Next weekend we have a very important trip with our team out to Bucha, Irpin, and Kyiv. If you remember in the news, Irpin and Bucha were two cities massacred by relentless bombing and random shooting of civilians. The population that remains in these cities is mainly made up of vulnerable people (elderly and handicapped) that are unable to leave.
Our team leader Mihailo wrote me late last night saying that next week they will take their 2 buses and after acquiring some aid and supplies, they will gas up and head out to Bucha, Irpin and then go to Kyiv. They will also be bringing food and medical supplies to some of our men who are now in Kyiv on a rotational rest for 10 days after fighting in the east. If you remember some of our leaders from our churches and teams were drafted and some volunteered to fight on the front in eastern Ukraine.
We have an immediate need by this weekend of $2000 for medical and food supplies for this trip next week. Please be praying about how you can help. You may pray and give here: https://evergrace.org/aboutloveukraine
Last weekend our team made it to Kharkiv with aid and outreach!
A couple of days ago I got these pictures and a short video from our team - here’s what they wrote:
“Finally, our team got to the Kharkiv region. Also, we made a trip to Odesa to bring food packages to Cherkasy for future trips! Thank everyone for prayers and help”
We had a fantastic camp for Ukrainian refugees in southern Poland with about 80 in attendance! I’m just getting back from that and will have a report and photos for you soon!
Thank you for your last-minute help!
Gosia and I want to thank you for your prayer and your support. It has made a difference and we are seeing people find hope in Christ during this time as well as get into a safe place for healing and discipleship.
God bless you,
Christian & Gosia
