Four years ago, Ukraine was plunged into turmoil when Russia launched a full-scale invasion, startling the Western world. The idea of one European nation invading another seemed unimaginable. Now, after four years of ongoing conflict, countless lives have been lost, many people have been displaced, and an entire generation has grown up without knowing peace.
When the war began, Hope Lebedyn didn't step back—it stepped forward! Why? Because it's about family. Paul writes in Corinthians: "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it." With the support of many devoted supporters, the team expanded its efforts to meet the challenges in Lebedyn and the Sumy region.
More than 30 camps have been organised for children and teenagers, tens of thousands of loaves have been distributed, nearly 100 tons of aid provided, wood stoves supplied, as well as thousands of emergency food and hygiene kits. Support and services have been offered to refugees, orphanages, and hospitals, representing only a portion of the ongoing efforts to assist those in need. Despite these initiatives, significant needs remain unmet. Poverty continues to worsen, and many individuals are seeking hope—hope for peace, an end to violence, and ultimately, for greater meaning. The work and outreach persist, with a central aim to present the true source of hope: Jesus Christ.
There is a danger that after 4 years of war we become fatigued by all we see. It can become old news. But for the people in Ukraine, it is very much today’s news. The bible tells us in Galatians “ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Let’s keep supporting people in Ukraine through practical efforts and prayer. The video above shares more details.
Thank you!
