Baptists on Mission: Ukraine Crisis Update
When Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24 of this year, Baptists on Mission began mobilizing immediately. Currently we’re working with refugees in Poland, Moldova, Hungary and inside Ukraine with internally displaced people, particularly in the western part of Ukraine. Working with HBAid, BOM volunteers are also working at a warehouse distributing supplies and ministering to 100,000 internally displaced people in a region of Ukraine that is near the border with Hungary. We are also setting up a mobile kitchen to provide hot meals as well as sending medical teams to help in that region of Ukraine. If you would like to give to help with these relief efforts make checks payable and send to Baptists on Mission, PO Box 1107, Cary, NC 27512 and designate for Ukraine Crisis or go online to give at https://baptistsonmission.org/ukraine-crisis.
