Ukraine is our priority mission focus. We've been actively working in Ukraine since 1999, first in Crimea, then Eastern Ukraine and now throughout the entire country, often sending a team in 1.5 to 2 year intervals. We currently partner with a Ukrainaian charity called "Clear Vision" which provides glasses free of charge to Ukrainians. In the past we have done ministry in seniors homes, orphanages, churches, church plants, and addiction recovery homes. Since 2017 we have also provided respite ministry to pastors and their spouses from the occupied territory and Crimea.
With the ongoing war caused by Russia invading Ukraine on February 24, 2022, we continue to partner with "Clear Vision" in conjunction with Mission Partners International, a canadian charity that we have worked with for the past 8 years. We have shifted our priorities towards getting food, water, and resources into Ukraine to be distributed through various "channels" that have been put in place. Those same "channels" act as a rescue to internally displaced individuals escaping active hot spots. At the same time we sponsor two Ukrainian pastors monthly.
