Ukraine:
Providing Relief & Hope

How Can We Help?

As a global Mennonite Brethren (MB) family, we feel very connected to Ukraine, not only because the historical roots of our MB movement are there, but because we partner with a network of MB churches there. We are in close contact with leaders like Maxym and Anya Oliferovski, who oversee Multiply’s work in Ukraine, and have chosen to stay in Ukraine and oversee relief efforts from their New Hope Center base in Zaporizhzhia. Johann Matties, our Regional Team Leader for Europe and Central Asia, is involved with a multinational team that is coordinating help for Ukrainians that have fled to countries like Poland, Romania, and Germany. They are involved in partnering with local churches and ministries in those countries who are interested in serving these refugees and giving them hope in the name of Jesus.

When asked “How can we help?”, this is their answer:

  • PRAY: “Most of all, we need prayer support, that God would intervene and stop this war. We have seen miracles happen. There was a children’s shelter that was bombed, but somehow all of the children were on one side of the building, and the missile hit the other side, and no one was hurt. It seems like God put his angels there and protected them. We count these as miracles, and we ask you to pray for even more.” – Maxym Oliferovski, Multiply Ukraine; director of New Hope Center

  • GRIEVE: “We are being invited to suffer with those who are suffering, and to cry with those who are crying. It helps them to know that we are a global family that cares, a family that will find every possible way of coming alongside those who suffer, and to encourage those who suffer, that we would see signs and wonders of God's presence with us.” – Johann Matties, Multply Regional Team Leader for Europe and Central Asia

  • GIVE: “The global MB family is mobilizing in different ways to offer practical help to those who are fleeing from the war and those who are remaining in Ukraine to serve their people. The financial resources that we supply to our Ukrainian MB churches are critical in providing emergency relief, ongoing support for families in crisis, and, above all, the hope of the Gospel.”  – Vic Wiens, Equipping Coordinator for the International Community of Mennonite Brethren (ICOMB)

If you would like to support the relief effort in Ukraine, please donate to our “Ukraine Ministry Project.” (donate here) In addition to meeting urgent needs in the war zones, this project continues to support MB churches in Ukraine with ongoing discipleship and church-planting, as well as with holistic ministries such as New Hope Center and Ukraine Camp Ministries.

MARCH 2024

The war in Ukraine has entered its third year, and the people of this country are exhausted, their resources depleted and their pain beyond imagining. Besides the thousands of military personnel killed, the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) estimates at least 10,000 civilians have been killed and over 20,000 injured, although they admit that the  real number is likely significantly higher. This war has cost Ukraine 30% of its gross domestic product (GDP) and 3.5 million jobs; five million Ukrainians have been internally displaced, and more than six million have fled the country as refugees.

Alexei Yuditsenko of the Heart of Christ MB Church in Vinnytsia, writes: “… February 24, 2022, was the date that turned everything upside down. Even now, as I drive through the front line areas, I constantly see terrible devastation: abandoned houses, gas stations, schools. Once, these boiled with life.  Seeing it all burned up, one might actually think that hell has come to earth.”

Despite discouraging statistics, there is no talk of defeat. Ukraine is fighting back. Our MB churches in Ukraine also continue to fight back; however, their weapon is the hope of the Gospel, wielded through sacrificial love. Churches continue to stretch themselves to the limit to provide humanitarian aid to those in greatest need. Some respond with relief and gratitude; increasingly, many are silent and grim as they receive the supplies that will allow them to survive a few more weeks. 

Alexei remarks, “You do not always see thankfulness, looking at their faces. What do we expect?  Imagine living in a village that is under fire constantly, half the homes destroyed, your relatives have fled, and you may die at any moment. These are not just words! Think about it! They expect to die. We do not oblige anyone to smile on the camera if they do not want to…” 

Whether or not they are able to evoke a smile, Alexei and his teams work tirelessly to bring hope—the hope of eternal life after death, and the hope of peace in this life, through Jesus

Pastors and volunteers try their best to lift the spirits of the people they visit, bringing practical relief in places like Kherson and Nonomoskovsk. Although to date tons of food supplies have been distributed among the displaced, tons more are still needed. “You give us a resource to continue,” Alexei says, “though the need never ends. Regardless of whether you are in here Ukraine or not, you are doing God's work on earth!”

Segey Ryadnov, pastor of the Novomoskovsk MB church in Dnipro, works hard to distribute the supplies delivered. He agrees with Alexei that the need seems endless, but he refuses to slacken the pace. “The war is ongoing,” he says, “but we must not put down our hands. We must thank God for strength and for every opportunity to help.” 

War conspires to undermine this resolute posture, as new attacks bring new devastation. On the night of March 2, Odessa suffered a massive drone attack, destroying multi-story residential buildings. Pastor Oleksii Makaiov of the MB church in Molochansk, reports on teams sorting through the rubble. Any survivors will have lost everything, including their homes. Oleksii grieves with them, having himself lost all of their family’s property and possessions in the last year. When workers uncovered the bodies of a mother and her three-month-old child, he said, “These emotions cannot be expressed in words.”

Equally painful has been the forced withdrawal of the Ukraine forces from the town of Avdiivka, in the Donbas region. Ukraine had been fighting for this town since 2014, and MB churches have been actively involved in caring for its residents for almost ten years. Oleksii describes the situation:

“Looking back at the countless trips to Avdiivka during these ten years of war, I think on all the good that was accomplished. Generators were set up to charge cell phones and flashlights, hot meals were served in each village, school programs were organized, repairs done on houses and apartments damaged by shelling, evacuation arranged for those who fled and basement shelters set up for those who remained. And then there were countless conversations about God.

“The defense of Avdiivka lasted for 3460 days,” he concludes. “Now, the city is crushed. We can only give thanks for all those who gave their lives.”

