UBTS Responds to the Crisis in Ukraine
March 26, 2022
BREAKING NEWS: As we prepared this email, word came that two areas of L'viv were bombed earlier today. Reports are that everyone at UBTS is safe. We will provide an update as we learn more. Please continue to pray for everyone at UBTS and for the people of Ukraine.
For a month now, the UBTS emergency team has worked non-stop to provide relief services to Ukrainians fleeing West towards safety abroad. Nearly 3.5 million people have left the country and an estimated one-half of Ukraine's children have been displaced from their homes.

During the first 31 days of the war, UBTS housed 4,720 people. Behind these numbers are human destinies, sad stories of separation and loss, as well as stories of new hopes. The people arriving today have seen more trauma and had a more difficult journey than others coming before them. Some people just cry while telling their stories, and others are completely silent. 

In today's first video, Stories of Ukrainians, you will hear from some of the people who are being cared for at UBTS. (see link below)
"In serving others I show God's love ... I show people how great and almighty is our God and that He loves everyone. "
At UBTS, refugees find a safe and loving welcome with shelter, warm meals, hot showers, clean beds, and medical care.

As people prepare to head for the border with transportation UBTS provides, they also receive any clothing and hygiene supplies they may need as they continue the journey to resettle abroad.
 

It takes a dedicated and selfless team, comprised of UBTS staff, students, and other volunteers to do this work. Together they are living out the UBTS Biblical, Missional, and Accountable Values. They are loving God and their neighbors; living not for themselves but for others; and using their spiritual gifts to build God's Kingdom.

In the second video, Values in Action, you will meet members of the UBTS team and see how devoted they are to this essential ministry.

You can view both videos in the UBTS video archive.
Your prayers and gifts have made this essential work possible
and we are deeply grateful for your continued support.

Please continue to pray for everyone at UBTS - the staff and volunteers, their families, and the people who seek shelter and care within its walls.

Pray for a miracle in Ukraine.
