“Shellfire shakes eastern Ukraine”, “‘Very high’ risk Russia will invade Ukraine within days”, “US: Russia ‘seeking excuse’ to invade Ukraine.” Just a few headlines that we can read on news sites over the past few days. In short: the situation in Ukraine is getting out of hand.
Of course this has a great impact on the work of Christians for Israel in Ukraine. That is why we are issuing this video update! In this update you will hear from several members of the Christians for Israel Ukraine team: Koen Carlier, Nataliya Krishanovski, Alina Gryadchenko.
Looking to the future
Our priority now is to continue to pack and distribute food parcels. Since January our team has distributed 5,000 food parcels and our goal is to distribute 5,000 more very soon. In addition, we are constantly monitoring the situation at the airports so that the Jewish people who are planning to leave can actually go to Israel.
We are strengthened by the knowledge that the Mighty One of Israel holds everything in His hand. As Corrie ten Boom so beautifully put it:
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
