Dear Friends and Supporters,
Ukraine is enduring the harshest winter in 20 years. Temperatures have fallen to –19°C, and millions are without heating after deliberate attacks on the nation’s energy infrastructure.
Families are living in dark, freezing apartments. Elderly and disabled people are trapped in high-rise buildings with no lifts. Children are sleeping in coats and blankets. Homes are flooding as frozen pipes burst.
This is not simply a humanitarian crisis, it is a test of compassion.
“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:26)
The need Is urgent. Freezing conditions are expected to continue for at least another ten days. Every night without heat places the most vulnerable at serious risk.
How You Can Respond Today:
- Give generously — as God leads you. Every gift matters.
- Share this appeal with your church, small group, and Christian networks.
- Pray earnestly for protection, warmth, endurance, and peace for the people of Ukraine and for those serving on the ground.
To donate now, visit the donation page on our website: Make a Donation – International Aid Trust please use reference ‘Ukraine Winter’
Your gift becomes an answer to prayer, your donation will help provide:
- Generators to restore power to homes and shelters
- Gas heaters so families can survive the cold
- Power banks and inverters for light and communication
- Warm clothing and bedding for those sleeping in freezing homes
These supplies allow families not only to survive—but to hold onto hope. Putin seeks to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people through suffering. But the Church stands in the gap.
“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:18)
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ in this moment.
Blessings, love and thanks
