Vira came from [a different Ukrainian] region. The son and his family stayed in the city. When I asked if she could talk with them on the phone, Vera replied that she could not, because the occupation authorities introduced a wiretap connection there. The woman lives in a local hostel and says that it is very good for her that she could receive the aid here. Praise God!

Thanks to the project, we can help people in difficult circumstances with medicine. Yaroslav is in such circumstances. Before retirement, he worked in the far north of the Soviet Union. He was a soldier and received a pension in Russia. After February 24, he stopped receiving his pension due to the war. He has kidney cancer and needs constant therapy. His story is special because last year he repented and received the Lord and was baptized in the bathtub at his home. Before that, he had a bad fever and took antibiotics and antipyretics. One day later after the baptism, he had no fever, and he even started driving a car and riding a bicycle. He has never missed Sunday services. Pray for the wife and the whole family to come to the Lord. God has a plan for His name to be glorified through Yaroslav. He is regularly examined by the doctor. Kidneys need to be supported by preventive treatment. Yaroslav is grateful for the medicine.

All these women have their families and each of them have two or more children. When they were children they attended the House of Prayer, Sunday school classes, and children’s Christian camps. They grew up in a dysfunctional family. Their mother had a different man every day. They could watch constant quarrels, drunkenness . . . every day. The children were raised in the street. Now both their mother and all the ladies occasionally attend church services. Unfortunately, it happens on holidays, but . . . the understanding that they need to change their lives is increasing every time. At the moment, it’s impossible to get a job in the village. Even men do not work. Therefore, these grocery sets and hygiene items are very necessary for them. Galya, Tanya and Diana sincerely thank SGA and donors for the care which is shown in this difficult time. 

Mykola is a man with a big and kind heart! He learned about the Lord from his old grandmother who is already in eternity with God (she was a member of our church). He regularly attends church services. He himself has major health problems – he has already suffered three strokes, a heart attack, has problems with his legs, but this does not prevent him from attending the House of God! It is a pleasant surprise for us that when his friends, neighbors and even relatives sometimes invite him to have a drink, he answers them firmly: “I am going to the House of Prayer, to pray to God for myself, for our boys at the front, just leave me!” Having health problems, Mykola is unable to work as he would like. His wife is a disabled person, too. She had several surgeries. Therefore, these packages are a great support and help for this family! Pray for them to come to know the Lord as their Savior.

As a child, Vitaly was at Christian camps and, heard about God, but it did not become special to him. Two years ago, his father, who worked as a truck driver, did not wake up in the morning as his heart stopped beating at night. Vitaly, his brother Vasily and their mother could not come to their senses for a long time, could not believe this terrible news. After the father’s death, the brothers became truck drivers. They work in the field harvesting. They haven’t been to the House of Prayer yet, but with the help of these grocery sets, hygiene items, we got to know each other better, we have witnessed about the One who loves and will not leave orphans. The family is infinitely grateful for the help in this difficult time. May the Almighty reward you a hundredfold for your ministry and your care. Remember that your work is not in vain before God!

This family consists of two parents and two adult children. Daughter Masha is raising a son without a father (he left the family), and another son, Mykhailo, is at war in one of the hot spots. They live next to the House of Prayer and we have good neighborly relations with them. We decided to help the family and thank them for their son who protects us enemy. We told them about God’s protection through our prayers. They are grateful for the aid and care.

This family consists of a mother and an adult son. The woman’s younger son was killed in a car accident. The family life of the eldest son did not work out, so he returned home. He went to the front to defend our Ukraine, although he was exempt from service due to his health problems and could stay at home, but he wanted to help the army. Therefore, he is in the war now. When we visited the mother and showed God’s care and love for her, she cried. The son is in a hot spot in the Donetsk region, and if he dies, the woman will be left completely alone. We had a good conversation about God being over what we have no power.

 This family consists of two parents and an adult daughter. Peter’s father is ill with cancer, he underwent treatment and surgery. The man is not healthy enough to work.

These are pensioners who live in a small village. Kateryna has a terrible disease, kidney failure. One to two times a week this married couple rents a car and goes to the regional center to the hospital for dialysis. As their pensions are too small these two pensioners are having a hard time coping with all the problems that arise in such a difficult state of war in our country. They are sincerely grateful to you, our dear donors, for the help that is very valuable and needed in such difficult times.

Olya, a forced migrant, came with her parents, her younger sister Maryna, who is 11 years old, and her three own children Yehor, Artem and Nastya. They settled in a house where no one had lived for a long time, in which there were no beds to sleep in. The local church helped them with beds. Currently, the family planted a vegetable garden to have vegetables and fruits for food. The family is very grateful for the help in such a difficult war time for our country.

Tanya is very grateful for the aid and care, because it is very difficult for her to live at the time of the war. Tanya grew up at an orphanage. She has 4 children Vika, Sasha, Zoryana, and Bohdan, and has a husband. Unfortunately, the husband leads an immoral lifestyle, does not help Tanya with the children and does not want to provide for the family. Tanya is currently on maternity leave. Your aid is very appropriate at such a difficult time for our country and for the family.

Young mother Yana and her son Kirill, who is seven years old, fled the war. It took them three days to get here. The trip filled with fear, tears and prayers brought them to our village.

Yana is very grateful to you for your help in such a difficult and terrible military situation in our country.

Gennady, his wife, his son, and elderly parents lived in [a different region in Ukraine]. They were under occupation until June 28. Unemployment and lack of money prompted the family to leave their native town. The family does not have their own vehicle. There were no more evacuation buses from the Kherson region because they were blocked by the occupiers. There was only one way out: to negotiate with private carriers, who set the condition of paying 5,500 hryvnias per person for crossing the enemy checkpoint. There was no choice. Almost all savings were spent on the tickets. They thank you for the aid. We presented them with the New Testament.
