Ukraine: Redemptive Relief

Avant has had a presence and ministry in Eurasia for more than 30 years. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022, our workers and churches in the region jumped into action to minister to the refugees fleeing Ukraine. As the crisis unfolded, our workers and churches were committed to short-term crisis relief, mid-term support as additional needs became evident, and long-term outreach to plant and develop healthy churches in this region.

Avant opened the Ukraine Crisis Response project to support our workers and associated churches in their efforts to alleviate much of the suffering around them. God used the generous gifts of our partners to enable believers, churches, and missionaries to minister physically and spiritually to those affected by the war. We praise God that He has transformed the lives of many who now love and follow Him.

Now, more than two years later, there are people still in crisis with many of the same needs such as food, clothing, and medicine. Our missionaries and churches are finding creative ways to engage and continue ministering to those suffering the tragedies of the war. If you are led to contribute to this ongoing ministry your gift will be used to provide for the various physical needs of people as well as mobilize more believers to share the message of the gospel in this region.

You can learn more about how God has been at work through our missionaries, churches, and generous ministry partners in the video and stories below. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel!
