ELCIR reaches out with aid and God’s comfort in Jesus to refugees from Ukraine

Thanks be to the Lord! The humanitarian shipment was delivered to Kursk and Novoandrosovo, Kursk Oblast, where we had a chance to talk to refugees and share the comforting Gospel message and Easter joy!

Bishop Ivan Laptev cordially thanks all the people who helped put together the aid:

– Maksim Zuyev, who organized this effort
– Every person who donated money in the “Wish Your Bishop a Happy Birthday!” drive to collect offerings for refugees
– Anna Pomogayet Charity Cluster
– Sister Irina Makkonen, interim head of the ELCIR Diaconal Department
– Volunteers from St. Anne’s Lutheran Church and Koltushi Lutheran Church
– All people who have been praying for this!

“To the thirsty bring water; meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema. For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.” (Is. 21:14-15, ESV)
