This Christmas, our church youth team has joined together with one simple, heartfelt mission: to bring warmth, hope, and the love of Jesus to children in Ukraine who are facing the unimaginable. Many of these children are orphans, or their parents are far away on the front lines. Entire families are living through the cold winter months with no electricity and no heating. Yet even in such darkness, we believe every child deserves to feel seen and loved — especially during Christmas.

This year, we are partnering with a church in Odessa, Ukraine, that faithfully serves children and families who are struggling the most. Together, our goal is to send 500 Christmas gift packages filled with warm hats, thermo cups, cozy socks, lighters, and a few sweet treats to brighten their holiday.

Inspired by the Bible’s call to care for the fatherless and those in need, our desire is to share Jesus’ love in a real, tangible way during this difficult season for Ukrainian people. Your support can help make this winter much warmer and this Christmas a little brighter for children who truly need it. Thank you for standing with us.
