Ukraine: Evangelical Christians Living a Nightmare
Ukraine's evangelical Christians are bearing the brunt of the country's conflict, often with deadly consequences. It's a scene that has played in Elena Velichko's mind over and over. Pro-Russian rebels took over her hometown in early April. Elena's husband, Vladimir, told her to take the kids and leave the city. "He took us to the train station and we said goodbye," she explains. "He said, 'I love you.' He kissed me and the children, and left." Several days later, Elena's life, and that of her eight children, ages 2 to 16, suddenly turned upside down. Vladimir had been murdered for his faith.
