Help Ukrainians Impacted by Conflict
Nazarene churches and leaders are showing compassion and hospitality to communicate the presence of God in a time of upheaval in Ukraine.More than one million people have fled the country as refugees.
This week Nazarene volunteers welcomed Ukrainians at the border of Poland, providing food and supplies, and helping people purchase bus and train tickets so that they could travel further into the country. Others located safe lodging for mothers and children who arrived after a long journey.
Meanwhile, Nazarene pastors in Ukraine are seeking shelter for their own families while they also work for the safety and provision of others.
How You Can Help: Please pray for people experiencing firsthand the crisis in Eastern Europe. Pray for those seeking shelter within Ukraine, those relocating to other countries, and those grieving the losses they have already suffered. Pray for those who are most vulnerable, including children, senior adults, individuals with disabilities, and those with health conditions who need medication. Pray for church leaders and churches responding to the needs around them. Ultimately, let us pray for peace. To send a prayer or note of encouragement, go to ncm.org/pray.
Churches and individuals around the world can provide support through the NCM Ukraine Crisis Response Fund – Eurasia Region. Donations will go toward emergency support associated with transportation, shelter, food, water, and essential supplies. To support churches as they care for people within Ukraine and those traveling from Ukraine to neighboring countries, give today: ncm.org/Ukraine.
