Update
A big thank you for your gift of financial support and prayer! In the midst of the fray and horrors, that we are hearing coming out of Ukraine, there is a silver lining of miraculous redemption and protection.

Praise Reports:
This weekend; food, and critical items that you helped us gather, are crossing the border from Romania into Ukraine via trucks and smaller vehicles where they will be distributed.
With our teams in Europe - This week we’re able to facilitate families’ departures and settling in Poland, Romania, and Germany.
We are able to directly fund our teams in Ukraine with resources to buy food and medication in hard-hit areas.
LoveUkraine care packages are being shipped from Baltimore with the final destination being families in Ukraine really needing it
We are making connections and partnerships around the country and in Europe to funnel supplies over the borders and on the ground in Ukraine.
There is a growing team in Maryland that sacrificially are helping get things into planes to ship to Ukraine
Prayer Points:
Above all, we are praying for wisdom
Protection for our teams on the ground in Ukraine. In some cases, our teams are staying to the last minute to serve in their cities and neighborhoods.
Protection for the many kids and orphans caught in the crossfire of this war.
Protection for the older and handicapped that cannot leave
Prayer and protection for all the men from 18-60 years of age that are not allowed to Leave Ukraine sending their families on and they themselves staying behind to fight.
Protection and provision for the Ukrainian soldiers standing their ground with little to no supplies
Protective gear to reach our guys on the ground. (Some of our men on the ground have volunteered or have been drafted by the Ukrainian army to patrol the streets at night. Because the invading troops have night vision capabilities they are striking at night. If you’d like to sponsor (non-lethal) night vision scopes for our guys on night patrols - they are immediately available for the time being to be bought on the ground for $2800 apiece)
Pray for logistics getting things across the border into Ukraine. Many things that are needed such as medication are scarcely available in Poland and Romania.
Pray for those many Russian soldiers who are just boys that are surrendering en masse due to fear, confusion, hunger, and lack of supplies
Pray for the health of some of our team members on the Romanian border.
Pray as we are looking for more housing in the Lviv region for refugees coming from the east and south.
Thank you and God bless you.
Christian & Gosia
& the whole Love Ukraine Team
