These photos are from Kharkiv that our team from Cherkasy drove out to this past week. In the photos, you can see people that have come out of hiding in shelters for the aid that they brought This is happening 8 times this month because of your support, help, and prayers. Thank you for loving on the Ukrainian people with Gospel Hope and comfort!
I just got back from Poland and it was incredible to see what is happening!

URGENT PRAYER POINTS
Prayer for Wisdom and discretion
8 of our men staying behind in Ukraine have been drafted by the Ukrainian army into the war in defense of their city and country. We hear from time to time such as this morning of the fatalities of their friends and fellow soldiers. Please pray for the protection of the soldiers and peace for their families holding the ropes behind at home.
Plans are coming together for a youth camp in July in a beautiful part of Poland for Ukrainian youth and orphans sheltering in Poland - We are looking for sponsors to sponsor a child to go to the camp. We need camp counselors who can volunteer to be a part of these kiddos’ healing and restoration.
50 more “Adopt-A-Ukrainian-Family” sponsors that can commit to $20-$500 /mo for the next 6 months.
The Next 6 Months
Our LoveUkraine endeavor continues and has 3 phases to it over the next 5 years:
Rescue - Continue to take trips into hotspots and cities, where war rages on, to deliver critical aid. Then to locate and rescue families in basements and bomb shelters and transporting them to safe zones in Ukraine and abroad.
Relieve - To continue to provide aid and resources to families separated from loved ones and displaced from their homes. To provide church families and communities with missionaries to labor among the Ukrainians with Gospel Hope and Healing.
Rebuild - Begin the process of rebuilding communities by planting churches and funding missional communities, starting and strengthening schools, and staffing and funding orphanages.
As the war in Ukraine rages on, spiritual and physical needs abound. 7 million Ukrainians are displaced from their homes and 3 million refugees are in Poland.
The EU and other European countries have done little to help the refugees - it is the people of Poland, of Europe, and people such as yourself that are personally helping at your own expense many of those displaced.
Thank you again,
Christian & Gosia
