Pastor Yuri writes:

“The interruption of the energy supply has put us in a state of emergency. People are left without gas, heating and hot water. With God’s help we conducted Christmas programs for children where 140 new families came for the first time and are interested in joining our on-going Christian programs. We need heating in order to keep our ministry going. Autonomous heating is essential for us as our winters are cold. For this we need a 250 kw boiler, and a 40-50 kw generator. We don’t want to lose the new families that started coming, as we want to minister Christ to them that they may be born again.

We are grateful for any help you can give us!”

Saving Lives in Ukraine

In Lviv, Pastor Misha’s church provides outreach ministries to destitute Roma (Gypsy) families living in tents in the forest, men and women addicted to drugs and alcohol, and young boys, ages 11-16, held in the Gorodok Juvenile Prison. The church offers foundational Christian education and humanitarian aid to destitute families in the community. As a result, many have opened their hearts to God and accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.

In Kyiv, Pastor Tyoma continues his evangelistic football ministry, believing it is vital to bring hope to young men. Participating in a Christ-centered sport and competitions keeps them thinking positive and prevents them from drifting into despair. He offers the teams prayer, encouragement and Bible studies. Many young soldiers, former teammates, call him from the frontlines in desperation, asking for prayer. We are thankful to God that many of these soldiers have given their lives to Jesus while in the trenches!

In Nikopol, Pastor Roman and his wife Inna invest what they call “bits of goodness” in their community. Pastor Roman’s church feeds 90 children daily. For most, it is the only food they get. Through the church’s youth club “Smile,” many children have accepted Jesus in their hearts. Looking for the same hope they see in their children’s eyes, their mothers and fathers have now also started attending church.

In some of the worst-hit regions of Ukraine, our partners bring food to families and the elderly, transport people to safety during air raids, provide spiritual and physical care to the suffering, and supply desperate families with heating fuel, generators and small portable cooking units that can be used in homes, churches and bomb shelters.

In Eastern Donbas, husbands, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews are on the frontlines fighting. Many are killed or injured, leaving families devastated.

Pastor A leads a small Chaplain Ministry team of pastors who attend to wounded soldiers and their families, as well as to the families of those killed in action. As a trained doctor and medic, Pastor A has seen the worst of this war as he rescues soldiers at ground zero, carrying the wounded to hospitals and first aid stations. As a pastor, his heart bleeds for the people he sees struggling daily to survive.

Testimony

Michael, a soldier, was stationed in the hottest areas of the frontline. For 15 days, his small group held positions protecting a village from the advancing Russian army. Bombing was intense with no break, day or night. A bomb landed in Michael’s trench, throwing him out. Shrapnel from the bomb hit his legs. He bled heavily and thought he would die. The shelling was so heavy he couldn’t be evacuated to a hospital until the following day. His leg could not be saved.

As Michael waited in the hospital for a prosthetic, the Chaplain Ministry team ministered to Michael, and he accepted Christ as his Savior! He now prays every day and reads the Bible they gave him.

Thousands of soldiers die every month, tens of thousands become disabled. We buy food, medicine, clothes, and hygiene products. With the expansion of the ministry due to increased casualties, we are constantly in desperate need of more supplies. —Pastor A., Eastern Donbas

God is Moving in Eritrea

Once little known to the world, Eritrea made international headlines in 2012 when more than 200,000 people fled a brutal crackdown and a targeted “witch-hunt” against Christians. Under President Isaias Afwerki, the country descended into a reign of terror marked by imprisonments, torture, and executions. In desperation, thousands risked their lives in overcrowded boats—many drowning in the attempt to escape a regime without mercy.

Christianity was once the dominant faith in Eritrea. Today, only a small and courageous remnant remains—many living in hiding, many imprisoned, and all in urgent need of support.

Tragically, a growing chorus of persecuted Eritrean believers is crying out in unison: “We need more Bibles!”

We believe God is calling us to respond to their cry.

By God’s grace and through your generosity, we’ve already delivered more than 1,100 solar-powered audio Bibles to suffering Eritrean Christians—including imprisoned pastors who risk everything for their faith.

But many more are still waiting. Waiting for the comfort, strength, and hope that only God’s Word can bring.

Join us in delivering God’s Word to Eritrea.

Along with these audio Bibles, we also provide financial aid to the families of jailed pastors and other believers suffering for the name of Jesus across the country.

Let’s stand together with our brothers and sisters in Eritrea—bringing light into one of the darkest corners of the world.

Reaching the ‘Unreachable’ with the Truth of Jesus

Today in Iran, Christians continue to face persecution and imprisonment for their faith. Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, millions of Iranians have grown disillusioned with Islam—and many have turned to Christ. As a result, Iran is now home to one of the fastest-growing underground churches in the world. Every day, more Muslims in Iran are choosing to follow Jesus—despite the immense cost of doing so.

Through ICNET satellite TV, we are bringing God’s Word into the safety and privacy of people’s homes in Iran and Afghanistan—broadcasting in the Farsi language. For many, this is the first time they’ve ever heard the Gospel.

Will you join us in carrying the torch of the Gospel to the spiritually hurting in Iran and Afghanistan?

Taking the Good News to the Spiritually Sick

“Reaching the unreached” means sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with people who do not have access to Bibles and amongst whom there is no indigenous community of Believers able to evangelize their own people.

In northern Pakistan, numerous ethnic groups have never heard of the name of Jesus, yet alone read, God’s message of salvation. Because of Islam’s stronghold, over one million people live in spiritual darkness.

Join us in supporting indigenous evangelists who work in some of the spiritually darkest areas of the world where the light of Christ is needed to set the peoples free. Let’s not stop until every Pakistani is reached with the Good News of Jesus!

When you help send a needy child to camp, you not only make it possible for them to experience the dream of a lifetime, but you also ensure that a child receives:

• An education which includes Bible lessons
• A clean, safe environment to play and develop Christian friendships
• An opportunity to participate in organized sports and other fun activities
• Three nutritional meals a day
• The knowledge that they are not alone, but that God, the Creator of the universe, sees them, hears them, and loves them
• An opportunity to repent and pray the sinner’s prayer. Each child will be given an invitation to join a Christian fellowship in the area where they live.

Because of Jesus, these Children are Finding Hope

We believe that Jesus can heal the hearts and minds of these precious little ones.

That is why every summer we provide hurting children with the opportunity to hear about the unwavering love of Jesus – a love that finds us no matter where we live, no matter our circumstances and offers us hope for a future that is bright because of Him.

At camp, kids begin the day with morning devotion and end it with evening Bible studies. During the day the children have a chance to play sports, swim, go boating and hiking – events most have never experienced. They learn important survival skills, as well as practical life lessons, including how to apply Bible principles to life’s sometimes unpredictable challenges!

Your giving is vital to this outreach. Through your partnership and generous donation, Jesus is meeting these little ones in some of the hardest places in the world.

Your love-in-action helps heal many of these precious children!
