Thousands are seeking refuge in Ukrainian churches.

housands of displaced people are flooding Ukraine’s Adventist churches seeking safety. Our members are doing everything possible to meet their physical and spiritual needs, but the demand is overwhelming.

Ukraine’s Adventist Mission director, Leonid Rutkovskiy, has requested assistance. “All our pastors have stayed in Ukraine, and everyone is working and doing what they can do,” he said. “But we are almost running out of personal and church savings.”

You can help bolster our members’ ministry by supporting the Hope in Crisis fund, an initiative created by Adventist Mission after the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. The first funds helped send counselors to comfort people on the streets of New York City. The initiative also assisted Haitians after the earthquake in 2010.

One hundred percent of your gifts will go to the front line, where they are urgently needed. If funding needs are met, additional donations will be directed to other emergency relief projects.
