Marine Corps veteran, farmer, and entrepreneur, Colby Barrett shares his latest mission to where he witnessed the front lines of Vladimir Putin’s war on Christianity in occupied Ukraine. These horrifying accounts promoted Colby to produce a gripping new documentary titled, “A Faith Under Siege”. He discusses his experience and let’s you know how you can watch this documentary. U.S. Ambassador J. Kenneth Blackwell (ret.), United Nations Human Rights Commission, says; “One of today's great untold stories of believers suffering for their faith yet overcoming through their faith comes from Ukraine. More than 2.5 million Ukrainian Christians live under Russian occupation. Vladimir Putin has shut down every church in occupied Ukraine not controlled by the Kremlin and made it a crime for believers to hold a Bible study in their home. A Faith Under Siege gives us a look into the lives of courageous Christians who have suffered so much yet kept their eyes on the Lord.”
