"... for in you the fatherless find compassion" Hosea14:3
Dear friends,
It’s been six weeks of the Russian war against Ukraine. The latest videos and testimonies of the brutality of Putin’s liberators are horrific. How can humans do this to other humans? Bodies scattered on the roads shot in their heads, mass graves, raped women and girls, were all discovered in towns after the Russian military left the Kiev region. It is impossible to imagine what so many families are living through. Mariupol, Irpen, Chernihiv, Sumy and many other cities are still without electricity, water or heat. Some families were rescued, thank God, but many are still there. Families in the occupied towns, or close to the war zones are begging to get out.
Our drivers made few trips to the Luhansk region this week. The reports that have come out say that the Russian army is regrouping and will hit the regions in eastern Ukraine hard. With the brutal behavior of Putin’s army in Bucha, Irpen and Mariupol, many people in Luhansk, Donezk, Zaporizhya, Kharkiv and other Eastern regions are in a panic and are trying to get out. Please pray for the people and our drivers.
Few other teams drove to Trostyanets, in the Sumy region, a city that was liberated from the Russian “liberators” a few days ago. We brought them food, medicine, diapers, and baby food. The people in Trostyanets were very grateful that they were not forgotten. They welcomed the Ukrainian army with hugs and tears.
There are so many people that need help that there is no time to rest. The occupied cities need survival food and supplies. Our teams are working day and night, driving to occupied cities to bring food, water, first aid supplies, thermoses, camping stoves, and wood burning cookers just to help those people survive. Our drivers made many trips to Chernihiv, where the Russian army tried to encircle the city like Mariupol, to bring them supplies and to get as many people out as we can.
By God’s grace, the volunteers in Ukraine are doing an amazing job, many times risking their own lives, but always willing to go and help. Besides our drivers, many are cooking meals, sewing uniforms, knitting hats, digging fox holes, and fixing cars. Our part is to pray and make sure they have the means to do just that. We received a request from the hospital in Dripro. They are asking for help with surgical instruments. We also received requests from churches housing refugees, asking for more cots or beds.
Thank you all for supporting Little Lambs Ministry. Because of your support, we were able to purchase 4 vans (2 in Ukraine, and 2 in Germany). We have shipped 36 tons of food, medicine, diapers, camping cots, sleeping bags, baby food and hygiene supplies from Germany. We were able to help hospitals, orphanages, churches and other volunteer groups who drive all over Ukraine to deliver food and bring people to safety. Housing and lodging is still a big problem, so we are adding 3 more cabins to our camp. We are hoping to ship more beds or camping cots from Germany.
Thank you all for your generous support and your prayers! As Ukrainians face such violence and unimaginable losses, we need to continue to do all we can to help these families. Please pray how you can help! Thank you for your love and support.
