Support brothers and sisters caught in Ukraine's crossfire

The news out of Ukraine is truly tragic.

It has far-reaching implications that many don’t consider. The ones who will pay the highest cost? Our fellow believers throughout the country.

According to Christianity Today:

Since Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014—one of the central points of conflict in the current clash between the two countries—Protestant Christians in the territory have faced greater government penalties for practicing their faith.

Like elsewhere in Russia, meeting together to sing and read Scripture or letting others know about a church gathering puts believers at risk under a strict 2016 anti-evangelism law.

As Putin’s military forces continue their brutal assault on major Ukrainian cities, our brothers and sisters caught in the crossfire desperately need our help.

Russia’s persecution of Christians won’t stop at the Russian border—nor with Crimea ...

Ukraine is undoubtedly next.

Will you join us in giving them hope?

Your generous gift to Liberty Relief International will provide emergency relief to brothers and sisters struggling in this time of war. Through our Christ-centered partners, you’ll provide them with aid like food kits, water, shelter and safety—basic necessities needed to survive.

You will also help minister to their emotional needs by way of trauma counseling ... and you’ll provide spiritual support in the form of Bibles, faith-based materials and more.

As Elijah Brown of Baptist World Alliance told Christianity Today: “If the occupation of these territories is a foreshadow of what may come to Ukraine, it should lead all of us to pray with greater fervor."

I  urge you to pray for our brothers and sisters in that war-torn region.

I also ask that you give generously to help relieve suffering as war spreads.

God bless you for your compassion!
