The following journal entry is from Pastor Andriy, a HART ministry partner who has had a front-row seat near this theatre of war and shares some extraordinary insights into the pain and suffering this conflict has inflicted on Ukrainians. It also demonstrates the incredible courage and compassion Ukrainian Christians display daily - to help refugees and those living in or near the war zones. 

Dear Friends, let me share with you a few episodes from the war. Why? Because we must not forget what is happening in this war and become complacent about it. These 'episodes' are just small puzzle pieces of a larger picture of the tragedy that the "liberators" created in my country of Ukraine. -Pastor Andriy

It's getting hotter and hotter in Donbas. We've been focused on the delivery of drinking water. We are providing about four tons per day.

An elderly lady to whom we delivered water shared: "I lay in bed for three days; I couldn't get up. Probably, I was shell-shocked. No one came to me. And I only had one cup of water left. Then some people came and sold me a bucket of water from the well for 50 hryvnias. I had no other choice, and I was ready to pay all my money for water. A human cannot live without water. Thank you for bringing me water for free. Yesterday I was even able to wash myself in a basin."

Many thanks to all who support our expeditions. In fact, together, we help the survivors survive.
