Last Monday, February 24, marked the three-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These past three years have been beyond heartbreaking for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters. But since day one you have been a source of God’s love to those who have been affected.
Your prayers have empowered our Ukrainian partners to provide critical services to the most vulnerable children and families impacted by war. In fact, your prayers have helped:
• Families and Children Heal: More than 91,000 children and families have received psychological aid and counseling, helping them heal from the unimaginable trauma they have experienced, and giving them their sense of stability back.
•Deliver Essential Aid:Hundreds of thousands of families have received urgent humanitarian aid: food, clothing, and medicine, ensuring they have the basics they need to survive.
• Rescue Children: You continual prayers have been a part of the effort ofrescuing 693 children from Russian abduction and reuniting them with their families.
Your prayers gave hope when it was needed the most. Our partners continue to help reunite families, provide aid, and rescue and evacuate children and families from combat zones and Russian-controlled territories. And your prayers have played a key role!
Nikolai Kuleba, a trusted partner of AFFEO for more than 12 years, said, “Thanks to the support of AFFEO…families who have endured pain and separation receive psychological and spiritual support, rebuild relationships, and discover the power of faith. Together, we help people find safety, healing, and a fresh start, bringing hope even in the darkest times.”
As we continue to pray for God’s peace, we remain steadfast in our mission, knowing that with you praying by our side, together we can continue to protect and care for Ukraine’s most vulnerable children and families. Please also join us in prayer that that a just and durable peace would return to this land.
Thank you so very much for your faithfulness, and the difference you are making in so many lives!
