A Rescue Hub

From one of our church partners in Ukraine:

"Due to its location, our city has become a rescue hub for thousands of refugees. By May 7, according to official information, more than 250,000 passed through the city and 117,627 were registered in the city. 32,296 of them are children. People are coming from Mariupol, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Energodar, Vasilievka, Pology and other towns and villages occupied by Russian Federation on East and South of Ukraine. It took more than 30 days for one family to get from Mariupol to our city...

"Many of them are our brothers and sisters in the Lord. To both Christians and unbelievers, our church and other churches provide shelter, food, clothes; help with getting new documents, etc. For those who need to continue their way to other cities or countries our brothers provide a ride using personal vans or those belong to church. Those refugees who stay receive packages of humanitarian help...

"Since the beginning of this ministry the church provided shelter for 125 people (53 of them are children). Our drivers meet newcomers at the registration center located near the border of the city. Right after refugees are brought to the church they get meal, shower, use a washing machine and take time to rest.

Thank you for your prayers and support!"

Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution only to break it in less than a week? On March 1, 1.8 billion Muslims began their annual fasting month called Ramadan. They are supposed to fast completely—no water or food—during daylight hours from March 1–Mar 29. It begins with much fanfare, promises, and declarations, as fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that faithfully keeping the fast ensures one’s place of favor with God.
