The situation in Ukraine has finally transitioned from diplomacy to invasion. As a Christian medical relief agency, ORH is not called to enter into the political rights or wrongs. We are only responsible to “seek first the Kingdom of God.”
Therefore, ORH views this man-made disaster as a sad and forced opportunity to help Ukrainian people both physically and spiritually.
For those who know ORH contacts and friends in Ukraine, all are safe. They are presently positioned to help churches, ministries, refugees, and those unable to leave their circumstances.
A verbal report received by ORH gives hope. A missionary to Ukraine reported that a church with which he has communication reported 25 unsaved people were in services just in the last two weeks.
Many will seek the Church for help; they must hear the Gospel. Pray the churches may stay open during the occupation.
Please, pray for the success of an ORH action plan devised by ORH leadership over the last three weeks. The action plan, initiated early this morning, will hopefully empower ORH contacts and friends to conduct vital ministry in both the Eastern and Western parts of Ukraine.
ORH believes that many refugees will flee for help to ORH’s Western contacts and friends who are still able to minister freely. Pray that ORH will have the means to empower these ministry resources.
Refugees are on the move, and both Eastern and Western Ukraine need help.
After the Russian recognition of the 2014 “Separatists” in Eastern Ukraine, ORH helped by providing food money to a church leader in the newly recognized “Separatist” region. That opportunity closed after a period time.
Pray ORH efforts are not “too little, too late.”
