“Now is the time to be good Samaritan! And we are all united to serve others!”

Bogdan
Lifesong Ukraine Team Leader

Where there are many needs, there are many opportunities to serve. The Lifesong Ukraine team is uniquely equipped to serve the vulnerable and hurting—it’s what they’ve been doing (and doing well!) for the last 20 years.

As the conflict continues, here’s how the team is meeting needs—

Evacuation. Our team is working to move more people in Kharkiv and Chernigov to safer locations in western Ukraine.

Shelter. While most have traveled west, a few team members have chosen to stay in Kharkiv to continue serving those who can’t evacuate the city. They’re offering displaced people secure shelter along with food and other resources.

Refugees. Our team is actively planning how we can set up operations across the border, starting with moving some staff into one of Ukraine’s neighboring countries.

(At the time of writing, over 650,000 individuals are displaced, and that number is expected to increase exponentially.)

No one is more vulnerable than a child without a safe and stable family. Beyond helping orphaned children, our goal is to preserve families and prevent more children from becoming orphaned. Lord willing, providing resources and shelter to the displaced will keep many families together.

Please pray for Ukraine and specifically:

• For those who remain in cities to stay safe and meet needs whenever possible.
• For children in State-run orphanages to be cared for and to feel God’s peace.
• That our team would have clarity and wisdom as they plan how to best care for refugees and the displaced.
• For a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
• That God would be glorified and made known through these events.
