A day of prayer and fasting
On February 24, 2025, we mark the third year since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. As we reflect on this solemn anniversary, we are reminded of the steadfast faith, courage, and perseverance of our brothers and sisters in Christ who continue to endure unimaginable hardships.
We are calling on our global fellowship of churches to dedicate February 24, 2025, as a day of fasting, prayer, and financial support for Ukraine. Let us unite to petition God for peace, perseverance, and healing for Ukraine, and to share generously from the blessings he has given us.
100% of these donations will be used to meet the physical and spiritual needs of disciples and congregations in our fellowship of churches that are being affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
Faithfully Persevering
Since February 24, 2022, over 2,500 of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine have seen their lives irreversibly changed. Nonetheless, the Kyiv Church became a beacon of light in the darkness as they established a rehabilitation center which has already served over 500 men traumatized by war. Over 30 of these men made a decision to make Jesus their Lord through baptism. Thanks to your prayers and generosity, the Ukraine Relief Fund has provided vital aid: supporting ministry staff, supplying humanitarian relief, and helping displaced disciples find refuge.
3 years later, the need remains great. The war continues to bring destruction, displacement, and despair to our Ukrainian family. Churches face enormous challenges – lack of food, water, clothing, housing, and medical care. Spiritual needs have also intensified, with staffing cuts leaving many vulnerable and overwhelmed.
The heart of a child.
Hear from some of Ukraine’s preteens as they share their prayers to God for their families, for the sirens to stop, and for the end to the war. They inspire us with their joy, their hearts for God, and their incredible resilience despite living 3 years of their young lives in an active war. Let’s join together to pray with them.
Ukrainian Camps bring Families Hope.
Thanks to your generous donations we have been able to partner together with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters to provide a variety of camps focussed on youth and families. These camps were incredibly needed and so many countless hours went into planning and directing the camps with a prayer to provide joy, faith and fun for families that have suffered because of the war. Hear about some of the takeaways and incredibly moving testimonies of God at work through the camps this past summer.
Sasha’s Story
Sasha Vinokurov was a faithful disciple, husband, father of three children, and a leader in Irpin (a suburb outside Kyiv). When Russian troops entered Bucha and Irpin, Sasha risked his life to evacuate many disciples as well as complete strangers from the area under attack. He ended up saving the lives of more than 1000 people. Unfortunately, he later died tragically on peaceful territory. He received a posthumous award of gratitude from the community of Irpin for his selfless volunteer work and service to the local community.
