We are scheduled to start loading up our 7^th truck of relief supplies for Ukraine on Friday 19^th April.

You might say, however, that “by that point, Easter will have long gone!” True, but in Ukraine, Easter is celebrated on 5^th May, and so we still have about a month and a half to fill the truck. We estimate that we are currently about halfway there! So, there is still some work to be done! We hope and pray that you will help us once more and that God will also provide once again!

The testimonies below show that our help is having a real impact and brings with it many blessings. In his update, Pastor Viktor Krotyk's tells us that they too remain 100% committed to helping people in need, but also how great their need continues to be even after two years of war!

At the moment, we are collecting all kinds of items to take to the eastern and southern frontline areas, as with the most recent Russian offensive there is another wave of refugees, who are travelling distances of 40 to 50 km. Once the offensive is over, they return only to find that, unfortunately for many of them, their homes have been destroyed and they have nowhere else to go. Therefore, they need material, spiritual and mental health support.

We frequently have to act as counsellors to try and calm them down and help them to find solutions to the problems they are facing. The same goes for job searching, which is very important. 24^th February marked the second anniversary of the outbreak of war with the Russians, and on that day we declared a day of prayer and fasting for victory over evil, the end of the war, and for peace to come to Ukraine.

Please pray for us and the people of Ukraine because everyone has had enough of the war and the fact that the situation on the front continues to deteriorate. For four days in a row, Ukrainian soldiers have been buried in our community. Yesterday, a soldier was buried in our village.
