The ECM team in the Ukraine is made up entirely of Ukrainians who are mostly based in Lviv. They are involved in a wide range of ministries including church planting, youth ministries, orphan care and on-line bible studies.

ECM desires churches in Ukraine to become strong and independent and multuply themselves in order that the Ukrainians and their fellow inhabitants will see the hope that the gospel contains.

Facts

Economy
Rich in mineral deposits (especially coal and iron ore) and highly arable land; Ukraine has great economic potential. A sustained postindependence economic plummet was reversed by several years of growth, but many Ukrainians hover on the edge of poverty. Transition to a market economy, while holding hope for a brighter future, has thus far been blighted by corruption, cronyism and uneven progress (cities grow while smaller towns wither and fade). Ukraine is dependent upon Russia’s oil and gas.
