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

Being in the right place at the right time is a great skill in life. These moments don't always work out for me. But they happen. Today was one of those days.
I decided to visit friends in Galitsinovka (Donbas region). On the way, I thought about how nice it would be to get to Krasnogorovka too. I was curious about who still remained and the situation there.
So, I arrived in Galitsinovka - and was having fellowship with some Christian brothers over tea. The sound of military shelling was pretty close. I was surprised to meet a brother from Krasnogorovka among them! He shared with us that they are desperate for a generator, as there is no electricity in the city. Bingo! I happened to have a brand-new generator in my car! I planned to take it to another town, but it will definitely be more needed here.
Then it turned out that several of my friends take care of abandoned animals in their city. Bingo again! I have dog food in my car! It was also intended for another place, but it is clearly more needed here. You should have seen how much joy it brought these cat and dog people! It was as if I had given each of them an expensive gift.
Friends, with your help, together, we have already provided people in the war zone with six generators. I want to place them exactly where they will be most needed. The minimum task is to provide all water wells with a backup power source. It seems that we are successfully coping with this task.
Friends, God blesses people through people. Through you and us. And it's very cool. We are grateful to everyone involved. May the Almighty God reward you a hundredfold.
