This week, the Lubyne region experienced the heaviest attack since the beginning of the war. Dozens of drones targeted the area, damaging infrastructure around the city and leaving destruction within the city itself. By God’s mercy, no lives were lost. Until now, we considered our region to be a safe rear. That is why the attack came as such a shock, filling the night with fear and uncertainty.

In the midst of this, our home has opened its doors to new families fleeing the frontline. Just in the past week, six families arrived under mandatory evacuation orders, bringing the number of people living with us to 33, including 18 children—most of them preschoolers. Among the adults is a man in a wheelchair, women with chronic illnesses, and even a mother recovering from a stroke. Each of them carries the weight of trauma, having endured months under shelling and the constant threat of death.

Our work now is twofold: to provide the basics of shelter and daily life, and to offer spiritual and emotional care. Alongside this, our day program for displaced and vulnerable children continues to operate, giving them a safe place to learn, play, and heal. Today, together with the local “Kovcheg” Church, we launched a three-day Christian children’s camp—a space of joy and hope amidst the heaviness of war.

Construction also continues on the extension to our residential building. Though only a small part remains unfinished, the lack of skilled builders—many of whom have been mobilized to the front—slows progress. Yet our prayer and our effort remain the same: to finish quickly so that more mothers with children from the war zones can find shelter here, instead of being left with no home and no means to rent one.

We trust that God will not leave us. With Him, we will overcome material, financial, and every other obstacle. Thank you to each of you who supports this ministry—you make it possible for us to keep opening our doors, comforting the broken, and giving children a place to feel safe again.
