From one of our church partners in Ukraine:

"Due to the war, millions of Ukrainian teenagers had to leave their home, friends, and school. Some of those teenagers fled to our city. Here they were lonely and scared since they are unfamiliar with this new city. That's why the youth of our church decided to become friends for them. It was a big joy for us to take the teenagers to the 'Young Life' Christian camp in the mountains.

"It was an unbelievable opportunity to give these young people hope and tell them about Christ. Praise God, we found the sponsors who paid for the teenage refugees. God also blessed us with the necessary equipment: sleeping bags / backpacks / flashlights.

"During the camp we became close with the teenagers and had a chance to make a positive impact on them. For example, one girl was seriously thinking about committing suicide before she got to meet us. However, at the camp she made up her mind that she wants to keep living and she has come closer to Jesus. We are also very excited that seven youngsters accepted Jesus as their savior. God is awesome!

"Now we want to help them grow as Christians through small Bible study groups and discipleship.

"I want to thank everyone who prays and supports the church financially. Together we can reach the great heights for God's glory!"
