Send immediate support to Ukraine

I just received this firsthand report from one of our ministry partners on the ground in Ukraine:

From Kyiv ...

As the Russian troops have left, they left behind barbaric scenes of death and destruction, rape and random killing of civilians. Mass graves and dead bodies on the streets are everywhere and land mines have been scattered around like seeds in a field.

Our hearts are breaking as we witness the destruction and darkness that pervaded the suburbs of Kyiv. Please pray for our staff as we mourn. Pray for us to shine God’s loving light in the darkness. Also, the threat is still real—air raid sirens continue throughout the country. Please continue to pray for God’s shield around our staff, and pray for victory for Ukraine.

As additional details from the field reach me, I will keep you updated on what your compassionate response is doing for fleeing refugees, the internally displaced and others. The impact we are making is substantial and being accomplished through God’s amazing grace.

I am deeply grateful for the generous outpouring of love and tangible support I have seen by caring LRI friends like you.

I boldly, and humbly, ask you to give today to keep our on-the-ground outreach inside Ukraine and in many refugee destinations going strong.

The war is far from over. Imminent danger surrounds people, young and old, in many Ukrainian cities.

I pray your compassion has not run out.

Remember: For every $30 you give, six Ukrainian refugee children and their family members will receive a backpack full of supplies, including aid products, food and faith-based booklets.

God bless you for reaching out to children and families struggling with the moment-by-moment reality of this horrific war.
