Ukraine Outreach 2022

We are in close contact with Vlad, our DPM Ukraine outreach worker. He reported on the war situation today:

"I would like to thank the DPM and all the brothers who provide amazing prayer support to the Ukrainian people. Only on Derek Prince's FB page, many thousands of brothers from all over the world express their prayerful support. We are receiving testimonies from our soldiers that they are experiencing unusual inner encouragement. God bless you all very much!

We have a lot of refugees in our town and our area - they are settled in schools and educational institutions. Residents of our city collected food and clothes for the refugees several days in advance, but what will happen in a few days is unknown. Sunday, I preached at our church service about trusting in the Lord. After the sermon, there was a very modest marriage celebration - even without the festive clothes of the bride and groom. They were engaged before the war and were supposed to get married in May, but decided to do it right now. We just don’t know what will happen.  

I also spoke to the deacon of our church, who also heads the regional aid headquarters in our town and district. They do a lot of work with refugees and territorial defense assistance. They feed and keep many refugees warm and take care of accommodation problems. Almost all institutions and factories of the city have stopped and many people are working for defense and helping refugees. The year 2014 is repeating when we received many refugees from the war in the east. Today again, the roads are full of refugees and the country is close to a transport collapse.

Meanwhile, the Polish people truly have opened their hearts and their homes to refugees from Ukraine. Poles line up near the Polish-Ukrainian border to take the refugees home and share their house or apartment with them, mainly Ukrainian women, children and elderly people, as the (young) men stay behind to fight.

We thank the Lord for all the organizations that are delivering humanitarian aid goods and financial support. We don’t know what the future holds. Within two or three days, the moment of truth should come and the key phase in the war will be decided. If the Lord disposes of your heart, then you can accumulate funds in order to transfer them immediately after the war - then we will definitely need funds and then it will be possible to receive it for sure.
 
But for sure, the most important thing has already been done - thanks for your prayer and moral support!
 
 Blessings!