When the statistics of those displaced or dead can seem beyond comprehension, individual stories bring it all home. Multiply’s regional Team Leader for Europe, Johann Matthies, reports that during the devastating loss of Avdiivka, an urgent prayer request came from the New Hope Center in Zaporizhzhya. The husband of one of the counselors on staff, Andrey Shpak, went missing on February 16, while on a military mission as a conscripted soldier. On March 4, news of his death finally reached his family. “Andrey and his wife Antonia led youth ministries and took part in planting the MB church in Nikolai Pole,” Johann shares. “Please pray for this family.”

Along with Irina Chumachenko, Antonia is now the second worker on the New Hope team to have lost her husband in this war. Staff and volunteers rally around their bereaved coworkers, leaning into their calling to minister to these and other families in crisis. Maxym and Anya Oliferovski, directors of the center, minister to the countless number of families who have fled into Zaporizhzhia from neighboring regions. The majority of adults and children have nothing, and are starting their lives over. The New Hope team does everything possible to offer support, including offering temporary shelter, meals, various forms of therapy and, always, the hope of the Gospel.
  

In January, the New Hope team withdrew from active ministry for a staff retreat, to discuss issues related to the well-being of their countrymen and to strategize for the future. “We are learning as we go,” Max relates, “learning the difference between apathetic and depressive states, for example. Too many people are currently grappling with such mental conditions.” As the New Hope team is challenged to meet these needs, they ask for our prayers for the many Ukrainians who are struggling to keep from giving up.   

Combatting despair, the New Hope retreat center in the Carpathian Mountains continues to be a means of bringing respite and renewed hope to the traumatized. Recently, Vasily Shevchenko of the Molochansk MB church held a retreat for families from the MB church in Kherson. These families had not left their city for almost two years. Despite its liberation from the Russian occupation in 2022, drones and artillery continue to pound the city relentlessly, and they had been living with this unrelenting trauma.

Vasily says, “We were so happy to give families a chance to spend time in silence, without rockets and bombs. We were able to provide a place of peace, free from physical and mental burdens. As they renew their strength, both physically and spiritually, they are then able to return to continue serving the people in Kherson.” 

Another strategic retreat took place at the conference level, when members of the Ukraine MB conference, AMBCU, took time for a pastoral council retreat, also in the Transcarpathian region. This was the first such event since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The conference was attended by pastors, chaplains and ministry leaders from MB churches in Mukachevo, Vinnitsa, Novomoskovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Mirnograd. The main goal was to identify the experience and capabilities of each church, and to strategize for effective interactions and coordination between church communities.

Each participant was invited to present their ministry and offer their ideas for partnerships and interactions. In connection with the military mobilization in Ukraine, the issue of military service was discussed. Many young men in Ukraine are being unwillingly conscripted for military service, and the issue is a controversial one. Several AMBCU church leaders who also serve as military chaplains were invited to share their perspectives, highlighting the challenges of counseling and bringing the Gospel to military personnel who are serving on the front lines.

Ukraine MB conference leader Roman Rakhuba asks for ongoing prayer: “Friends and partners, your constant prayer has enabled our churches to maintain unity and serve thousands of Ukrainians whose lives have been crippled by this war.” 

Pray for ongoing unity between the MB churches in Ukraine, and for continued favor with governing officials. Pray for times of deep rest and recovery for those who are leading the various churches, ministries and humanitarian aid ventures. Pray for workable strategies for upcoming summer camp initiatives. Pray for the traumatized in need of emotional healing and a grounded hope. Pray for wounded hearts to somehow, against all odds, remain soft and open to the Good News of Jesus.

Pray for peace in Ukraine.

JANUARY 2024

As our brothers and sisters in Ukraine near the two-year anniversary of this war, we see them living out the challenge of Romans 5:4, where “… suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” 

In December, our MB churches in this country worked tirelessly to bring Christmas cheer to the most vulnerable in the frontline areas. Teams distributed presents—and the vital gift of “presence”—to those with disabilities, living in boarding houses, and especially to children. Pastor Alexei Yudisenko of the Heart of Christ MB Church writes, “Ukrainian children feel all the gravity of this war. They think of how much pain they saw, how scared they feel. And, unfortunately, they are getting used to this… Our children are our future; we must do everything we can to show them a better life.” 

Children are also a high priority for the Small Arch MB Church in Kiev, where pastor Sergei Filippov tells of the “great joy in giving smiles and presents to kids on Christmas. But the greatest joy is to tell them about the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!”

Special efforts have been made to let soldiers who are defending Ukraine know that they are appreciated. These men, such as those stationed in Chernobyl, had no opportunity to celebrate the season in safe, warm houses, surrounded by loved ones.

Teams reached out to bring the miracle of the incarnation into their hearts, with tangible demonstrations of God’s love. “May God keep you and bless you,” one pastor prayed for the troops. “May he give peace in your hearts and peaceful skies over your heads.”

As God’s people work to keep hope alive, the brutality of this war continues. Alexei writes, “These are not just destroyed villages and cities, these are destroyed destinies. Those whose lives have not been taken will bear pain until the end of their lives… The main thing is to not forget that—whatever our situation is now—nothing is impossible, as long as we are alive. God is performing real miracles, by giving us the strength to hold on.”

At the New Hope Center in Zaporizhzhya, staff and volunteers continue to minister to families who have lost everything. New Hope offers  temporary accommodation meals for the displaced, as well as for families of military personnel who are in the city caring for loved ones in hospitals. Opportunities to process trauma and find a measure of healing continue, with art therapy for children and adults, parent support groups every Tuesday and Thursday, individual counseling consultations and group counseling. Directors Maxym and Anya Oliferovski write, “We are so grateful to those who help us fulfill this mission, including you who are reading this post. Thank you for your donations, and thank you for your prayers!”

Pastor Oleksii Makaiov of the MB churches in Dnipro and Molchansk tells of the now, fully functional retreat center in the Carpathian mountains, offering respite to traumatized families. He writes, “Our ‘Multiply House’ in the mountains is open! After months of construction work, the shipping containers have been transformed into furnished, cozy homes, surrounded by beautiful landscapes that add incredible impressions and emotions… families have already been here, recovering and experiencing true rest.

Oleksii goes on, “We are thankful to teams from the MB churches in Molochansk and Tokmak, who built all this with their own hands, and to all of you who in different ways support this project!”

