James, Lutsk, Ukraine
I am writing to you from Lutsk Ukraine. You know the work we have done and still do. Preaching the Salvation message to people in Ukraine, areas that were occupied or were devastated by this terrible war with Russia. Many have suffered beyond words. The children live in often poor or devastated areas. We want to do something for them during the Holidays like Christmas and New Years. Will you join us? We want to give them a box full of school materials, some candy, good warm socks and for older youth a gift of an inexpensive power bank ( electricity often goes off in many areas). We would like to reach 1000 children and youth 16 or 17 years old and under. A year ago there were few children in these areas and many were sent away. But now many have come back, they want to be home even if there is no roof or maybe they have a tarp for a roof. Many of these villages now have from 10-50 kids / youth. Most of the schools are destroyed and the villages are trying to use something for a school until they can, some day, build another school. About 3000 schools and education buildings are rendered useless from the Russian shelling. A call came from Latvia yesterday, our team there is helping the thousands of Ukrainian refugees, many that are still arriving daily escaping from Russia, where they were deported to after Russia invaded their areas. They too are preparing to minister to the children and youth. They have rented the largest meeting hall in their area and are also preparing the same kind of boxes to give to these young people. Their goal is to reach over a thousand kids. Romania has also sent a request for their Christmas outreach to the Ukrainian refugees in their area. Can we pray for them, can we help them?
