We are privileged to partner with our friend of 28 years, Oles Sh. —father of 3, and now an unemployed volunteer helping the people of Ukraine. Here’s his update:

 Thank you for continuing to stand with us.  I guess the world is getting tired of the long-standing needs in Ukraine.  And it is not easy for you to find like-minded people and those who are ready to support us.  But I also see that God gives answers in a timely manner.  I will be involved in rebuilding homes and distributing aid to people affected by the war as much as I can.  Pray for protection and a speedy recovery after each trip.  Because, it’s not as hard physically as it is emotionally draining.  It’s hard to see cities destroyed and people wounded by war.  On Tuesday I returned from a two-day trip to Kharkiv.  it was a very effective time.  We brought a lot of medicine for the military.  Food and many other important things for refugees.  Now I am preparing for a trip next Saturday to Uman.  I was invited there by a church that cares for 70 refugee families.  Next week I will continue to work on the restoration of houses in Gostomel.
