Virtual Tour of Ukraine Protests

Over the last few years the people of Ukraine have stolen my heart.  The protests in Kiev and now other cities have been on my mind since they first began.  One of the first things I do every morning is check the news and updates from friends in Kiev to see what transpired while I was sleeping.

I want to share this article with you because it provides the best visual descriptions of the protests that I’ve seen.  It’s a virtual tour of the protest grounds provided by the protestors themselves.  There is no media bias here.

Please understand that these protests aren’t a disorganized hodgepodge of fiery radicals.  This isn’t about hate or revenge.  This isn’t a grab for power.  This is about democracy and throwing off tyranny, corruption and oppression. The people of Ukraine have suffered enough subjection.  It’s time for them to be free.

For the most part, the protests are incredibly organized, intelligent, and humane.  Check it out for yourself and pass it on.

A little about me: I’ve been a student pastor for 12 years and currently serve as the student ministries pastor at Ada Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI. Ada Bible is a multi-site church of about 9,000. Most of my time is devoted to leading my amazing team, writing curriculum, teaching, and trying to navigate the challenges of multi-site church. I absolutely love my job and the people I am blessed to serve with. I’m primarily a family guy. My wife and I have five incredibly awesome and unique kids. Most of my free time is devoted to them. When I can find time for me, I love beach volleyball, writing, fishing, video games or a good book.
