Stories from the Field

Svetlana was displaced from her home in the town of Avdiivka, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine after her apartment was destroyed and she lost everything she owned.

About a year ago, after leaving for a city more than an hour away from her home, Svetlana came to our church (One of the many churches in the Generations Church Network in Ukraine). She started reading the Bible and began helping in the church. We are thankful that she found peace with God and peace for herself through our ministry!

Pastor Eugene from the church Svetlana is attending said:

Dear friends, we thank you for your support which has enabled us to help many people affected by the war and give them hope in Christ. Almost every day our church helps elderly people, families with children, displaced people, and those suffering from the war. Over the summer we helped 145 displaced people with hygiene kits, and 90 adults and 30 children with food packages. We preach the Gospel and give Christian literature. 

Svetlana is just one of the hundreds who have heard the Good News of Jesus through the ministry of this church. Because of your partnership with Summit Missions International through prayers and support, the seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are being scattered in Eastern Europe through our many partners.
