Church planting + kids camps in war-torn Ukraine. Sharing Jesus. Loving people.

06/17/2026

A few houses down from one of our partner churches in Kramatorsk, another missile strike hit the city. Families were affected. Streets damaged. Another day interrupted by war.

And still, that evening, Bible study happened. Because worship, prayer, Scripture, and community become even more necessary when life feels fragile.

This is what many of our partner churches are doing every single week across Ukraine. Staying, serving, and reminding people that darkness does not get the final word.

Your support helps local churches remain present in Ukraine.

Youth from one of our partner churches in Kyiv recently spent their weekend traveling east to villages near Balakliya, places many people only know now through headlines about occupation, shelling, and destruction.

They brought clean water and humanitarian aid. They sat with people outside apartment buildings and bus stops, listening to their stories and praying for them.

The Church in Ukraine is teaching us something about faith right now: following Jesus often looks like refusing to disappear from hard places.

Please keep praying for these young people, and if you feel stirred to support churches continuing this kind of ministry near the front lines, we’d love to invite you into it. To learn more, please visit lightforukraine.org.

One of our team members just returned from Ukraine after several weeks spent documenting stories of what God continues to do through local churches across the country.

Her last night in Kyiv was spent in a bomb shelter during one of the largest attacks since the full-scale war began. For nearly nine hours, air raid alerts echoed across the city as missiles targeted Ukraine overnight. The next morning, while boarding a train to Poland, she read the news that 24 people had been killed in Kyiv overnight.

Moments like that change the way you read headlines.

Because suddenly, these are no longer distant news updates. These are the conditions our partner churches have been serving in for years now. The places where Bible studies still happen, youth still gather, and churches continue opening their doors, no matter what happened the night before.

In the middle of all of it, the Church in Ukraine continues to quietly embody the way of Jesus - staying present, caring for people, and carrying hope.

We’d love for you to stay connected. Subscribe to our newsletter at lightforukraine.org to receive updates from Ukraine, hear stories from our partner churches, and learn about future opportunities to serve alongside us.

If you have a young son or a daughter, you probably think about their future - their stability, their opportunities, the kind of life they’ll step into.

For many young people in Ukraine, that picture has been disrupted. Some have been displaced. Some are learning to live without structure or routine. Some are already stepping into the responsibility of defending their homeland.

That’s why our partner churches keep investing in young people - creating spaces where they can gather, build real relationships, and grow in their faith.

The church building burned for hours after the missile strike.

And when the fire was finally out, people stepped back into the ruins and started singing:

“I love the Church, redeemed by Christ.”

Moments like this remind you what the Church really is.

Because the Church was never ultimately built from brick and wood. It is built from people formed by love.

This is the quiet strength of the Church in Ukraine right now. It’s not untouched by suffering.

But it’s faithful. And it is a privilege for us at Light for Ukraine to stand alongside churches and ministries across Ukraine as they continue bringing the Gospel, serving their communities, and carrying hope in the middle of war.

In the middle of ashes and shattered glass, the presence of God still feels near.

Why your monthly support matters.

It allows us to:

-support pastors and their families as they continue to lead through the war
-keep churches open and ready to serve after each attack
-respond quickly to real needs on the ground
-continue building and planting new churches across Ukraine

It takes $18,000 to plant a church that can serve displaced families and build community long-term.
It’s a big number, but it is made possible through small, consistent contributions.

It can look like:
-180 people giving $100
-36 people giving $500
-18 people giving $1,000

This is how the Gospel reaches people - through all of us. Would you consider becoming a monthly supporter?

Some of the pastors in Ukraine we partner with have started what they call a “plastic windows” ministry, going into neighborhoods after attacks to temporarily cover windows shattered by blast waves.

Because in a time when everything feels shaken, the church is one of the first places people turn to. Even in the middle of war, the Gospel continues to move - through your support, through these churches, into the lives of people who need it right now.

We want to say thank you.

Because of your support, local churches in Ukraine are able to show up for their communities in real, practical ways - providing food for families who need it most right now.

Simple things like groceries and shared meals become something much bigger when the church becomes the place people turn to for daily support.

These moments of connection matter just as much as the help itself.

What does displacement actually look like?

It looks like families leaving home with just one backpack, getting on a bus, and heading to a place they’ve never lived before.

It looks like starting over in a new city, further from the front lines, often in temporary housing, built quickly for those who had to leave everything behind.

Right now, we’re seeing this in a community in Cherkasy, where dozens of families from the Donetsk region are rebuilding life from scratch.

In places like this, we’ve seen how important the church becomes.

Where a church is present, it becomes a center of life, a place where people gather, find support, and don’t have to rebuild alone. And in this community, that kind of place is still missing.

That’s why we want to help start a church here.

A place that can bring people together, and offer a strong, faith-based foundation for rebuilding life.
You can be part of planting a new church where people don’t have to walk through this alone.
