In the Fall, we asked REVwords readers to help support Pastor Oleksii and his Christmas programs in Berdychiv.

We met Pastor Oleksii Zabielin when we were in Ukraine in the summer of ’25. Walking together around Lutsk, he shared his dream to provide a special Christmas celebration  for seniors and children.

You gave generously and added to our gift which we donated through Loads of Love to make it possible for his dream to come true.

He created a video to express his gratitude. The best things in life always start with thank you.

So, thank you for giving!

This year we will be working to raise funds to help support trauma-informed discipleship in Ukraine. There has been a tsunami of trauma over the last four years.

When the war is over and all the soldiers return to their families, the need will increase exponentially.

War or no war, we plan to return to Ukraine in November 2026. Nothing says caring like being there.

Post a comment and join the conversation.

Hope grows here.  We share stories that inspire people, build faith, and offer lasting purpose.

We’d love to have you Subscribe to REVwords. We’ll put helpful content into your inbox Mondays and Fridays.
