Help priests in Ukraine bring
struggling Christians closer to God,
by making an offering today.
Seminarian Ihor received a phone call from his godfather asking,
in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war... "Where is God?"
Ihor felt at a loss to answer—what words can you offer
someone who is suffering such anguish?
But Ihor simply listened.
These men of God, like Ihor, have remained at their posts through
the worst of this three-year war, so that suffering Christians can
experience the presence of God in their darkest moments.
This is important for three reasons.
The first is hope...
Everyday, the war is destroying the lives of countless Ukrainians.
And tragically, the hole left by that kind of hopelessness is all too easily filled with hatred. This happens during wartime.
Only the presence of God can ward off such hatred and let hope back into people's hearts.
That is why your continuing support for these courageous clergy is so important right now.
The second is salvation...
Your giving today will also enable ACN-supported clergy to go out deeper into their communities, with food truck and mobile chapels, ministering to the souls of those who have not yet allowed God into their hearts.
So when you give today, you also allow the Holy Spirit to work through these priests in their mission to bring lost souls closer to God.
With your offering, you will be opening the hearts across Ukraine, to God's grace.
The third is love...
To truly love God, we must first learn, as Jesus teaches us, to love our neighbours as ourselves. By which He means all people.
Not just those like ourselves. But all.
Not just those on one side of a war, but the suffering and lost on both. This is important, because when peace returns to this region, that is when the serious work must begin.
For the people in Ukraine, the war will end in the heart of each person who let God's love make them whole again.
It is the support like yours that makes this work possible.
