Helping Ukraine!

Many are wondering what can be done for our Adventist brothers and
sisters in Ukraine. With nearly 800 churches, and over 43,000 members,
the need is great as Ukraine tries to deal with the recent Russian
invasion.
Many are living in
basements and shelters. Others have seen their homes destroyed. Some
Adventist churches are providing shelters not just for their members,
but for the community. One thing is for certain, food is scarce in
certain parts of Ukraine. In addition, first aid and warm clothing are
in short supply.
We have
discovered a way to direct 100% of your donations directly to Adventist
churches in Ukraine. Olive Tree Ministry is an Adventist-owned
organization whose owner is Ukrainian and is able to immediately
transfer funds directly to various pastors within the war-torn country.
The Adventist pastors then direct those funds toward those with the
greatest needs. Olive Tree Ministry works in conjunction with many
Adventist churches to coordinate the best use of the donated funds.
Ukraine
Pastor Igor sends this message for our encouragement: "Please tell your
people, because of their prayers, God really fights our battles. The
rockets disappear in the air without reaching our homes and no one knows
where did they go, enemy tanks run out of fuel. Russian troops get lost
and ask our locals for food and direction. That is definitely God
because we are dealing with the second largest army in the world. This
morning Kyiv and other major cities are still free and we who live in
Kyiv did not have to run to our basement. Thank you for standing in
prayer together for this glory! Praise the Lord!"
If
you are feeling called to make a donation for the cause in Ukraine,
then please give through our church portal by clicking here: Adventist Giving
Whether
you donate $10 or much more, the Lord will bless the gifts of His
people for those who are suffering on the other side of the world. And
let's also continue to keep the people of Ukraine in our daily prayers!
It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
