Editor’s Note: The image and story below were provided by an SGA-supported pastor in Ukraine.

During a lull in the fighting in Ukraine, SGA-supported Pastor Vlad quickly packed up his church van with emergency aid provided by generous friend like you. He reached an area of Ukraine where the opposition has already decimated a nearby city. And there he was able to share what he had with a group of neighbors.

Here is the rough translation from the video Pastor Vlad recorded below:

The Neighbors: Thank you for the aid, for not forsaking us. Needs are only growing, as there are many more who require humanitarian aid

Vlad:  Where are these people?

The Neighbors: “Hiding in basements. If possible, please, bring some foods that are easy to cook, like fast soups, instant soups or mashed potatoes, etc. and meds  

Vlad: I brought what we have. May God bless you. We are believers, therefore, everything that we do we do in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for peace.

The Neighbors:  Yes, we also prayed, and you came!

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.
