"Our children and teenagers haven’t had so much laughter and fun since we left our homes in Ukraine"
Donnerstag 07 Juli 2022 11:33 Many Ukrainian mothers and grandmas came to our team after the outreach, and they had tears in their eyes, as they were trying to articulate their appreciation and gratitude.
We keep supporting Ukrainian refugees across Europe, and more projects are being undertaken with your help, your prayers, and your donations:
Delivering food packages to refugees in Spain weekly, sending buses with supplies to an orphanage in Ukraine, partnering with World Without Orphans Europe, opening a Family Center in Krakow to help Ukrainian women and children, and supporting refugees in many places of Europe through the work of our ECMers.
One example of the latter is the wonderful work ECMers are doing in Bulgaria with Ukrainian refugees, from giving food and basic products to families to organising outreaches and events for children and teenagers.
Read their last report and watch the smiles of the little ones in the videos below.
"Last month we had a powerful outreach in partnership with Athletes in Action, the Ukrainian Church in Burgas, and several other local churches.
Many mothers and grandmas came to our team after the outreach, and they had tears in their eyes, as they were trying to articulate their appreciation and gratitude.
They said, “We just feel loved and really cared for by people we have never met before. Our children and teenagers haven’t had so much laughter and fun since we left our homes in Ukraine."
The Ukrainian church is growing fast and they are now in a pickle trying to find a large enough and affordable place to rent for their congregation."
