In the last few weeks we have been supporting our friend Pastor Pavlo and his church in the L'viv region. Since the start of the war, like so many, they have turned their church into a hostel and have been caring for 50-60 refugees per night. Many people from the church are also hosting refugees in their own homes. After staying 1-2 nights, Pavlo and his team are then co-ordinating transport for people to get over the border into Poland.
Pavlo told us: 'As I coordinate these efforts, even though it's often very stressful and very sad to see the devastation that enemy makes to our country and people, I also rejoice seeing God's Kingdom at work - seeing how church can truly be Jesus' hands and feet, how each member of the body does his small thing, that together make a beautiful picture of love overcoming death and fear! And that includes all of you - who are supporting us spiritually with your prayers. God gives us strength and energy to serve; supporting and resourcing us financially, providing all necessary things and allowing us to focus on people and meeting them in their grief and meeting their daily needs for food and shelter. So thank you so much for doing your part and it's a privilege for our church to partner with you in that.'
