Before 2022, a staff of 25 and targe volunteer team worked with orphans, and at-risk children all over eastern Ukraine. Now a staff of 3 and almost no volunteers are working in the area. Many left the country, others moved to Western Ukraine, and men were catted to war. Families that had children with disabilities were evacuated and the center was closed. 

Ministry Work 

God has done amazing things in the past 3 years as the ministry has completely evolved. God has miraculously kept the family and team safe in spite of attacks near their homes and travel routes. God has helped them continue without many volunteers, especially men. However, they remain strong in the Lord and are very busy serving those that suffer most in war—the elderly, the children, and the disabled. 

Prayer Requests 

• Pray for peace in Ukraine. Pray also for the safety of the team as they travel in high-risk areas and experience drone attacks frequently in Odessa. 
  

• Pray for ministry in three large regions of Ukraine; Odessa, Kherson, and Nickolaev, whose needs are great during this time of war: 
  

• May God allow the evacuation of the elderly, families that are at risk, and people with disabilities from the terribly affected areas in Nickolaev and Kherson. 
  

• Pray for clean running water, food and electricity and repairs for ruined houses. May God provide for the children through clubs and camps. 
  

• May God help the team provide health evaluations, acceptable documents, suitable housing for those in need, and heat during the brutal winter. 
  

• May God sustain several different organizations that we partner with including Samaritan's Purse, The Tim Tebow Foundation, Food Bank Ukraine, and Christian Aid UK.
