While it is important to acknowledge the pain and suffering that often accompany periods of crisis, the phrase "in the midst of devastation, there is an opportunity for innovation" reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always the potential for positive change and progress.

One church in Western Ukraine, under the leadership of Pastor Rostislav, came up with a novel idea to respond to the devastating effects the war has had on the food supply. They started a small factory producing food for refugees, soldiers, and civilians near the war zones. Months later, their canned goods are recognized as an elite product and are sent all over Ukraine, including to recently liberated towns and cities.

OUR support has been instrumental in helping serve food to thousands of people during this war through Pastor Rostislav and his church. As mentioned in the below video, he is very appreciative not only for the financial support for this food factory but also for the generators we gave them.

"During the blackouts, we wouldn't have been able to do our jobs; our production would have stopped. But you responded to our needs, and you brought us generators. Now, when electricity is cut off, production can continue uninterrupted. The generators save us!"
