Summary
There are countless verses in the Bible reminding us that God alone is the great Provider, able to meet our needs even in the most unexpected circumstances. Olga Kukushkina, who shared her story at our Homewood, Alabama live gathering a few months ago, encourages us to rest in the truth of these verses as well as the sustaining love of our Heavenly Father, who sees all and is in all.
Be amazed as Olga recounts the details in which God miraculously made a way for her and her family to come to America after Russian tanks and troops took over her hometown in Kherson, Ukraine. This story is a beautiful illustration depicting the hands and feet of Christ working through His people to bring peace and comfort in the reality of war and chaos.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:
- There is a time for everything… A time for war and a time for peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
- God's presence is found in the details of your life
- God's love is high and wide and long and deep… He will never stop loving you.
