Prayers & Support for Ukraine
From 1994 to 2000 North Carolina Baptists had a full partnership with Ukrainian Baptists. We sent hundreds of volunteers to purchase and renovate the seminary in Kyiv, construct churches, provide medical care, and many other ministry projects. Relationships and deep friendships were established with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
In 2002 Mina and Gennady Podgaisky were commissioned as Cooperative Baptist Fellowship missionaries in Kyiv, where they currently serve. They established Village of Hope in partnership with other Christians in Ukraine. They have been positioned here in North Carolina for an off-field assignment for the last several months but remain in close communication with brothers and sisters in Ukraine. As we pray for the people of Ukraine, you may follow their ministry’s Facebook page to stay up-to-date with information they are sharing.
Additionally, on faith, NC Baptists on Mission sent a team of trained volunteers to assist in caring for Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Poland last week. NC Baptists have also committed to sending a significant amount of funds that will be used for initiatives such as non-perishable food, toiletries, sleeping bags, mattresses, blankets and other essential needs for temporary housing for displaced Ukrainians in the region. If you would like to donate to this crucial cause, you may do so through our church by designating your check for “Ukrainian Crisis Relief.”