The war is, of course, not over. The needs are staggering, and healing will take more than one lifetime. Pray for those who live in constant danger, whose future has been stolen, whose hopes are being dashed. At the New Hope Church in Zaporizhzhia, pastor Sergei Panasovich invites us to keep praying in earnest for perseverance to end in hope. 

“Life is a precious gift,” he writes. “We pray to be able to look up at the sky again, not always at the ground, in fear of taking a new step. We don't stop… even in the most hopeless, most desperate situations. Relentlessly and persistently we go on, step by step, even if each step is very small…”

Pray for strength to persevere. Pray for hope. Pray for peace in Ukraine.

November 2023

Pastor Alexei Y. of the Heart of Christ MB Church in Vinnytsia relates that humanitarian cargo and opportunities are significantly diminishing and support from all sides is decreasing. Despite this, he and his teams continue to bring resources and the hope of the Gospel to those in crisis. “I know from my experience,” he writes, “what it is to lose everything. We are thankful to Johann Matthies (Multiply Regional Team Leader for Europe and Central Asia) and MB pastor Oleksii M. for continuing to serve our people in their time of greatest need.” 

Alexei also reports on a thriving young adult ministry in the Vinnytsia church. “It is a special time every Friday evening,” he writes. “After a week on the front lines, with the sound of missiles and the earth trembling, it is wonderful to be with young people who want to know God. Pray for this generation to have a chance for a bright and peaceful future, with opportunities to influence their world.”

Young adults were among those baptized on October 15. “The most important decision of their lives!” Alexei enthused. “I ask everyone to support them in prayer, giving thanks for the firmness and strength of the decision made. And to you who made such a decision a long time ago, I want to say this: if anyone is tired, burnt out, cold, without hope—remember your covenant with God, and ignite from those who shine!”

All Ukrainians are increasingly concerned with the welfare of their youth and children, being raised as they are in a climate of danger, deprivation and grief. Reports of domestic violence continue to increase, as families struggle to cope with impossible stress levels. Alexei’s church, along with others, support the efforts of law enforcement officials and social service workers  entrusted with the oversight of child welfare. One cannot avoid sensing the irony—police officers warning Ukrainian parents of their responsibility to provide an adequate home environment for their children during a war. Alexei writes, “It is their job to check on compliance with legislation on proper parenting… but they also come with diapers, food, clothing, toys and medicine. None of us comes empty-handed.”

At New Hope Center in Zaporizhzhia, pastor and program director Maxym O. and his wife Anya are likewise invested in caring for children and families in crisis. With the average person having limited accessibility to professional counseling and rehabilitation, New Hope is dedicated to providing therapeutic sessions in art and, more recently, floral arrangement and gardening. In a country filled with destruction and chaos, volunteers encourage others to see the beauty of God’s natural world as a reflection of his love, and point them to Jesus. Max writes,

“Individuals here experience stress daily and have obsessive thoughts about the future. Unfortunately, we are now getting used to the normality of the abnormal… Art can restore the broken parts of the soul. Interacting with different colors, forms and textures, a person can express inner emotions. Another resource of strength and inspiration that we can use is that of nature itself. It remains the same. Simple floral arrangements, a miniature garden—these all can improve mental health and bring joy to our daily lives.”   

Pastor Oleksii M. of the Molochansk MB church in Dnipro continues to lead teams in bringing support to the military and to chaplains serving on the front lines, some of whom are members of MB churches. He entreats prayer on their behalf, writing,

“Since February of 2022, fighting countless battles—both external and internal—the lives of these men and women have been about waiting; waiting for spring, waiting for victory, waiting for a return to a normal family life. Please, my friends, stop for one minute and pray. Pray with all your power and possibilities! Pray for their protection. Pray for peace for our people.”

Sergey Rakhuba of Mission Eurasia also asks us to pray for those who are grieving the loss of loved ones. Near the end of September, six dedicated volunteers who were delivering essential humanitarian aid and evacuating people trapped in the city of Kupyansk tragically lost their lives. Despite their vehicle being properly marked as a humanitarian convoy, a Russian missile struck it directly, resulting in the complete destruction of the vehicle and the loss of all lives. Among the victims were four courageous men and two brave women.

Sergey writes, “These were selfless heroes who sacrificed their own lives to help others in need. Let us join together in prayer, asking for strength and comfort for the grieving families during their unimaginable time of loss. Pray for the safety of our leaders and teams of volunteers who are on the ground, tirelessly working to provide assistance and support to those affected.”

As the cold weather sets in, so does the reality of another winter of war. Many will again be without any source of heat or food, aside from what is delivered through emergency aid. Our MB churches, even while strategizing relief efforts to help families survive the harsh winter season, are also already busy planning for the next round of summer camps in the relative safety of the Carpathian Mountains of Western Ukraine. These camps offer critical relief for families who would otherwise endure unbroken months of intolerable stress.

Last year, eighty-six children and young adults heard the Gospel at the Vinnytsia church camp and eighty children attended the Novomoskovsk (Dnipro) church camp. Afterwards, many of the parents, having heard the Gospel from their children back at home, responded to the invitation to attend church services. With families urgently requesting for these camps to be offered more frequently, outside of the normal three-camp summer season, your donations to this project will help cover the cost of transportation and food. Please consider donating early towards summer camps in Ukraine, so that our churches there can begin planning even now for this next year. You can donate to this project here.

Pray for those who seek to bring hope and the peace of Jesus to a weary and wounded nation. Pray for peace in Ukraine.

Ukraine Update September 19, 2023

Multiply is thankful for your faithful prayers and support, which have helped our brothers and sisters in Ukraine to be the hands and feet of Jesus in practical ways, and to hold forth the eternal hope of the Gospel to a populace that is weary and wounded beyond imagining. 

Amid offensives, counter-offenses, bitter conflicts over land which is in turn occupied, liberated, and then bombed, the Kingdom of God continues to advance. It does so through the steadfast resolve of those who are committed to living out the Gospel of Jesus Christ through sacrificial love, forgiveness, the speaking of Truth to those in power and the pursuit of justice on behalf of the powerless. Your prayers and support are giving courage to those who are determined to walk in the ways of Jesus.

