Last month marked a grim milestone for the war in Ukraine. It was one year since we were all startled and disheartened by the news that Russia had boldly attacked Ukraine.

We have heard and read story after story of overwhelming hardship, of significant loss, and of widespread destruction. Yet also in the midst of this tragedy we have seen goodness, kindness, unity . . . and above all, many souls being turned by God to Him. 

This amazing paradox should never leave our thoughts—that in the worst of times physically, God is often pointing His children to the best of times spiritually. It defies human wisdom, and we stand in awe of all that God does in light of our sinful hearts and finite minds. Let’s press on!

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

— Galatians 6:9-10

In a time of great uncertainty, God is bringing help, healing, and hope to the people of Ukraine through SGA-supported pastors, churches, a seminary, and SGA-sponsored Compassion Ministry. Be a part of God’s incredible work with your generosity and prayer support.  

Your gift of compassion helps struggling people with emergency aid that generally includes Scripture materials, food, medicine, warm clothing, and shoes.
