UBTS Response to Crisis in Ukraine
February 25, 2022
 
As of February 25, 2022 – 3 p.m. (EST)
 
Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary (UBTS), located in the far West of Ukraine, has become a refuge for students, graduates, and their families. More than 100 people have received assistance already. Twenty-five people are now sheltering at UBTS with an additional 50 more expected today. Some of those people will stay at UBTS, while others will be helped as they evacuate to other areas.

In an unexpected development, the war has moved closer to L’viv than originally anticipated. Air raid sirens went off today, due to a threat of ballistic missiles.

UBTS used the Emergency Fund to purchase food, fuel, and bedding several weeks ago, in anticipation of a crisis. These supplies are being used now and many more are needed. Mattresses, in particular, are difficult to procure.

The UBTS emergency response team continues to secure supplies, process incoming information around the clock, and answer hotline calls received from their network of students and graduates throughout Ukraine. In the midst of this unfolding crisis, they are trusting God and using every opportunity to love their neighbors, serve others, and share the gospel verbally or by example.

Please continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and our friends at UBTS.
They need our prayers and support more than ever.
See below for a video message from Slavik Pyzh, President of UBTS.

"We still have a strong hope that God will deliver us from this evil.
Please pray for a miracle. Today we need a miracle."
