Supplies Going In, People Coming Out - Ukraine Crisis Story

Supplies going in and people coming out of Eastern Ukraine is the "new normal" for our ministry partners in Ukraine. Here is an update from two church partners working together in Ukraine:

We accept migrants from the east of Ukraine who go to the west of Ukraine. This is approximately 150-200 people per day. Every day, 3-4 cars full of help go to Kyiv, from there they return back with people who were evacuated.

In the last few days, more and more fighter planes are flying over us. Ukrainian military equipment is moving more and more near the highway. But despite this, we continue to serve and help people. These two days were hard work. We received a whole car of help and packed it into 150 packages. We also bought grain, oil, groceries and packed 16 bags for families with children with disabilities, large families, and pregnant mothers. Also, today we handed over to our local military battalion food packages for their families. According to them, this is a great support for their families and children who do not see their fathers. That is, we distributed these packages to families whose husbands serve in the army.

In the new church, we are having difficulty paying the rent for the church premises. We were very grateful for the help in our ministry and help in paying for the rent of the premises! Bless you!

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?
