After doing ministry in Russia for over 20 years I can see why the families and individuals are so traumatized. Socialism which began with promises that poor workers would receive medical care and good working conditions ended up beaten starved and destroyed. Only Party Members were able to prosper materially but were also destroyed spiritually.
Read How to Be Me in My Family Tree for information about healing generational trauma.I have never met a person who was struggling with a legacy of destruction wrought by Bolshevik persecution and terror. I placed several charts on this blog showing the high correlation between Adverse Child Events and Adult diseases, addictions and mental illness. No wonder the people who lived under those dreadful circumstance are suffering from early death and the rampant onset of disease.
The film below is A short history of Communism on the BBC. Powerful and disturbing scenes from recent history.I found the film well done and very instructive. The photo of Stalin shows a man who did more to destroy individuals and families than any person on earth other than Mao.
Lost World of Communism
This photo shows the weight of baggage being carried by the people of the former Soviet Union. Thankfully, Sweeten Life's ministry is actively involved among the hurting people "Healing the broken hearted and setting those captives free."
God is moving through Sweeten Life. Can you support us? Go to the web and find out how.
Numerous people are coming to faith in Christ and being renewed in their faith that had been squelched by the oppression of evil dictators. The political situation between the USA and Russia is tense but the spiritual and emotional relationships are strong. The people who lived under the Soviets appreciate the prayers of Christians from the USA. They appreciate the Bibles that we sent secretly to them when it was illegal under the United Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR).
