EEA Press Release for release on 24th February 2026

by Peter Artman and Robbert-Jan Perk (EEA Hope for Europe Prayer Network)


There are two things I have struggled with for as long as I can remember: I never felt fully at home anywhere, and I was never sure I was good enough.
I was born the early 1980s in Georgia into a mixed Georgian-Ukrainian family. Living through the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the rise of nationalist discourse, I was never fully accepted as “purely Georgian.” “Georgia for Georgians” was the driving motto of society. Already in my school years, I would hear from classmates: “Go away, you Russian”—a pejorative at the time. Some teachers would crush my enthusiasm for learning by saying, “You will never think and write like real Georgians.” I remember feeling ashamed of my background, of my mother, and wishing she could be like “all the other moms” at school’s parents meetings.

Recently, I was talking to a Christian colleague who works in the world of anti-human trafficking ministry. (I chair the Board of the European Freedom Network). She had been talking with a non-Christian leader in the same field who seemed distinctly suspicious of the faith element of Christians who reach out to serve the most needy.

I was recently in Lviv, Ukraine, and had an opportunity to talk with a brother in Christ who was conscripted and now serves as a soldier in the Ukrainian army. Knowing him as a civilian and missionary in the past, and seeing him now in military uniform, moved me deeply. This led us to a more open conversation, presented here in the form of an interview.

Read moreWelcome to June! This month we leave Spring behind and enter Summer. It has been a long and challenging year, and summer has it’s own set of challenges. While some things get quieter, other things get busier – camps, kid’s programs, less human resources in church (logistic challenges). It is also the time that we usually try and fit in our holiday, to get a break from the hectic pace of the other seasons.
