Ukraine at War – Update 28, 2025

For the fourth winter in a row, Ukrainian families are facing freezing temperatures without reliable heat, electricity, or water. Russia is targeting the power grid. Homes lie in ruins. Elderly widows shiver in dark apartments. Children sleep in their coats, trembling, after another night of explosions.

Yet through the darkness and bitter cold, local HART church partners continue to shine the light of Christ. They set up heating zones and soup kitchens, and knock on doors with food, blankets, and hope. They serve because God has called them, and they trust that He will provide through His people.

In a season of hardship, your generosity becomes the miracle families are praying for. Your support turns fear into comfort, darkness into light, despair into hope.

MATCHING GIFT
OPPORTUNITY!

THANK YOU for standing with Ukrainians. Your generosity reflects God’s heart – and it is making a profound difference.

A love story God wrote in the middle of a war

A battle-weary wounded soldier, and avowed atheist, arrives at a military hospital, only to be cared for a compassionate Christian nurse whose quiet strength and kindness deeply impacted him.

Because of you…

Your faithful support of the Ark Orphanage has transformed the lives of countless children in Ukraine. Every child who arrived at the Center came from heartbreaking circumstances – homes marked by addiction, neglect, and abuse.

Through the tireless love and devotion of Lillya and her team along with HART’s Child Sponsor Program, these once-broken children have found healing, hope, and a future. And through our Education Scholarship Program, many Ark graduates have pursued education, careers, and lives filled with purpose and faith.

Pray Together with Your Church, Family, and Friends for:

  • A just and lasting peace — that light would overcome darkness.
  • Defenders, veterans, prisoners, and their families — for strength, protection, and hope.
  • Christians and non-believers in occupied territories — for endurance under persecution.
  • The safe return of kidnapped children & healing for broken families.
  • Comfort for the grieving & restoration for the wounded.
  • Protection of cities, villages, and civilians from relentless attacks.
  • Global perseverance in standing with Ukraine during this long struggle.
  • Wisdom and courage for world leaders as they confront tyranny.
