How to Help Ukraine
Written by Ryan Brown, Sr. Manager, Digital Marketing for Blue Trust
Ukraine is experiencing a crisis that has affected the world. There are many Christians there right now working to rescue families, protect the vulnerable, and save lives.
I lived and served in Kyiv, Ukraine for three years with a Christian charitable organization that is on the ground there today, so our CEO, Nick Stonestreet, asked me to share a few words with you about what is happening there, and how Christian churches and charities are responding, as well as how we can help.

Romans 8:35-39
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: ‘For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Thank you for your prayers and support!
