Impact story
Through the generosity of the BLESS foundation, we were able to provide food, shelter, generators, heaters, water filters, medical devices, and evacuation transportation to 10,000+ Ukrainians in distress. Ukrainian Christians put themselves at significant risk delivering this aid to the front lines of war. As a result, the gospel was displayed in actions and conversations. Every Christian driver with evacuees could share their testimony about having faith in Jesus, their greatest hope. We could specifically designate aid to an Unreached people group, the Roma (Gypsy) people living in the Carpathian mountain region. We provided material aid and distributed the recently released New Testament Bible to Roma in their language, which Ukrainian linguists translated. Your generosity resulted in reaching the nations in a time of great distress. Thank you.
Front-line Testimony
Through the heroic efforts of Taras Pristypa, Volodimir Zapadnyuk, Vitaly Sorokun, and Doug Shepherd, we could effectively get material aid into Ukraine. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was a shock to these church leaders who have operated under the constant threat of missile strikes, energy blackouts, and the strain of emotional trauma. God has given them supernatural strength to serve others amid great trials. They all give credit to God’s sustaining power. They are encouraged knowing the global church sees their trouble and responds with generosity for the gospel’s sake.
