It is always an honor and a privilege to partner with devoted brothers and sisters in seeing God’s Kingdom advance.

When God brings people together, He creates opportunities to partner for His Kingdom in ways that reveal His power, love, and joy. We were especially blessed to serve alongside our friends from Alaska - the team from The Crossing Church - who came to a war-torn nation to bring hope, share the Good News, and demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways.

We partnered with a local ministry in the Odesa region that tirelessly serves the community by caring for people with disabilities, ministering to children and teenagers, and regularly providing meals for those in need.
The team served in two ministry areas: a medical clinic outreach and the construction of a gym at a local church.

During those three days, we were able to serve more than 120 patients. Each person heard the Good News and received not only medical care, but also prayer and encouragement. Many people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. We continue to pray that they would grow in their faith and devotion to Him.

One of the highlights of the trip was visiting people in their homes - especially those who were unable to come to the clinic because of health issues or because they were caring for someone else.

The woman in purple in the photo raised her grandson and has been caring for her daughter for more than 25 years after complications following childbirth affected her health.
Through all of these hardships, she has remained faithful to Jesus Christ. It was truly an honor to encourage her, pray with her, and support her.

At the same time, the construction team did an amazing job renovating the gym in just five days. The gym is now widely used for children’s programs and also serves as a shelter during attacks. Beyond the practical help they provided, the team was also able to encourage the local community through their testimonies and words of encouragement.

As part of our visit, we went to one of the boarding schools where children come from different backgrounds and home situations. During these visits, we learned that one of the children needs to see a cardiologist for a proper examination and further treatment. It was very important that this was identified at this stage, as it helps prevent more serious health problems in the future.

At the same time, the rest of the team led a children’s program, where the kids had a lot of fun and shared meaningful moments, experiencing the love and hope of Christ.

Here is a testimony from Abby, sharing her experience from the trip:

"God was teaching me through this trip how to let go of fear and trust in/rely on Him more. I am amazed by how open Ukrainian people are to hearing the good news about Jesus! My favorite moment was getting to sing songs with the boarding school children and have fun worshiping Jesus together, even while speaking different languages.

Another really special and impactful part has been sharing this trip with my school students and community back home. The day I returned, my public school students led our class in praying for Ukraine, and every child said the most heartfelt prayer. It is precious to see them leading in faith and how God is working in their lives and building in them Global hearts that desire to reach the world for Jesus."

Summer is approaching, which means the season of kids camps is about to begin! We are actively preparing the program and planning our summer ministry schedule.
To reach even more children with the Gospel and support churches, we need your help - both through prayer and financial support. We are truly grateful for your generous hearts and for your partnership in ministering to the next generation!

This is Daria. She has been serving with us as a full-time missionary for over two years. She is passionate about loving and serving people in practical ways.

When the war began, she moved with her family from her hometown of Kovel and eventually found herself in Sweden. There, she worked, served in a local church, and faithfully sought God’s will for her life. Today, she is back in Ukraine, following God’s call, and serving tirelessly among teens in the Dnipro region.

Having once been saved from suicidal thoughts and rejection, Daria now boldly shares her testimony to bring hope and speak life into young people, discipling and encouraging them in their faith. She faithfully serves in the youth department as well as on the media team and is a great blessing to everyone she encounters.
Humble, hardworking, and noble in spirit, she is a valuable addition to our team.

Please cover her in your prayers and consider partnering with her financially. Your support enables her to continue impacting the next generation for God’s Kingdom.
