Ukraine Relief

Thank you for praying with us for the Ukraine crisis, which is becoming increasingly tragic! Times like this demonstrate how a worldwide missionary fellowship like the Assemblies of God affords your congregation the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of suffering people across the world. AG World Missions provides the "long reach" that connects caring hearts in the United States with desperately needy people throughout the world.

This is clearly going to be one of the largest relief efforts we have undertaken in many years and we need help from every Assembly of God church.

Two Ways to Help

  1. Invite your church to give.
  2. Encourage your church to pray.

The Eurasia region is working with the national church in Ukraine to supply emergency food, water, clothing, and temporary shelter to internally displaced people in Ukraine. Our missionaries and national leaders in Europe are already conducting relief efforts, or are ready to, for Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, and Croatia.

We have established a relief account for Ukraine: AGWM/COH Disaster Relief—Ukraine 410946 (73). This is an AGWM account for joint appeals we make with Convoy of Hope to AG churches and we share the funds with Convoy which partners with us in major relief efforts.

Here is a direct link to that account in AG Giving: http://s1.ag.org/ukraine-relief. This link can also be shared in emails and on social media for those wanting to give quickly.

Please consider sending an offering from funds you have on hand or afford your congregation the opportunity next Sunday to designate a gift for this desperate need.

Thank you for anything you can do to enable us to serve the poor and suffering, both in Ukraine and in surrounding countries—to enable our missionaries and national churches to reach out to refugees in the love of Christ and share His gospel with those who don't know Him. Please continue to ask your congregation to earnestly pray for Ukraine, especially for our dear brothers and sisters who are suffering so much in this horrific crisis.

Zdravo from Montenegro!

I am coming upon 10 months now in my new country. So much has happened in the past 10 months from being a part of the first ever Assemblies of God team as well as seeking God’s direction for this brand-new work here in the country of Montenegro. I dove right into language learning and continue to work hard while enrolled in three different language programs.

I traveled to Novi Sad Serbia this past summer to spend a couple of weeks in an intensive 40-hour language program to supplement my ongoing studies.  I found a new home and shipped my home furnishings from Romania here. I also received my temporary residency thanks to the hard work and help from Tanja. Montenegro has experienced severe restrictions and lock down due to Covid but despite that God has opened up some doors in building one on one relationships.

Relationship with Helga, a woman I met while walking in my neighborhood. Helga is in a wheelchair due to a car accident, and we stopped and talked.  I get to visit her weekly now to do a Bible Study. Relationships with those in the stores and taxi drivers doing the best I can to communicate in Montenegrin language why I am here in their country.  Relationships with those I work out with in the gym and God has opened some doors to share faith with them. Relationship with my landlord as we talk on a weekly basis and have had a chance to go out for meals, building our friendship. Relationship with my teammates. We meet weekly for praise and worship and Bible study as we get to know each other and pray for God’s leading us in future ministry

 I have had some opportunities to explore my new country learning its history and culture.  Although we have faced much isolation and challenges this past 10 months I have expanded my family, adopting a couple of little guys  which has made my time less isolating.

Thank you Oregon Ministry Network for sending me here, praying for me and encouraging me continually.
