Evacuating Families - Ukraine Crisis Story

We are so thankful for our partners in Ukraine who are searching for men, women, children, and families to rescue and bring to safety.

Here is an update from a pastor in Ukraine: In God's mercy, we were able to evacuate two families from under the shelling in the city. It was an actual miracle of God that we found these people, who were sitting in a basement. They had no electricity, no water, no gas. We looked for them in the basement using a flashlight. When we found them, they cried and praised God for their rescue. The curfew was beginning and so we had to spend the night there and experience the full horror of bombardment. In the morning, when we planned to leave, they started a mass shooting from a military helicopter, glass was scattered from the windows, the building shook, but we were fortunate to pack 13 people into two light cars along with a little bit of stuff. We fled the village and transported them to our town, about 500 kilometers away. Praise God for these rescued families.

Please join us in prayer for our partners as they continue to go into harm's way to make these rescues.
