“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…” (Matthew 25:35-6)
RUSSIA’S WAR ON UKRAINE has caused large numbers of casualties. It’s been 3 years since the invasion and the suffering continues to rage on.
Today, millions of Ukrainians are still in need of help. It’s help that you can provide to meet their most urgent needs.
We have witnessed a humanitarian crisis unfolding before our eyes. Russian forces have struck hospitals, destroying them and power grids across the nation, leaving untold thousands of families, mothers and children without electricity in freezing conditions.
They need to stay warm and prepare food.
In life’s most difficult moments, people are often forced to look beyond their own resources for help. They need physical help — food, water, shelter.
Ukrainians continue to desperately need food aid and medical supplies, particularly for those confined in their homes and living in bomb shelters.

Food aid arrives at the logistics centre in Zaporizhzhia, southern Ukraine
Tons of food aid arrives at the Zaporizhzhia city warehouse and logistics centre weekly, substantially supported through GCMM’s Ukrainian emergency aid project.
Russia’s major attack on Ukraine has caused a large number of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure.
This has forced millions of Ukrainians to flee their homes in search of safety, protection, and help. During the first five weeks of the war, more than four million refugees crossed the border into neighbouring countries and many more have been forced to leave their homes inside the country. It’s important to provide surviving residents with the basics: food, water, and warm clothes.
Hundreds of tons of FOOD AID have been delivered to the Donetsk region, including the towns of Slovyansk, Izyum, and Lyman, and villages in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Novoselovka village, Donetsk region. This village belongs to the logistic centres’ regular route and delivers food aid every other week.

Emergency aid fund donations are being used to help alleviate the suffering of people affected by the crisis in Ukraine. Aid continues.
We invite you to join GCMM in support of a ministry approach that follows the pattern found in the book of Nehemiah.
There we see Nehemiah caring for the urgent physical needs of God’s people who are living in the rubble of conflict. Through this miraculous and gracious provision, the people see that “in their time of trouble they cried to you, and you heard them from heaven.” In response, the people open their hearts and return to worship God.
Please consider sponsoring one wood-burning stove for a family in Ukraine. Perhaps it will be the most important gift you can give a family in their time of suffering.
While GCMM has already provided thousands of families with wood-burning stoves for heating and cooking, thousands more are needed.
To provide food for a family for one week costs $50.
To provide one stove for cooking and heating for a family costs $150.
We can help keep Ukrainians warm and alive by providing food and the opportunity to cook on wood-burning stoves for families in the conflict areas.