It is not easy.

August 24 marked over three decades of Ukraine independence, sovereignty, and democracy. It was a day to take pride in the remarkable resiliency of this country’s people, a day to celebrate their unique heritage and culture. This year, August 24 also marked one-and-a-half years since the launch of the full-scale Russian invasion. 

This year’s anniversary of Ukraine’s independence found Multiply’s Regional Team Leader over Europe, Johann Matthies, in Kiev. There he found a charred children’s bicycle amid the rubble of a burned-out house. The symbolism was poignant and painful for all yet inspired a fierce surge of pride and hope as well. Johann writes:

 “I am sad, but I also want to congratulate and celebrate together! Ukraine has been, and remains, spiritually vital and rich in hope. I believe we are about to witness the creation of a new European people and country. This achievement comes at the price of much blood and many tears. I invite everyone to continue to pray for this treacherously invaded country.”

At New Hope Center, the occasion was commemorated in ways designed to help bring healing through artistic expression. New Hope’s ongoing Art Therapy classes have been a powerful means of processing complex emotions and trauma. Director and pastor Maxym Oliferovski writes, 

“Art can restore the broken parts of the soul. We want to express our gratitude for your prayers. Our ministry would be impossible without you!”

Another source of therapeutic healing has come to Ukrainian families through the summer camp ministries. As the season changes, pastor Alexei Y. of the Heart of Christ MB Church plant in Vinnytsia reflected on the invaluable gift that a few days of safety in the beauty of the Carpathian mountains has been for many. He tells us:

“Our life rhythms are difficult, between thousand-mile trips to the frontlines, church services, and providing emergency relief to the displaced. Being in the mountains, conversations around an open fire–these things allow our hearts to open… Thank you for your support in holding these incredible events, especially life-changing for young people!“

Pastor Oleksii M. of the Molochansk church plant in Dnipro is grateful for the financial support that has allowed for the refurbishing of railway car containers to house families who attend these camps, as well as evacuees. Oleksii and his teams are working on furnishing more of these tiny homes with basics like beds, tables and chairs, refrigerators, wardrobes and more. He writes, 

“[Evacuees] have lost relatives and loved ones in the war; they live in a constant state of alarm… It is impossible to convey with words and photos all the horror people have experienced. Destruction, filth, stench, rotting food and vegetation, broken souls, hopelessness. We, as a church, as God's people, know where to find hope… [but] so many people are in need of rehabilitation, therapy, rest and peace.” 

His prayer is that these containers would become places of shelter and beauty for the traumatized.

Heart of Christ MB Church pastor Alexei Y. and New Hope Church pastor Sergei P. report on the relief provided through the ongoing partnership between the Ukraine MB Conference (AMBCU) churches and Mission Eurasia. One important ministry involves Bread of Life bakeries, which have sprung up over Ukraine and Moldova since the beginning of the war. Alexei writes, “The bakeries operate 24/7 to provide bread for our volunteers to deliver, along with a bible, to the displaced. This bread goes beyond mere sustenance. It is a symbol of life and hope…” 

Mission Eurasia is also partnering with the Christian Medical Association of Ukraine to provide Mobile Medical Clinics which travel to villages close to the front line where the lack of medical care and medicines, including basic painkillers, has added greatly to the suffering. 

With an entire generation growing up during this war, our churches are doing all that is possible to keep traumatized children and youth from becoming angry, bitter adults. Camps and art therapy classes are only a small part of their efforts to raise the next generation to love and follow Jesus, our Prince of Peace. 

Sergei F. is an army chaplain and pastor of the Small Arch MB Church in Kiev. Their church has a strong focus on children and student ministries. A recent church picnic was held in a park in Kyiv, offering parents and children from his congregation a welcome opportunity to forget, for a time, that their lives are in constant danger. Days after the picnic, the park was hit by Russian weapons. 

Sergei’s wife, Nastya, writes, 

God protect our country and families! Children, adolescents, young people–they are not just the future of this country, but its present. In the future, we will reap what we have invested in them today!”

Another pastor, who is also an army chaplain, is Sergey R. As pastor of the Nonomoskavsk church in Dnipro, Sergey R. is also keenly aware of the need to nurture the children during wartime. He writes, “The difference between children and adults is that adults we adults are looking everywhere to find happiness, but children can find happiness in everything.” 

This innocence is fragile, however, and he acknowledges the need for tender hearts to be nurtured and guarded, if they are to stay soft. “Our children understand more than we think,” he comments. War does not allow for much of a childhood, but Jesus is calling the “little ones” to come to him, that they in turn might be powerful peacemakers as adults.

Pray for the children of Ukraine, that they would grow in wisdom and courage, and choose to follow Jesus. Pray for the volunteers that are daily risking their lives to feed the bodies and spirits of their countrymen. Pray for our churches to be places of refuge, hope, and kindness. 

Pray for peace in Ukraine. 

UKRAINE UPDATE: AUGUST 8, 2023

Life for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine is a blurring of both joy and grief in constant crisis. One recent story in particular, coming from pastor Alexei Y. of the Heart of Christ MB Church, illustrates this tension.

Man sweeping in UkraineAlexei and his team have been helping those impacted by the flooding in Kherson, flooding that resulted from the June 6 bombing of the Kakhovka Dam. Many people are still unable to return to their homes, where walls made of clay brick have collapsed, yards are full of rubble and mud, and heavy rains impede workers from making headway. Some houses literally floated away. Team members have been working tirelessly to repair what they can of the broken homes, while gifts of household appliances and furniture from the Heart of Christ Church in Vinnytsia try to help repair broken hearts. Many victims have heard the hope of the Gospel and been touched by this tangible demonstration of its message.

