Items were delivered to an orphanage in the Ivano-Frankivsk oblast. Inna (white sweater) is a member of the Ivano-Frankivsk congregation and is working as the contact with this children\u2019s facility.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With my recovery from my knee replacement, I have not had the time to follow my usual schedule. Having passed the two-week post-op point, things are beginning to settle back into the routine. During these two weeks of post-op inactivity, we loaded a container for Ukraine and another for Panama. Both of these were loaded out of the Montgomery, AL warehouse. We have received two truckloads from CURE and expect another two truckloads this Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collections are still ongoing in Florence, AL, and Phoenix, AZ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pleas for assistance continue to be received. All involved in our operations are in constant motion. The reports below reveal the amazing good that is produced by the hard work that has been constant since February 24!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to search for support that will allow us to continue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Shipping seagoing containers loaded with critically needed relief supplies for the children, widows, elderly, and hospitals in Ukraine\u2014we currently have containers of family buckets, medical supplies, and food that need to ship but we cannot schedule because of funding issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Provide funding to help secure food for the children displaced by Russia\u2019s evil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear brothers and sisters, greetings to all of you. We thank God for another month of our lives that we have lived through.

We thank all of you for your prayers and your help. Without you we would not survive in this horrible reality. We do not know the outcome of the war but we know for sure that we are with the Lord and in His holy Church.

Thus, we continue preaching the Word of God and worshipping with the Church on Sunday from 11:00 to 1:00 p.m. Our Bible class is on Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. We study the Book of Genesis and have come to chapter 6.

Our men serve the Lord\u2019s Supper and pray for the cup and the bread. We now have two brothers from Kramatorsk, Maxim and Olexiy, who also are involved in worship.

On Friday, we have a general online prayer meeting and do it in-person when there\u2019s no air raid alerts.  We have heard sirens very often recently, which impacts the emotional state of people.

We try to support and encourage all those that we know. We help children\u2019s homes and people in need with food and clothes. Giving out food we also give out Bibles so that people would read it and turn to God for salvation.

Big thanks to generous brothers for the money to install heating in the church building. Heating is already on! We have tried the wood heater, which we bought with the help of brother Bill Wharton and the Church where he attends. Thanks to brother John Kachelman and his team for their hard work and help.

Big thanks to you, our dear Christian family. We thank God for you and your families, for your children, your country. We ask God to save you from any kind of war that comes when people become indifferent to God\u2019s Word.

In Christian love to all of you, <\/p>\nIvan & Svitlana<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dear brothers and sisters,

Greetings to you from Ivano-Frankivsk\u200b and the Church here.

We are fine, thank God. We continue doing what we can working together with you in God’s vineyard. We feel your prayers and support. Big thanks to all involved with humanitarian shipments. With that assistance we can support those that are on the home front as well as those on the front line. Thank you for standing with us. May God keep you safe.

Dear brother John, big thanks to our brothers and sisters who sent money for help in construction. The boiler is finished installed. So now we have alternative heating we can use when there’s no electric power. Boiler is working!! Thanks!!<\/p>\nRuslan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
