Current Aid and What's To Come

Thanks for reaching out. It is great to know that you guys are there. Because of you guys, we are able to do what we are doing right now. Our supply chain into the interior and stemming to Kiev region and Mariupol oblast is productive and reaching the right people, I believe. Needs range from clothes and food to medical supplies for soldiers and civilians, needs for invalids left behind who are unable to leave, and basic needs for life. We are also able to help with a steady flow of refugees who are either staying in camp with us and waiting to go back home, or finding a place here to transition on to another place.

We are not simply meeting them at the border, but they are being directed to us through contacts within Ukraine. We are going into Ukraine at least two, sometimes three, times a week with supplies and or bringing people out. We have always worked on the the principle that we will go as far as we can with what we have and then when we are out, we will take that as the sign that we either are done or we wait for more support.

If this war drags on, there will be continued needs and we will use this principle to try to meet those needs as we can and as we are able. Unless I miss my guess, in just a short while, the first wave of goodwill will pass, war fatigue will set in internationally, and people will get tired of need…and about that time the needs will increase and be greater. For that reason, I will be grateful if I can reach out to you when special needs arise and if you are prompted to help, we’d be very glad. It is rare when people take the initiative to ask if there is more they can do to help, and so I am especially thankful to you. Many blessings as you serve there in that part of His Kingdom.
