Thank you very much for kindly filling shoebox gifts They have brought so much joy to people in
Ukraine at an incredibly difficult time Despite continued and unpredictable attacks by Russia in
many areas of the country, the International Aid Trust teams have distributed shoeboxes and
shared their hope in Jesus, God’s greatest gift, to thousands of people whose lives have been
devastated by the war. Click on the link below to read more! Ukraine shoeboxes 2022/23
We are still collecting goods for Ukraine and the neighbouring countries – a list of the goods needed can be found here Ukraine – goods needed
This year, which has been challenging in so many ways, we are focussing on the words; “Light shines in the darkness” take n from chapter 1 verse 5 of John’s Gospel.
Please listen to my old friend Slavic Kravchuck. Bishop of Nikalieav Region Churches on the Black Sea coast. The last time I preached there we celebrated his churches 25th birthday. It was special.
When he was talking to me on the phone he was so very excited.
“Big miracle revival brother !!! In May we were down to 170 people in our church because many young families left as refugees for the west.
Then we began giving out your aid and water and preaching to the victims. Next Sunday 400 people came, Sunday after 1000 came, next Sunday 2000 came, then 4000 ! Last Sunday we had 5000 people and 2000 people at our mid week prayer meeting, so many salvations. Praise God!
We can’t fit them all in the church it was built for 1500 people ! There is even no place for pastors to sit. Thank you all so much”

A huge thank you for all your support for the people of Ukraine at this difficult time.
Your kind practical and financial donations mean that we have now sent 10 (!) articulated lorries full of desperately needed aid, some to our team in Ukraine, some to our trusted Christian partners working with refugees in surrounding countries. It’s wonderful to see this aid arriving and being quickly distributed – and the dedication of our teams on the ground to serving those in need, despite the dangers to themselves.
Here is a video update from Rev. Bernard Cocker, (CEO and Founder) filmed at the warehouse a few days ago https://youtu.be/Dbmy_lSr31s
Here is a link to an email update with more detail about the current situation https://bit.ly/3usqv5v
We continue to need donations of food, medical supplies, toiletries, shoes and sleeping bags. We are working hard to sort and pack all the clothes and bedding already donated, so ask for no more of these items for another couple of weeks please.
Thank you very much to everyone who has volunteered at our warehouse recently in response to the Ukraine Appeal, your sorting, packing, stacking, brewing up etc. is greatly appreciated! Here are a few photos from the past few weeks and please follow this link to hear what some of our volunteers have to say: https://youtu.be/Qo8ieUaxN10
Would you like to join the team? We will be continuing to sort and send aid for as long as needed, Monday to Friday 10am – 4pm, We also welcome groups from churches, businesses etc. please email julie@internationalaidtrust.org.uk or text Julie on 07502 055109 if you would like to come along.
Thank you for your prayer, children and staff from our Living Hope School in India and New Hope School in Sierra Leone have also been praying for their brothers and sisters in Ukraine.
Please pray with us for peace and an end to the war, please pray for God to sustain our teams in Ukraine as they serve, please pray for all who have had to leave their homes, for all sheltering underground, may they know God’s love and help.
Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful support of our Ukraine appeal! Please could we ask for your help tomorrow (Friday 18th March)? We are loading a truck with a short turnaround time, so please can you only drop off aid if you have already booked in?
Also we are still working through sorting and packing clothing and bedding already donated, so we are not able to accept any more at the moment, but we will share on social media when we are.
Thank you very much again, all the team in the UK and in Ukraine really appreciate your generosity and encouragement 😊
Here is the truck sent from our warehouse to Moldova, unloaded by Pastor Victor and team at their warehouse in Chisinau. They have already begun distributing this aid. We praise God for the team in Moldova and all our other friends in Eastern Europe working hard to support those affected by the war in Ukraine.
More trucks are on the road, on the way to their destinations and we will post updates and photos as we receive them.
