Mission Work in Ukraine: Report from the Balta Region, Odessa Oblast
Thanks to God’s grace and your support, the IMOCE team in Ukraine continues to serve people, share the Gospel, and carry out works of faith. The “IMOCE Happy Time” Christian Development Center, located in the city of Balta, operates actively in various directions to support the local population and those who find themselves in challenging life situations.
Key Areas of Service at the Center
The “Happy Time” Center provides assistance to displaced individuals, those facing difficult circumstances, and offers children’s clubs where kids can learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment. One recent event was the Harvest Festival, where children learned to thank God for His many blessings.
Children’s Clubs
One of the most popular clubs is the cooking club, where children can learn culinary skills. This is especially valuable for those who may not have the opportunity to cook at home. Another program, the Sewing Course, nurtures creativity and skill development. The center also has an art workshop, which serves as a helpful tool for working with children. Through art, children have the opportunity to open up, share their feelings, and build strong connections with their mentors.
Ministry for the Elderly and People with Disabilities
The elderly and people with disabilities are not forgotten either. Each month, they receive essential support, including hygiene supplies like adult diapers. During visits, they also hear God’s Word and receive spiritual encouragement.
We are deeply grateful to everyone supporting this ministry, as your help makes it possible for us to serve, support, and assist those who need it most. May the Lord richly bless you!
