Simple Acts of Kindness - Ukraine Crisis Story

A simple act of kindness goes a long way in the middle of a crisis. It may not seem like much but what a big impact it had on one of our church partners in Ukraine:

Yesterday at our church service we invited men and young men from among the refugees [who are staying here] to help us unload a large vehicle, reload another vehicle and prepare the rest to be sent to a region where there is a humanitarian crisis. What was unusual was that more than 20 people showed up. They did the job very well and really helped us. We are glad because we have helped them for quite a while and they very sincerely helped us.

The Scriptures say: Galatians 6:7 "Don't be deceived; God cannot be mocked. For what a person sows, that is what he reaps!" And we clearly see this principle of God.

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.
