Update: Aid for Ukraine
BGAV asks congregations to pray, give to assist Ukrainians
Please join us in this response by donating to these efforts and by lifting up this region of the world in your continued prayers. During a recent call-to-prayer event coordinated by the EBF, the Ukrainian leadership specifically asked for prayer in the following areas:
- Pray that the war will be stopped.
- Pray for God’s comfort for those who have lost family and their homes.
- Pray that Ukrainian Baptists are able to help those who are running from the war, particularly as it is still winter.
- Pray for the first "Green Truck," which will leave for Ukraine tomorrow (3/3). This is a supply truck trying to make its way safely from Poland into Ukraine.
The BGAV is working through the Baptist Forum for Aid and Development in order to provide for the needs as requested. You may contribute toward these efforts by clicking here.

Today, I invite all Cooperative Baptists to prayerfully consider making a financial contribution toward a relief fund we have established in response to the crisis in Ukraine following the Russian invasion last week. My hope is that we will tangibly extend our genuine support to the people of Ukraine through the generous sharing of our resources. With any appeal for funds, it is important that you know how those funds will be used.
Twenty years ago this month, our Fellowship commissioned Gennady and Mina Podgaisky to serve in Kyiv. They established Village of Hope a year later, and their ministry has flourished in collaboration not only with our partner congregations but Baptists and other Christians in Ukraine. Our first funding commitment with any contributions received will be to provide relief to those served by Village of Hope and for local partners of that ministry under the leadership of the Podgaiskys and CBF Global Missions.
Beyond that, our generous support will be directed to The Baptist World Alliance Forum for Aid Development (BFAD), the international disaster response work of our partners at the Baptist World Alliance. They are working actively with Baptist leaders in Ukraine and others in that country to identify the most essential use of funds. Because the situation on the ground is changing rapidly, and the crisis is mounting, it is imperative that we give generously and support the work of trusted friends and partners, not only among CBF field personnel, but in the Global Baptist community.
