Hello, friends, Ukraine is on the line! Thanks to God, we are alive and able to serve!

You may have heard from the news that we are currently being heavily bombarded with rockets and shahids, and Ukraine’s energy system is under attack. As a result, many cities are experiencing power outages. But we have a wonderful promise: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NIV

Thank you for your help and support! We want to share about our work in the Odessa region, in the city of Balta. Recently, the mission opened the Happy Time Development Center for children and teenagers, as well as a volunteer center to assist those in need.

Thanks to God, you, and the team, the studio and clubs for children are already up and running.

The English Club is a place for learning the English language. The “World by Hands” art workshop is gaining momentum. Children develop their talents, skills, and get acquainted with God’s love. An interactive space for teenagers is a great place where they can develop communication skills, learn to adapt, work in teams, and ask questions they want answers to. Teenagers absorb information like sponges, so it’s a field where we need to work diligently for the Kingdom of Christ.

The Happy Time Development Center also serves as an IMOCE volunteer center to assist those in need. Once a week, we distribute goods and products. Charity services are also held in the Balta district, in villages, where we select the most needy families requiring assistance. In Ukraine, many people find themselves in poverty, receiving minimal income and barely surviving. Special attention is given to children from such families.
