Heat & Hope: How Faith Is Saving Lives in Ukraine’s Darkest Winter | Michael Johnson

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Michael Johnson, President of the Slavic Gospel Association, to discuss the escalating humanitarian crisis in Ukraine as families face freezing temperatures, widespread power outages, and nonstop uncertainty.

With over 40% of Ukraine’s power infrastructure destroyed, millions are struggling to survive without consistent heat or electricity. Through the Heat and Hope campaign, Slavic Gospel Association is delivering firewood, generators, blankets, and life-saving support—often through pastors risking their lives near the frontlines.

Michael shares:

What daily life looks like for families surviving without heat
How local churches have become emergency warming centers
Why faith is more than belief—it’s action in moments like this
How everyday people can make a real-world impact right now

This is a story about leadership under pressure, courage in the face of danger, and how hope survives—even in the coldest places on earth.
