ECM requires
The church in the Ukraine increased hard against the trend of the biggest part of Europe. Meanwhile other forms of religion or spirituality are popular. What's more the cultural and economic approach to Western Europe consumes the religious feeling of the people.

The church in Ukraine particularly needs equipment for church planting, church leaders and pastoral work. ECM wants to contribute there. 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). Dependent upon Russia’s oil and gas.
