The network of churches and organizations had the connections and infrastructure in place to immediately pivot to war rescue and relief when Russia invaded. To date it has:
converted more than 500 churches to help centers (housing, feeding, transporting refugees)… these were established quickly and assisted more than 240,000 people
provided more than 1,600 tons of food and supplies through March 2023
conducted more than 410,000 evacuations from war zones and hosted thousands of refugees
provided summer camp experience to about 18,550 kids displaced and harmed by the war utilizing almost 3,000 volunteers
The picture is a group from Light of the Gospel Church who has been distributing food to 300 local families (800 people) monthly since the war began.
