We are deeply grateful to St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church and Father Robert Jager for graciously hosting today’s screening of the powerful documentary “No God But Theirs”. The film sheds light on Russia’s persecution of Ukrainian Christians and the courage of those who continue to stand firm in their faith.We especially thank the parish community of St. John Chrysostom for their generous donation of $1,500 toward our fundraiser. These funds will go directly toward purchasing tourniquets and blood-clotting bandages — life-saving supplies for Ukrainian defenders on the front line. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your solidarity, compassion, and belief in the power of good. 💛💙Дякуємо від щирого серця за солідарність, співчуття і віру в силу добра. 💛💙 ...

Tomorrow’s the day! Important. Emotional. Real.Who’s coming with us?🇺🇦 Documentary Screening: Russia’s Crackdown on Ukrainian ChristiansJoin us for a powerful and eye-opening documentary followed by a Q&A session.🕛 Sunday, June 22 at 12:00 PM📍 St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church5858 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, OH 43231 (Church Hall)Russia often claims to defend Christian values. But in reality, churches that don’t support Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime are banned, and their clergy face systemic repression.In the investigative documentary, No God but Theirs, the Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit uncovers the persecution of Ukrainian Christian communities in Melitopol, a city in eastern Ukraine now under Russian occupation.Melitopol has long been a place of religious and cultural diversity, where Christian churches, including vibrant Protestant and Greek Catholic communities, coexisted peacefully. But after Russia’s full-scale invasion, everything changed.As the occupation took hold, churches became more than places of worship — they became pillars of resilience. Locals gathered for daily prayers in the city’s central square. Russia responded with a brutal crackdown.Hear firsthand testimony from Father Oleksandr Bohomaz, and learn how faith, identity, and resistance endure in the face of oppression.🕊️ Stand in solidarity. Witness the truth. Share the story. ... See MoreSee Less
