Indefensible borders and flat plains have historically made Belarus a pawn in international politics and a battlefield in war.

The Chernobyl catastrophe in the Ukraine blanketed Belarus with toxic radioactive debris, deeply affecting the morale of the people, prompting a longing for spiritual answers, with many fearing premature death. Many former Communist Party members and fence sitting non-religious people have returned to Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and it has become fashionable to be Christian. However, real understanding of the gospel and willingness for true discipleship are still lacking.
