In April 2025, Sarita, Seb, Harry, Christine, Stephen, Tony, and John will journey to eastern Ukraine to deliver desperately needed supplies. As the crisis deepens, they’ll leave their families behind and face countless risks—all to bring hope and relief to those who need it most
A few days ago, Russia carried out one of its most significant air assaults on Ukraine since the war began. The attack targeted power infrastructure, leading to widespread blackouts across the country. As air raid alerts sounded nationwide, everyone was urged to take shelter. Please help us by spreading the word to support these desperate people
KYIV, July 8 (Reuters) - Russia blasted the main children's hospital in Kyiv with a missile in broad daylight on Monday and rained missiles down on other cities across Ukraine, killing at least 36 civilians in the deadliest wave of air strikes for months.
Parents holding babies walked in the street outside the hospital, dazed and sobbing after the rare daylight aerial attack.

Over the past two years, our team poured our hearts into three impactful humanitarian missions in Ukraine.
We journeyed through perilous terrain, braving air attacks and treacherous roads, to deliver aid to over 700 families in remote villages near the frontline. We brought comfort to orphanages, provided essential supplies to women, and brought smiles to children with toys.
Amidst the heartbreak and joy, our resolve remains unwavering. Yes, we will do it again. Yes, we will continue to risk our lives for strangers in need. The innocent souls in Ukraine depend on us, on you. Could you kindly share or forward our new Give-a-Little page with those who echo our compassion? https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/safe-haven-missions-provide-essential-supplies
Just before we left for Târgu Mureș, we heard from “Fight for Freedom” who helps Ukrainians refugees fleeing from the war, about a special-needs orphanage of 90 children that earlier lost their orphanage in Odessa and which needed urgent supplies. So, we quickly picked up and dropped supplies off in Suceava, north-eastern Romania.
Special shout-out to Carl and Sue van Schreven from “Orphans Aid International” for arranging the supplies and contacts, Stefi Micliuc from “Fundația Kiwi Casa Bucuriei” and Stewart Thompson from “Growth for Tomorrow” for their help and incredible driving skills! Especially driving at night time past a stationary truck fleet in the Ukraine that stretched over 25 km! The video was taken during day time. Night time was much more intense!
I pray for your protection as well as all these precious children and people. May they experience God as their good and caring Father, somewhere in their days on earth. God bless you
Thank you so much to all who prayed and supported us in serving the Ukrainian people! We are very grateful for having been given this opportunity. We dropped off the supplies at an organisation called City of Goodness. They currently look after 200 women and children and expect more to arrive. The photos include a few of them including the babies that were orphaned by the war. The people were so grateful!! Note the sandbags in front of the windows are for in case of air strikes. They also have a safety room inside. Thanks again❤️
In 10 hours we’re leaving for Chernivtsi. Won’t have any phone connection whilst in the Ukraine but will make contact afterwards
God bless you with wisdom, understanding and love to be Jesus to all that are in need. God gives His angels charge over you. God makes His face shine upon you and give you peace. Love
Getting ready to pick up the supplies for a group of women and children in the Ukraine.
We’re in Romania at the orphanage. Wonderful to connect with the children ❤️
