Formula for Babies - Ukraine Crisis Story

Please pray for the mothers of infants and children in Ukraine. Here is an update from a seminary partner:

Please accept our most sincere gratitude for your generous help and constant prayers for peace in Ukraine. Each day of life is a gift from the Lord, so we thank Him that we are living, moving and breathing!! Our evangelistic ministry continues. Though our care and love for refugees, we are thrilled to see how God is working in their hearts. I am happy that in a conflict zone, right now, there are people ministering in Christ’s name. God led me to these people. During the week we took them humanitarian aid and they passed it out to help people.

In the last few days, we have taking 200 people from a conflict zone. Praise God! Yesterday I received a call from a volunteer. He works in a maternity hospital. He told me that there is a great need for formula for babies. This is especially important for babies 0 to 12 months. He told me that many mothers in the conflict zone, who have recently had babies are not producing milk. It is connected to the nervous system. So, there is a great need for baby food and formula. We purchased as much as we could find. It was not easy. There is not much available in the stores. The factory that makes this food has closed so there is not much formula. So we called around to the nearby cities to see who could buy some and get it to us. Today, I purchased an entire car of supplies and tomorrow we will again deliver it to the conflict zone. Pray for us as we drive and for our ministry!

When God First Widened My World: Remembering Urbana 1996 I still remember the winter air. It was December 1996, and I was a junior at Oakland University in Rochester Michigan, serving as a small group leader with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship—the ministry that had profoundly shaped my faith since my freshman year. I was growing spiritually, serving faithfully in my local church, and stepping into leadership on campus. Attending Urbana felt like the natural next step. Urbana only happened every three years, and I knew that once I graduated, I might miss the chance altogether. My church believed in that moment enough to cover the cost. They entrusted me—and my campus minister—with a van full of college students, driving from Detroit to Champaign-Urbana during the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s. I had heard the stories: thousands of students, passionate worship, a clear call to live fully for Jesus. What I encountered exceeded every expectation. A Campus Taken Over by the Kingdom Buses poured in from every direction, unloading students onto a snow- covered campus. Dorm rooms filled. Cafeterias buzzed. The entire university seemed overtaken—not by noise or spectacle, but by a quiet, collective hunger for God. For the first time in my life, I met students from places far beyond Michigan— Harvard, Loyola, Wheaton. My world was expanding in real time. I don’t remember every speaker or session. What I do remember is the unmistakable clarity of the invitation. God was bigger than I had ever imagined. Not just personal. Not just local. He was King of the nations. And there were people—millions of them—who had never heard His name. The question was simple, but it felt weighty: Would I commit my life, in whatever way God asked, to the Great Commission?
