One of the key goals of this trip was the Children of Victory project, which led to an inspiring meeting in Kovel! Together with parents, teenagers, city officials, and the team from Salvation Church, we spent an incredible day filled with inspiration and new opportunities.

The children learned about the Children of Victory program and the unique journey to the U.S. that awaits them in June. They completed application forms, practiced their presentation skills, and took another step toward making their dream a reality!

A special thanks to the Salvation Church team for their warm hospitality and delicious refreshments, and to the Kovel city administration for their support and cooperation.

While in Kovel, we also visited the Alley of Glory—a heartbreaking reminder of the many lives lost. The weight of this war is immeasurable…

In Odesa, we had a meaningful gathering with teenagers who had traveled to the U.S. in 2024. The meeting was filled with memories, encouragement, and a deep sense of connection.

In Oleksandriia, we reunited with a group of children who had just returned from their four-week stay in Seattle as part of Children of Victory. Their experiences were life-changing, but most importantly, they encountered God in a profound way.

Additionally, a crucial press conference was held at the Oleksandriia city administration, attended by the mayor, his deputies, and Anatoliy Petrovych. The teenagers shared their impressions and emotions about the upcoming trip, while the mayor engaged with them, asking about their expectations and thoughts.

We are deeply grateful to the Oleksandriia administration for their openness to dialogue with young people and for supporting such vital initiatives.

Finally, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you—for your prayers, your generosity, and your unwavering support! God is working through each of us for Ukraine!
