We interrupt our regular updates for this important news from another vital Cru ministry.
While Karen and I serve primarily with our student ministry in the US, you may not know that Cru is an enormous, global organization that encompasses many ministries. One of them (Unto) serves humanitarian needs in many countries, including Ukraine.
Since 2022, more than 300 churches and non-profits have partnered with Unto to distribute 175,000 food boxes throughout Ukraine. They converted shipping containers into homes for displaced families. They also served refugees, families of those who had been killed, chaplains, and veterans across the war-torn country.
On Aug 28th, our warehouse facility in Ukraine was destroyed in a bombing attack. Everything is gone.
Food, boxes, equipment, tools, generators, vehicles, gospel bracelets and booklets, as well as a large amount of humanitarian aid were all lost.
While none of our people have been reported missing, 29 residents of the neighboring elderly care facility were killed.
This is such recent news that we don’t have a lot more to say. You can imagine all the prayer needs related to those who live and minister there, as well as those they are trying to serve.
If you want to give toward that cause, contact info@unto.com. To follow the latest information, keep an eye out for posts on this Facebook page.
Keep reading to be encouraged by what God has been doing through our work directly with students.