While volunteers shovel the wreckage, however, there is constant shelling and drones flying overhead. On July 22, one team came perilously close to death. Alexei writes:

“I and my team experienced two miracles in a row. While we were working outside, a drone spotted us. It made three laps overhead and then dove down to attack, while we ran for cover. The drone hit one of our cars – but only with its wing, not the nose – so it did not detonate. As it lay there, we could see it was filled with explosives and hear that it was still active, but when nothing happened, we decided to go back to work. This is what we do: we pray, we work, we do what we can. Minutes later, a second drone attacked and landed next to the first one. The explosion damaged the cars, but we were not harmed, so we kept working. Later, as we were driving away, a third drone flew towards us. It missed the car and exploded in front of us, shattering the windshield. But the driver was not even scratched! We give thanks to God for his protection!”

drone

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty... You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day… A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. ~ Psalm 91: 1, 5, 7

When it comes to our Ukraine churches, such is their determination to help that even older disasters are receiving new attention. Pastor Alexei Y. reports on renewed relief efforts for those in Chernobyl, victims of a terrible nuclear power plant explosion over thirty-seven years ago. 

Alexei writes, “Life stopped here, but people returned to the infected area literally a few years after the accident and to this day continue to live there. They survived a terrible tragedy and, a year ago, a terrorist occupation…”

Old wounds as well as new ones are tended to by those who bring a helping hand and a message of hope and healing through Jesus Christ.

Returning to the relative safety of Vinnytsia, volunteers swing from high alert to joy as they engage with the Lord’s work in the Heart of Christ Church. There have been baptisms to celebrate, laughter is heard every Saturday during children’s events, and camps bring a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of daily life.

Alexei writes, “To see the faces of children happy, to share from the Bible, this is a great joy… These children come from the front lines. It is incredible to see how their eyes start to light up and they forget about the war and the shelling… We are thankful to Multiply Europe and to Regional Team Leader Johann Matthies for contributing to this work!”

Pastor Oleksii M. of the Molochansk MB Church in Dnipro is also engaged in relief efforts in Kherson as well as Zaporizhzhia. Their teams travel to the front lines to bring provision and the Gospel to those serving in the armed forces, as well humanitarian aid for civilians. In between these excursions, they take time to minister to young adults on short retreats in the Carpathian Mountains, where the peace and beauty of nature can do much to restore the soul and give opportunities to connect more deeply with the Lord.

Oleksii writes, “I have great hope that this time for young people is a time to pull away from the realities of wartime and breathe without constant anxiety, fears, longing and pain. Pray for God's mercy and God's peace to fill their lives daily.”

bomb siteElsewhere, it is harder to put the war out of one’s mind. On July 17, Moscow terminated an agreement that allowed Ukraine to export its grain from Black Sea ports, warning that any ship sailing those waters would be considered a military target. On the heels of that decision came relentless attacks on the port cities of Odessa and Mykolaiv. Pastor Oleg S. of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Odessa witnessed the shelling of the infrastructure of the Odessa port and grain storage, only a few blocks from his house. Pictured here is one of the craters from the ongoing bombing.

Oleg writes, “It was one of the worst nights ever. Such a scale of attack we do not recall from the beginning of the full-fledged invasion. But God is good!”

His last remark reflected the fact that, even as food is being weaponized by Russia during this war, God has resourced his people to meet the ever-increasing needs around them, providing emergency relief and provision of shelter and food. He says, “Our goal is to rescue people… and that people who come for bread also receive the Bread of Life!”
New Hope CenterPray that people who come for bread would also receive the Bread of Life New Hope Center, under Multiply workers Maxym and Anya Oliferovski, continues to minister to the traumatized as well, with ongoing Art Therapy classes. Some adults drop their children at class, then gather in another room with other parents to talk and process their experiences together. New Hope engages the services of a local psychologist to facilitate conversations on self-care and healing, and the importance of nurturing a positive environment for personal growth.
art in war
Art has become a means across the entire country for expressing national sentiment and promoting healing, and Max reports that well-known Ukrainian artists are creating illustrations that reflect the terrible tragedy that happened in the Kherson region. Pictured here is a work by Valentina Romanova, who is quoted in the Ukrainska Pravda about her recent work: “Kherson, 6 June 2023. The dam was blown up. My friend Ruslan is evacuating his grandma, Mariia Vasylivna, from her flooded home in Nova Kakhovka, where I spent two wonderful summers – in my past life.”


Johann in UkraineFor the first time since the invasion, Max and his wife Anya, pictured here to the right of Johann and Hedi Matthies, were able to leave Ukraine for a time of rest and respite in Germany. They were warmly welcomed by Johann, Multiply’s Regional Team Leader in Europe and Central Asia. Johann writes, “Since Russia started the full scale war against Ukraine 500 days ago, this was the first time Max was able to leave his battered homeland. We admire such resolve and sacrificial service!”

This sentiment, applied to all of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, impels us to continue in praise and prayer. Pray for strength and stamina. Pray for healing from physical and emotional trauma. Pray for safety for all who seek to bring emergency and sustained relief.

Pray for peace in Ukraine.

June 19, 2023


Rescue those who are being taken away to death; 
hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. 
~ Proverbs 24:11 (ESV) 

The trials faced by those in Ukraine are relentless, and hearing updates can become disheartening. Yet amid the rubble and the floodwater debris, there emerge stories of God’s provision and grace. 

On Tuesday, June 6, the hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River near Kherson, Ukraine, was destroyed. Over 100 towns and villages were flooded, displacing tens of thousands of Ukrainians, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without drinking water and impacting agricultural land and the potential food supply. 

Within hours, aid was being mobilized not just by the military but by local churches and Christian humanitarian agencies such as Mission Eurasia, overseen by MB Ukraine conference director Roman Rakhuba.

Rakhuba writes, “The destructive impact of this attack is enormous. The need for shelter and food in that region is huge. Mission Eurasia teams are providing drinking water—the greatest immediate need—in truckloads filled with five-liter bottles, bread and copies of Scripture to provide comfort and hope…an inflatable boat was also purchased to help with evacuation. Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to this!” -Roman Rakhuba

Pastor Alexei Y. of the Heart of Christ Church was also mobilizing teams on site. A station was set up to provide food and beverages for emergency relief crews. Alexei tells us, “The most inspiring moment was when the Chief of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kherson approached and said that no one even provided them a cup of coffee, let alone meals. He wholeheartedly came to shake hands and thank us, as we thank each and every one of you who are donating toward Ukraine relief efforts!” -pastor Alexei Y.

