Ukraine Refugee Ministry in East Ukraine

Praise the Lord for the opportunity I had to travel to east Ukraine in November with one of my teammates and with my TEAM Donor Relations colleague, Doug. We were able to see first hand the wonderful ways God is at work in the lives of the refugees and how God is using His church to reach out to help those in need. We were greeted by a pastor and his wife who immediately became like family to us. We visited orphanages and churches and met with pastors and church leaders who minister within the war zone. We were able to provide food and medicine for the refugees and orphans. Please continue to pray for those who are living close to the war zone because they hear bombings every night and it is difficult for them to sleep. Pray for peace for these people and that they may come to know the Prince of Peace, Jesus. We visited one church where one year ago there were only 10 people and now over 100 attend and many have repented and have been baptized.
