Millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes since Russia’s full-scale invasion was launched in February 2022. While many fled across borders, many more escaped to safer cities within Ukraine. We partner with church leaders and pastors in Ukraine so that they can continue serving their people, offering hope and supporting those who have fled the most dangerous areas in Eastern Ukraine.

The Opportunity

The church leaders we support in Ukraine have made the conscious decision to stay and help those displaced by the war who are searching for safety, warmth, and compassion. For them, war is not a story in the news, but friends and family members on the front lines, empty streets, shelled buildings and humanitarian crisis. In these circumstances, churches have become a point of survival and hope. Your support does not just offer humanitarian aid. It represents a warm meal for a tired mother, a night of shelter for a family with small children, comfort for someone who has lost their home, and an opportunity for Good News to be heard where it was not expected. Many who would never have crossed the threshold of a church are coming to know Jesus because of the simple, practical love being shared with them.

The Goal

Assist churches in Ukraine, so they can continue to be a source of life, safety, and hope in the midst of war. Those fleeing conflict zones are using all the money they have just to escape. At the same time, the funding and humanitarian programs in western Ukraine are dwindling. Thus, churches face a challenge to find resources to help them, especially food and hygiene items.

The Strategy

We are supporting churches in Ukraine as they come alongside those displaced by the war. They provide hot meals, hygiene products, clothing, and medicine. The love of Jesus and the hope found in God’s promises are shared at the same time. For example, one church hosts a day center for internally displaced children and families. They provide hot lunches and a warm place to be. They offer math and English classes for children, drawing and art circles, and art therapy. Additionally, they distribute personal hygiene products, medical kits, and warm clothes. Other pastors and volunteers courageously travel into what is known as the gray zone—areas along the sprawling front line where neither Ukraine nor Russia has full control. Before departing with a load of evacuees, they deliver humanitarian aid and spend time visiting, listening to people’s stories, sharing the hope of Christ, and praying with those living through the daily hardships of war. Despite the constant threat, evacuation teams continue their work almost every day rescuing people from communities under relentless shelling.

Progress

We are thankful to our generous financial partners! We have received over $330,000 in donations to assist the people of Ukraine through Ukrainian churches since February 2022. We have already sent $45,000 in 2026. Funds have provided hot meals, food packages, clothing, hygiene products, medication, transportation, and other practical assistance essential for people displaced from conflict zones near the Russian border. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, we contributed a total of $75,000 to support church-based ministries including evacuating people from conflict zones and providing food and medicine. In 2022, we sent nearly $170,000 of assistance that helped Ukrainian pastors and their families stay in their communities. Our funding provided heating and power so that they could distribute food and other basic assistance to vulnerable people in Ukraine. We also helped purchase several vehicles to get assistance to where it was most needed—and to help get people out of conflict zones.
