Dear Pastors and Friends,
For September, our monthly video puts the spotlight on the Kellers, BIEM missionaries who have accumulated much evangelistic experience ministering in Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, and the U.S. Until last year, they were busy sharing the Gospel in Kyiv through various creative outreaches. But then the war came…
The Kellers are still involved in evangelism and ministry to Ukraine, but they are temporarily based in the U.S. In addition to visiting supporting churches and ministering to refugees who have come to the States, their family spent a full month in BIEM’s upstairs guest quarters. Here, they used part of that time to help sort, pack, and organize incoming clothing donations for our next shipment to Ukraine. (They even visited yard sales and persuaded sellers to donate leftover clothing to BIEM as war relief!)
Although we on the home staff of BIEM can and do speak of the great need for war relief, we believe you will appreciate the perspective of the Kellers, coworkers who speak of the needs from firsthand experience.
Like BIEM, international charities have noticed that donations of humanitarian for Ukraine are down from last year. The invasion is no longer shocking news. Yet, Russian missiles and drones continue to bombard homes and businesses. People continue to die even if your evening news doesn’t mention it. The needs are as great as ever. Can you spare a few minutes to watch the Kellers’ update and prayerfully consider how you can help?
Blessings to you!
In Christ,
Sam & Amy Slobodian
