Classroom by Day, Shelter by Night - Ukraine Crisis Story

Kremenchuk Evangelical Seminary (KES) is one of the oldest and largest seminaries in Ukraine. SEND has partnered with KES by sending funds and teachers to the school. Now, in this crisis, your gifts are literally keeping the lights on and the utilities going.

KES is doing a great job of transporting, feeding, housing, and comforting refugees in the name of Christ. Since the start of the war, their doors have been constantly open to refugees, and they have become a humanitarian aid center. The cost of utilities is much more than usual. Even though the government will probably provide financial help to individuals, universities and schools who house refugees, it doesn’t look like that help will extend to religious organizations.

In the words of the seminary president: "Because you helped us, I am able to sleep much better."

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.
