Each cargo van carries several metric tons of food staples, hygiene items, bedding, medical supplies, clothing, and Bibles. Sadly, we have even delivered body bags for the dead. Supplies delivered are faithfully distributed throughout Ukraine by our trusted local ministry partners. EI staff and volunteers have courageously delivered vital supplies into the war-torn nation at great peril. As of the one-year anniversary of the war, EI has driven more than 130 cargo vans into Ukraine delivering more than $925,000 in aid.
Our staff has met wives and children whose husbands and fathers are fighting on the frontlines; some have lost their beloved in battle. We’ve met others who have hidden in bomb shelters for days without food and water before managing to flee. Personal tragedies unfold on a daily basis.
Your prayers for Ukraine are still urgently needed. Pray for peace in Ukraine. Pray for protection over our ministry partners and EI staff and volunteers as we continue to serve the people of Ukraine during this extraordinarily difficult time!
