“Many leaders we meet are carrying deep strain. Some of our most meaningful moments are with pastors and leaders who need refreshing. As we pray and encourage them, stress and heaviness lift—and they leave strengthened, peaceful, and clear about their next steps. We support and counsel leaders who are advancing the gospel in powerful ways such as Pastor Vlad, a young Belarusian leader and former political prisoner, escaped to Poland three years ago and planted a church. Since then, two more churches have been established, with another growing from a thriving home group. These communities are reaching Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Poles—especially young adults. Our partner churches in Ukraine are actively engaged in street and village evangelism. We serve alongside them—strengthening vision, refreshing leaders, and fueling passion for Jesus. We also stay closely connected with churches in Poland and Germany, where Ukrainian pastors are planting and growing new communities.”

“That you may walk worthy of the Lord… bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.” — Colossians 1:10

“Your prayers strengthen us—spiritually and physically—as we serve on the field. Your financial support helps send us, covering key needs like travel. Each time we return, the Lord connects us with more pastors and churches, expanding the reach of His love and Kingdom influence (including business and government leaders). Looking ahead we will continue serving Eastern Europe with strength and wholehearted love for Jesus, with a special focus on the Ukrainian diaspora. Along with discipleship training that supports the pastor’s vision—equipping church leaders, strengthening congregations, and raising the next generation to walk in maturity and purpose. Prayer workshops help communities steward what God is stirring—building strong prayer foundations so renewal can grow and endure, even in the aftermath of war and corruption, while awakening through compassion brings personal ministry to leaders and churches through healing prayer, restoration, and a fresh revelation of the Father’s heart.”

“Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand…” — Mark 1:4141.
