“In the last days there will come times of difficulty.” (2 Tim. 3: 1) – we have read these words many times in the Bible, but perhaps only with the beginning of the war in Ukraine we truly understand its meaning. At the same time, we feel more than ever the truth of another biblical text: “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” (Proverbs 17:17).
We are infinitely grateful for the prayer guard, words of support, humanitarian aid, and financial donations to all our brothers and sisters from all over the world, and we regard them as a fraternal hand of help to suffering Ukraine.
Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Turkey, the United States, Armenia, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan are a non-exhaustive list of countries that have responded to our plight.
We were offered refugee housing in Poland (Warsaw, Gdansk), Belgium, and Germany. The brothers from Germany drove their own cars to the Polish border on their weekends to transport refugees to safe places.
We are sincerely grateful for every money transfer, for every humanitarian cargo!
How touching it was to see on the boxes with humanitarian aid from Spain printed and pasted by someone’s caring hand:
“Dear Ukrainians! At this difficult time for you, we want to say that we are with you, be strong in spirit – you are not alone. We want peace to return to your country, city, and heart.”
The intercessory prayers of our friends and words of encouragement are very valuable to us:
“Heavenly Father, I kneel before You, take care of our friends, brothers, and sisters, in this difficult time. I ask You for help and protection, for food and shelter for those in need. Strengthen the hearts and faith in You of those who hope in your name. Reveal your miracle and mercy, our Savior, in You we seek refuge, save us! ”
“We weep with you and share your pain. Thank you for shining like a light in a dark place, the living Church of Christ! May the Lord give you even more grace to be the hands of the Savior Jesus Christ working through you to serve the underprivileged. people! ”
“We just admire your service! It helps us to re-evaluate our priorities … The Lord will repay in due time, and now He will protect and bless you and your work! That’s how we entered the last lane of life on earth before Christ’s second coming! Your work cannot be overestimated if even one soul is saved … ”
Thank you, Lord, for your friends!
