Another way to help Ukrainian Refugees
This comes from a church member's friends in Romania who are actively supplying refugees with needed items as they come in. They are actively bridging the gap between the church around the world and the needs of the Ukrainian people by being the hands and feet of Jesus through purchasing and distributing items as hundreds of thousands of refugees seek safety.

Please click here to read the latest updates from their leader, Brad Hayes. Also see their website