Not long after, on June 14, intense shelling in Odessa left a business center, educational institution, residential complex, food establishments and shops in the city center either partially or completely destroyed. One of our Ukraine conference partners, Oleg Shaykevych of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, was on the scene the night of the attack. He writes, “Tonight was scary for Odessa. People were killed, warehouses where people were sheltering have been damaged, along with residential buildings nearby. Russia turns everything into ruins. Even McDonalds!” 

At times one wonders what there is left to destroy. Pastor Oleksii M. reports that among the many villages shelled in southern Ukraine during these last months, 95% of the houses have been leveled by various missiles and even phosphorus bombs. 

Oleksii writes, “People need to travel dozens of kilometers to buy groceries, medicines, or other household goods. For most of the inhabitants of these villages, it is a very difficult task as they are usually not young, and the war has taken away what little health was there. Villagers strive to rebuild broken houses, repair furniture, and somehow arrange a living space. Some are eager to help each other, sharing what they have received from volunteers; others are overcome by the enormous stress they are enduring, and this results in conflicts and all sorts of negativity… 

“In one village on the border of Kherson, there is a village ruined by war. An elderly couple had once built and furnished a small, cozy house for themselves. Saving diligently, the husband had even bought his wife a washing machine. Within two weeks they lost everything, and amid the ashes is the burned-out shell of the washing machine that they never had a chance to use…

“So much pain and heartbreak in all of this… but I know a Divine Physician who is a healer of the human soul. I appeal to him for all the people affected by this war!” - pastor Oleksii M.

In light of the ongoing horrors of war, the resiliency, generosity and determination of the Ukrainian people continues to astound, and no less so in our brothers and sisters who are striving to bring the hope of the Gospel to their communities. 

At New Hope Center, the team continues to offer respite and therapy for the displaced. Periodic family retreats in the Carpathian mountains continue to be offered, along with the weekly Art Therapy sessions for children and adults in the New Hope Zaporizhzhia facilities. New Hope director and Multiply worker Maxym O. tells of one particularly significant session:

“Our focus that day was on the theme of hospitality”, he writes. "The Ukrainian people have always been celebrated for their hospitality. A traveling, invited or even uninvited guest must be fed, serving the best food that the hosts can provide, even better that what they would normally eat every day. We must not forget who we are.” - Maxym O.

Even in this time of war and scarcity, New Hope models and encourages the generosity that Jesus asked of his disciples. In John 6, five loaves offered by a small boy were multiplies to feed thousands. In the same way, New Hope staff teaches, survivors in Ukraine – the “Breadbasket of Europe” – must share their own resources with those in need. God will multiply what is given to him in faith. 

Maxym and his wife Anya also insist that there are always reasons to celebrate. The most recent celebration was that of the wedding of their daughter, Katya. 

They tell us, “We are so  thankful to all our friends and relatives who shared our children's wedding. And also to the defenders of Ukraine for the opportunity to have a wedding, even in the middle of war!” - Max & Anya O. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails… ~ 1 Corinthians 13:6-8a 

Other celebrations took place recently at the Small Arch MB Church in Kiev, where pastor Sergei F. and his congregation gathered to witness the baptisms of three young believers. "This is the day that the Lord had made!" he spoke over the candidates. “This day is a significant day in the life of our church. Our first water baptisms!” - pastor Sergei F.

In light of these three young people making this public commitment to follow Jesus, Sergei’s wife, Nastya, expressed her heart for Ukrainian children during this war. 

She writes, “Children have become hostages of adult decisions, and too many are forced to stay in dangerous places near the frontlines. When we bring humanitarian aid to such places, we try first to help families with children. Each of them has their own tragic story… There is a father, raising six children on his own. But he must work so that children have food and, of course, that means he has no time for their upbringing. In another family, the mother has a mental disorder, and the children are neglected. They live with her but feel lonely… There are parents who abuse alcohol trying to escape from stress, and others who cannot cope with difficult life situations.”  

“We focus on practical help and on prayer. Prayer has always been the most effective tool for change,” they insist. From May to October, the church hosts a monthly event in the park, where they pitch a tent, cook free hot dogs, and host activities for children and adults. “In this informal setting, interacting with families,” they explain, “we can best serve them and spread the love of God!”

God’s people are determined to be a source of hope and kindness, helping the broken and the desperate to find peace and purpose in Jesus. Pray for the emotional and mental stamina of believers as they shoulder the burden of caring for their communities. Pray for their physical safety and health. Pray for traumatized hearts to find solace, and for an end to this senseless, brutal war. Pray for peace in Ukraine. 

MAY 1, 2023

Johann Matthies, Multiply’s Regional Team leader for Europe and Central Asia, writes that reports of religious persecution in Ukraine are not exaggerated. Since the beginning of the invasion in 2022, three MB church buildings have been appropriated by Russian troops in Molochansk, Kutuzovka and Balkovoe, as well as the Mennonite Center building in Molochansk. News from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) relate how Russian authorities have closed and/or forcefully converted at least twenty-six places of worship to come under the Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. Multiple non-Orthodox religious leaders have been killed or imprisoned, with at least thirteen places of worship looted or destroyed in occupied Ukraine.

Displaced church members gather where they can, and continue to worship together and pray for an end to the war. Their devotion was undeterred as they celebrated the risen Christ at Easter. Sergey Rakhuba, president of Mission Eurasia (partnering with Multiply in Ukraine) commented, “Amid the darkness all around us, we rejoice in the living Christ, who has conquered death and who serves as a beacon of hope for all those who have placed their trust in him… Please pray that many more needy people will find hope in Christ and will join us in proclaiming that ‘Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!’ May God be our refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of trouble (Psalm 46:1).”

