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.
