Thank you for your support and prayers, because of it many of our families in Ukraine are getting the urgent help they need.
PRAISE REPORTS:
We have been able to help sponsor 6 trips with buses for refugees fleeing Kharkiv (the location of one of the worst fighting and bombings) back to safety in Central Ukraine. Our churches that are still meeting are meeting in bomb shelters (see photos below)
We have been able to secure much-needed aid to supply our distribution and aid centers in Lviv, Cherkasy, and Kyiv.
More families are getting housing in Poland - we are so thankful for the sacrificial service of our teams in Poland have made to minister to them.
Our teams in all 4 locations in Ukraine are safe and though there were some close calls they have been free to serve.
One of our Kyiv teams, led by a Syrian pastor, has relocated out of Kyiv to Western Ukraine to serve Arab speakers trapped in Ukraine.
Many, many Ukrainians are responding to the gospel now in Poland and Ukraine. This is truly the silver lining in all this carnage.
"ADOPT A UKRAINIAN FAMILY" - INITIATIVE
I'd like to take a moment to let you know about our "Adopt-A-Ukrainian-Family" initiative. Due to the nature of this war, many men have had to send their wives and kids to Poland. There they are till the end of March, then we will need to find more permanent housing for them until the conflict is over and they can safely return. (This is a support initiative and not an attempt to finance immigration to the US).
If you'd like to adopt a family for 6 months please make your recurring gift here: https://evergrace.churchcenter.com/giving/to/adopt-a-ukrainian-family
