Light for the World Christian Church, Reni, Ukraine

We are called to be light for the world and to be light in Reni, Ukraine. A church planted in 1996. We praise the lord for His faithfulness through all the years! So many people repented in this church and later the Lord send them to other places to shine their light. We are still one large family all over the world.

Let me take you by the hand

and lead you through the streets of Reni…

The Danube flows like a life-giving vein through the landscape. Reni has a port which used to be the main source of work and income but traffic has slowed down to a trickle.

The street where we live is still a dirt road. Reni has amazing, beautiful sunsets and a charming rustic atmosphere. It is an amazing conglomeration of different cultures with Ukrainian, Russian, Moldovan, Bulgarian, Gagauzian… to name just a few!

People are poor and struggling to survive. Many leave for bigger cities or job opportunities in other European countries. Dads are absent, families broken… children are at the receiving end of the cycle of poverty and addiction.
