Collected in NI, Distributed on the Front Line

Shipment from BBC

This update starts with a 228kg aid shipment from Ballynahinch Baptist Church on it’s way to our partners in Chernivtsi, who will forward it on to churches in the Sumy Oblast.

Ministering in the Sumy Oblast

The Sumy team continued their work across the Sumy Oblast. An evangelistic service was held at a nursing home in Okhtyrka, where 137 people lived. The team shared God’s Word and distributed Tena pads.

Another Sumy team held six church services in Kamyanka, Romashkove, two locations in Chernatske, Peremoha, and Velyka Bereza, preaching the Word and singing praise.

Thanks to everyone for their support that makes this possible!

Another BBC shipment

We were very happy to have gathered and prepared a 479kg aid shipment from Ballynahinch Baptist Church. Many thanks to the BBC team for making this happen!

Hospital Collections

We are thankful to NHS staff and a local hospital for donations of medical consumables, hospital mattresses and pillows.

All of these items are now being stored at the warehouse, which is filling up nicely in advance of the next container to Ukraine. It was good to spend some time at the warehouse and get everything tidy and organised, ready for receiving more donations!

Individual Donations

We are very grateful to individuals and a local pharmacy that have recently donated lots of mobility aids, Tena pads and medical consumables.

These items were sent to Ukraine from Ballynahinch Baptist Church in early March!

Tracked Tena Pads

We were delighted to see Tena pads donated by Habitat ReStore Lisburn and individuals being distributed in Sumy, Odesa, Kramatorsk and Ternopil, Ukraine! The recipients were extremely grateful for these valuable items and thanked everyone who contributed!

Notes of Thanks

We are thankful to Ballynahinch Baptist Church for the continued use of their facilities for storage, preparation, and shipments. Their generosity and faithful support behind the scenes make this ongoing work possible.

We are also grateful to Habitat for Humanity ReStore Lisburn, who kindly donate their surplus mobility aids and pads to us to send to Ukraine.

We also thank all donors, volunteers, couriers, church partners, and especially those serving on the ground in Ukraine.
