Eastern Europe
The term “Eastern Europe” is often used to describe the area that was previously ruled by communist regimes. Because of this, the boundaries of Eastern Europe can differ depending on the context, but most often are the countries making up the eastern part of the European continent. Our partners in Eastern Europe were previously living and working in Ukraine, prior to Russia’s invasion in 2022. Due to the war, these partners are now based out of Hungary while continuing to work with church planters across Ukraine.
