Thanks to HART supporters, we purchased gas cylinders, gas stoves, household cleaning supplies, warm blankets, flashlights, and food; and I had the privilege of delivering these to the recently liberated villages of Chornobaivka, Muzykivka, Komyshany, and Posad-Pokrovske (all adjacent to Kherson City).
 
These folks who experience missile attacks daily and live without light and heat were extremely happy to receive the items/supplies they needed most. And more importantly, they extended heartfelt thanks to us (HART) for remembering them and not abandoning them during such a difficult time. 

Sadly, almost 90% of the church members in the village of Chornobaivka were forced to leave their village due to the life-threatening situation under Russian occupation. Only the main part of the church team, Pastor Serhii and his wife and two families, remained. Nevertheless, 120 local residents now attend church meetings. This local Baptist Church is the only religious community in the village where people can receive material and spiritual help. 
 
Because I am from Kherson myself, it breaks my heart to see how much pain and suffering is being endured by people in and around this city.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each of you for helping us support these brothers and sisters in Christ. May God richly bless you.