Many believers, including pastors and members of the MB churches, face daily the dilemma of how best to protect their country without resorting to violence. Recently, military officials showed up at the church shelter in Mukachevo where pastor Oleksii M. and others are ministering. Officers proceeded to hand out service papers to the men of the village, including to Oleksii and other church members, obliging them to report to the military center. “Our faith and Mennonite Brethren convictions will not allow us to kill another human being,” Oleksii told them, “but we can tell you about other things that we are doing to support our country.” Over the next hour, they shared how their churches were acting as shelters for the displaced, helping with evacuation and resettlement, caring for orphans and the elderly and bringing generators and wood stoves to remote villages during the harsh winter months. Seeing that the work being done by the churches was genuine and invaluable, the authorities acknowledged that their religious status qualified its members and leaders as non-combatants.

Others have not been given this option. Denis G., Executive Director of Mission Eurasia’s field ministries, was recently drafted into the Ukrainian military and told to report for duty. His wife and children, living as refugees in London, have been devastated by this news. Please join with his family, friends and colleagues to earnestly pray for God’s strength and protection for Denis – and other believers faced with this moral challenge – during this time of uncertainty and personal risk. Pictured here are Dennis and his wife and two children. 

MB pastor Alexei Y. of the Heart of Christ churches in Berdyansk and Vinnytsia hears such stories on a regular basis. He has been moved, along with others, to reach out not just to civilians but to the military as well. Alexei and his team extend practical humanitarian aid as well as offer spiritual and moral support to Ukrainian soldiers. Alexei writes, “On a recent trip to a frontline village, we met with hundreds of soldiers, told them the Good News and talked to them. It seems a little thing, but it is so important to them… Our team sang songs, handed them clothes, groceries, and more.” 

Pastor Oleksii M. writes of delivering humanitarian aid to southern Ukraine. Among the small villages visited was the village of Luch, located on the border of the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. Before the Russian invasion, there were 1,000 people living there. “According to the map the village still exists,” Oleksii says, “but in fact there is no village left. All the houses there are destroyed or significantly damaged. In the worst period of the shelling, only thirty-eight residents remained, hiding in two underground bunkers left over from the Cold War. Since the de-occupation, people are beginning to return; maybe fifty-two live there now. We try to serve by bringing them drinking water, food packages, gas stoves and gas cylinders for heating, generators and clothes. But life in the village remains difficult. There’s still no gas, electricity or water. The lives of all these people are absolutely dependent on Christian and other charitable organizations.”

Ministry to the displaced and traumatized continues at New Hope Center in Zaporizhzhia, where MB pastor Maxym O. and his team offer practical aid and support for those seeking refuge and resettlement, as well as opportunities for counselling, Art Therapy, prayer and even retreats in the Carpathian mountains where families can enjoy a few days of safety and healing. More recently, New Hope has begun to hold seminars in Life Coaching and Personal Development, training others for personal growth, time management and goal setting. Max acknowledges that, for many, “It's difficult to have goals right now, or to make plans.”

Max and his wife Anya continue to renovate the property they have called “Wings Renewal Center”, a place which has been in the past a personal refuge for them, and which they now hope to share with others. Max relates, “We escaped to this place several times at the beginning of the invasion. It was scary to stay in the city. Each time attacks hit our city, twice blowing out the windows in the apartment, we would come to this cabin for safety. It was a small house, with the shower and toilet outside, no running water. But it was healing being surrounded by nature, with time to pray…” 

Max and Anya have now purchased an adjacent house to accommodate more guests. With the help of friends, they were able to build a bathroom in the second house, although their own cabin still does not have one. Max and his wife do not focus on what is lacking. “This is a special place,” he says. “So say all our friends who have come here, in war or in peacetime. We have water, we have a beautiful garden, we have dreams. 

“Some tell us that our plans are too big,” Max says, “but is there a limit to dreams? It is our ability to dream that helps us to keep going. Let’s dream together!

MARCH 16

It has been over one year since the war began; a time to reflect on how our MB churches rose to meet inconceivable challenges, and how they have continued to be the hands and feet of Jesus during a time of incomprehensible suffering.

 

Pastor Oleksii M. of the church in Molochansk were among those forced to evacuate early in the war. Together with Multiply they organized a humanitarian aid center in Mukachevo, Western Ukraine, to provide the displaced with shelter and help with resettlement. This center is now a significant hub for the receiving and distributing of supplies brought in from outside the country, providing relief for many, including the elderly in a nursing home in Kutuzivka. Their latest project involves the conversion of shipping containers into more housing for refugees.

In Kyiv, Pastor Sergei F. of the Small Arch Church has expanded the ministry of his congregation to include caring for 170 families on a monthly basis, as well as running children’s camps and outreach events. On Sundays, they receive on average thirty non-members each week who are looking to learn more about Jesus; even now, several are preparing for baptism.  

Multiply’s Regional Team Leader for Europe, Johann Matthies, recently was part of a small team of Multiply workers bringing relief to those on the front lines. He describes the complex emotions both of the ones being helped, and of the ones who wish desperately that they could help more.

“These are fragile, challenged families. So many have fathers, husbands, and sons either fighting in the war or dead because of it. Our teams bring bags of supplies, but we have no words; everything one could say sounds trite and artificial when faced with the teary, empty eyes of family members who wonder, ‘How can you be alive to bring us gifts, when the ones we really need have lost their lives?’”

In the Odessa region, Sergei and the Kyiv church have also been partnering with pastor Oleg S. and the Tabernacle Baptist Church, bringing aid to those living in towns and cities close to the front line or in Russian-occupied territories, including children in boarding schools, families, refugees and the poor. In Kherson, pastor Vasily S. receives and distributes aid brought in by these teams. The risk is considerable, as this region has been frequently targeted with the chaotic shelling of Russian troops.

