I imagine you have seen the news headlines about the situation in Eastern Europe. With Ukrainians experiencing armed conflict, the UNHCR (the U.N. refugee agency) estimates as many as 5 million refugees from Ukraine could flood neighboring countries. This crisis adds to the 84 million people already displaced worldwide. The number is staggering. My calendar reminds me that today is International Women’s Day, and I think of the fact that about half of refugees are women and girls. And this is true of the refugees fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. Please take time to pray today for these women who often experience sexual violence, child marriage, and significant health concerns. I know you care for these women who suffer in silence and stigma while yet still caring for their families. Together we’ve been serving the people of Eastern Europe for nearly 30 years. It’s where Unto® got its start. We can’t leave them without help now. Rush Survival Kits to People Affected by the Conflict in Ukraine We are partnering with European Cru staff teams by helping to provide humanitarian supplies to people affected by the armed conflict in Ukraine. The teams have begun distributing food and other critical aid to refugees crossing borders at Romania, Poland, and Moldova. With the number of refugees increasing, they will need more supplies to meet people’s immediate needs for things like food, water, clothing, and more. At the right time they’ll also share about the eternal hope of Jesus. It takes just $35 to send a Survival Kit, packed with lifesaving critical aid, to someone struggling to survive — and share the eternal hope of Jesus. With conflict on the rise will you help today? Your gift will make a real, tangible difference in the lives of people affected by the situation in Ukraine as well as for people in other tough places.
