Ukraine at War – Update 19, 2025

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” — Matthew 6:19–20

In times of war, chaos, and uncertainty – like what our brothers and sisters in Ukraine are facing – Jesus’ words about “laying up treasures in heaven” take on a whole new depth.

What are these treasures? They’re not gold or possessions. They are the eternal impact of lives lived for Christ – acts of compassion, sacrificial giving, faithful obedience, and love expressed in His name.

Every time you support a child, help a refugee family, fund a trauma healing program, or enable a local church in Ukraine to continue its ministry – you are storing up treasure in heaven. Not temporary donations, but eternal investments. You are helping rewrite the future of children and families, planting seeds of hope that will bloom long after the headlines fade.

And Jesus says something even more profound: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21

When you invest in God’s kingdom, your heart follows. You care more deeply. You pray more passionately. You live more generously.

Thank you for choosing to make your life count for something far beyond this world. Thank you for investing where it matters most.

Your treasure is in heaven – and it’s growing.

We are truly thankful for your prayers and support – this work would not be possible without you.

Faith, Hope, and Hearing Aids

The following message comes from a mother whose life – and that of her son, Mykhailo – has been deeply transformed through the compassion and generosity of HART’s Child Sponsor project. Her words are a powerful testament to the hope, healing, and gratitude made possible by Mykhailo’s sponsor.

“I want to sincerely thank you for the financial support you provided to Mykhailo and me. This help meant the world to us – it allowed us to purchase hearing aids for my son. By God’s grace and the generosity of people like you, we were able to raise the full amount. It’s a beautiful reminder that God truly cares for us.

I was overjoyed to receive your letter. As I read it, tears of joy filled my eyes. I was deeply moved by your kindness and especially by your prayers for us. I thank God for people like you – who care so deeply, even from afar.” – Mother of Mykhailo