Everywhere they go, relief teams offer not just supplies, but hope. In Bakhmut, along with food, flashlights, candles, diapers, drinking water and hygiene items, New Testaments are handed out. Each encounter is an opportunity to share the Gospel and offer prayer. Somehow, people are able to keep going. One resident was quoted as saying:

“The occupied side is turned into ashes, but people still live here. Almost all houses are damaged: no windows, holes in the walls, the yards broken by shrapnel. We live in basements, drink water from puddles, but refuse to leave. We survive only with your help.”

"Old men no longer sit at the gate; young men no longer sing (Lamentations 5:14),” said pastor Oleg S, seeing the devastation in Bakmut. Nevertheless, our churches continue to persist with the work of restoring hope.

Pastor Alexei Y., of the Heart of Christ Church in Berdyansk, evacuated his family to Vinnytsia last year. They have since planted a sister church, also called Heart of Christ, and are actively distributing, both in Vinnytsia and elsewhere, humanitarian aid received from Mission Eurasia, Samaritan’s Purse, Multiply and others. Those still in the church in Berdyansk, now led by Dennis N. and his wife, are keenly aware of the danger of staying behind. Here, as with the recent seizing of a large Mennonite church in Balkove, there is the reality of homes and churches alike being invaded without notice, possessions and properties seized, and residents taken for interrogation.

Pastor Sergei Panasovich of the New Hope Church in Zaporizhzhia has helped lead efforts to bring aid to those in embattled Avdivka, outside Donetsk. The comforters, food, thermal leggings and other supplies are distributed among those whose very survival depends upon such resources. Meanwhile, back in Zaporizhzhia, a TV tower was targeted by Russian rockets. In the explosions, there were many casualties, and the house next door to Maxym O., pastor and director of New Hope Center, was hit while he and his wife and daughter were at home. Max’s house was damaged, but they escaped without injury. 

Undaunted, Max and the New Hope team in Zaporizhzhia forge ahead with their ongoing therapeutic retreats for families in crisis, offering times of refuge in the Carpathian mountains where the traumatized can experience peace, community, counseling, prayer and the healing beauty of God’s creation. Max writes,

“To win in this war, we need breaks. We need times when we can be in a quiet place, where body and soul can rest, where sleep is possible again, where we can breathe fresh air, laugh with all our heart. These are the simple, necessary moments that bring us hope for our future.”


Hope refuses to be deferred when the People of God refuse to stop ministering with love and courage, and pastor Oleksii M. of the MB church in Dnipro in an example of such perseverance. In between humanitarian aid trips this last month, he spent the better part of his time in medical clinics. Recovering from surgery, Oleksii reflected, “Life has very different times. Positive and negative, successful and not so, happy and sad. There are times when everything hurts, all at once…”


All across the country, it seems like everything is indeed hurting, all at once; even so, our brothers and sisters in Ukraine persist. Pastor Alexei Y. is one who ministers despite pain, and even finds inspiration amidst the rubble. On one excursion, while walking through the grounds of a granary that had been destroyed by Russian shelling – leaving thousands of tons of crops exposed to the elements and spoiled – he paused. There, at his feet, was a tiny seedling.

“Even so, among the ruins, seeds sprout,” he mused. “Life conquers death! It will always be.” 

 

January 26, 2023

Our partners in Ukraine report that on January 14, in addition to the shelling of Kyiv where twenty-eight buildings were destroyed and critical infrastructure damaged, a terrifying event took place in the Dnipro region. At 3:00 p.m., when people were resting from work, playing with their children, or just finishing dinner in their apartments, a missile hit an apartment building, leaving at least sixty wounded, twelve of them children, three critically injured and five dead. This last number will grow as the search for bodies under the rubble continues. The missile was a Kh-22 missile designed to destroy aircraft carrier groups at sea. 

MB pastor Oleksii M. of the Molochansk church plant in the Dnipro region describes the attack and its aftermath: Dnipro today, right now at this moment, is full of pain and tears. Lord save the lives of those who are under the rubble! Lord, give strength to all services and to the many people who now dismantle the destroyed walls, listening for sounds to find the wounded from under the slabs. Pray for Dnipro, this city in which we have lived for the last two years, this town where our oldest son, Mark, goes to school, the street we drive down every day to take him to school, the houses that we always pass – houses that are no longer there.” 

As emergency crews moved in to find survivors, Oleksii epitomized the spirit of his people in doing whatever he could to bring aid, comfort and the hope of the Gospel to the traumatized. “Now, with friends,” he said, “we have dismantled some of the rubble in the area adjacent to our house. We are preparing hot tea and a little food for the workers, and for whomever they are able to rescue…”

Pastor Oleksii Y. of the Heart of Christ MB Church in Berdyansk reports on the current situation in Kherson. He writes, “The villages around Kherson are in a very difficult situation. People have either been under occupation, experiencing moral, physical and psychological horror, or they lived with constant shelling. Villages such as Antonovka and other villages on the banks of the Dnieper River are under constant attack by Russian snipers. Despite this, our churches continue to serve the vulnerable living on the frontline of these battles. Thanks to everyone who helps us to do good and to carry the Gospel!”

Multiply’s Ukraine Team is involved in evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, church planting, and emergency relief - all supported through our Ukraine Ministry project. We also support the New Hope Training Center, founded by Multiply global workers Maxym and Anya Oliferovski. This project provides orphans and youth-at-risk with vital vocational training and organizes Summer Camp ministries for families in crisis, children, youth, and the elderly. Staff of New Hope have chosen to remain in Ukraine during the war and are now involved in delivering food kits, relocating families, and responding to requests from municipal social services for emergency relief for the poor. Their new online ministry now supports isolated families with encouraging Bible messages, prayer, and the hope of the Gospel.

Although Ukraine has faced years of political instability, and now full-scale war, the MB churches there have been growing and embracing their role of influence within society. MB churches in Ukraine have always been focused on the marginalized, the poor, and those who have been left behind by society and traditional churches. For years, they have organized relief for people in the Donetsk war zone, providing food, medicine, water, and the Good News. This work is now happening on an even greater scale throughout Ukraine, providing both immediate emergency relief and the eternal hope of the Gospel, with a vision to see multiplying churches that utilize a holistic approach to serve and transform local communities.
