Ukraine War Orphans receive Christ

Recently we were presented with the opportunity to minister to children taken from the city of Mariupol, a city that is no more. The war had taken everything from them. Now without mother and father, toys, family members, schools and neighborhoods they are in a government orphanage with an uncertain future.

Our national Pastor, Joseph Esenov, was able to get clearance for us to take food and gift bags full of things children like. This was Angie's first time to Ukraine and she had a great desire to bless to children. We helped fill cart loads of groceries and spend a day with the children.

It was a full day of activity, joy and communicating individually with the children with Google translate. A traditional Ukraine singing group had fun with the kids and well as other activities. God put smiles on all our faces and He proved once again that His love and grace is greater than our deepest tragedy.

But, greater than anything that happened this day...children folded their hands, opened their hearts and received Jesus as Savior! Praise the Lord! Our message to these precious ones is that Jesus will always be with them and that God would be a Father to them. Please pray with us for these children to be kept safe and that God would open doors for them to fulfill great things in His Name.

Many lives were changed as they responded to the message and the tug of the Holy Spirit. Broken hearts were healed and souls were saved. Glory! Pray for the church in Ukraine. Much encouragement is needed.

Tree of Life Church - Uzhhorod, Ukraine

Tree of Life Church is a new church plant led by Pastor Joseph Esenov. It's a joy to minister with our brothers and sisters in Christ as something new is sprouting in the time of war. God touched many hearts as He faithful does when we gather. We connected with dear friends once again in Uzhhorod. For Angie, it was her first time to meet ladies that she had been blessing with spa items from the start of the war.

Home Group Meetings for Prayer and encouragement from the scriptures.

Meeting in Believer's homes is so special. They really sacrifice to put something together with the food that they have and to be cheerful in these desperate times. It really moves our hearts as they demonstrate such grace and gratitude towards us visitors and appreciate that we would come and serve their nation at this time with the Love of Christ. Everyone is built up in their faith. One lady (in yellow) who is now a widow, lost her husband in the war. But, she continues to host a group and serves God with all her heart.
