‘The situation is very tense,’ say our team in Ukraine, as the war in Ukraine reaches its fifteenth day. 

‘Our teams are trying to serve as much as they can,’ said a spokesman for the Ukraine Bible Society. ‘While Kherson is still under Russian control, things in Kharkiv have started to improve very slightly. People are carefully going out. More humanitarian aid is coming, although access is still very limited, so there are still significant needs, especially in hospitals.’

He added, ‘The Kyiv team has been working tirelessly to help churches and people, helping with evacuation from the town of Irpin, bringing food and other aid, along with the Bibles.

‘The city is being regularly bombed and our intelligence warns that the enemy is preparing another attempt to seize the city. In Lviv near the Polish border, more and more people are arriving so our team are very busy with supporting volunteers in practical needs and also providing Bibles.

‘Thanks for your prayers and efforts,’ he said. 

You can help reach people in Ukraine (and those escaping) with God’s love. Put the Bible in someone’s hands today.
