Nina Andrechuk is the pro-life counselor at the Gift of Life Center in Kremenetz, Ukraine. During a time of death and destruction inflicted on her country by the murderous Russian invasion, last year she and her colleagues made presentations about the sanctity of life to nearly 5000 people. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb . . . I am fearfully and wonderfully made . . . (Psalm 139).” Her work supports Gift of Life’s efforts to share the Good News about Jesus Christ. In Advent we sing, “Savior of the nations, come!” (Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary, #90)
