In the final episode of season 4, we take a look at what it means to dig deeper wells with Jesus. This episode is broken up into 3 different segments. The first is a recap of all that transpired with our church during the first few months of the war. The second is a testimony from Phil and his friend Margo on their experiences in Ukraine during the war. And finally an epilogue of our staff’s takeaways during this season of ministry. The point of this final episode is not to draw a conclusion about what we did during this time. But what we gained by allowing God to have His way in this situation. Through it all, we learned more of the foundational truth that everyone always needs Jesus at the center of their lives.

In this season of Crossing Cultures, we tell our story of how God taught a Local Church what it means to have a Global Heart. This is not the story of good guys versus bad guys or people helping those in need- it’s the story of ALL people needing Jesus in different seasons of their lives. Our Ukrainian friends needed help getting into America and on to the next phase of their lives- we needed them to remind us of the global heart of God.
More episodes in the season are coming soon. Make sure to subscribe to our channel to be updated whenever new episodes are posted!
