Our brother Oleksandr Illin and God’s Grace church in Warsaw work hard helping refugees from Ukraine. At first they settled people in a building which they rent from the Polish church: it had a kitchen, a bedroom, people, pets and so the building owners lacked a place for worship. Oleksandr often arranged stay for people who asked to spend a night somewhere and then they moved further to other parts of Europe. They tried to find low-cost apartments to rent for the dislocated people, collected humanitarian aid from Poland, Germany, Spain and sent it to Ukraine. The church holds morning and evening prayer meetings every day. Besides, Oleksandr is involved in the administrative job at the hotel where 150 Ukrainians live and it’s a big field for sharing the Gospel. Right at the hotel they do evening service and events for kids, like movies, crafts, and a lot of personal talks with people.

Their prayer need now is to find a big place for 300 seats for rent. Twice as much people began to attend worships and it is more than the place can seat comfortably. The church received a building downtown and brothers have already changed the roof and now this building is being used as a storage for humanitarian aid.
