Serve Ukraine Update
To our Church Family and the many friends and Churches outside of our Church I would like to say thank you for your interest in Serve Ukraine and supporting the ministry of Serve Ukraine since the war started last February. Serve Ukraine has been greatly supported over the past year and has been a blessing to so many people and Churches across Ukraine. I would like to give an update on a few changes that have been made.
Our Ukrainian partner, Slavik Rymskyi has done a fantastic job in the coordination of raising funds and distributing those funds to the many needs across Ukraine. As Serve Ukraine continues to grow the decision has been made for Kingdom Bridges to be the collector and distributor of the Serve Ukraine Funds. Slavik Rymskyi has worked as a volunteer coordinator since the war started but He is now going to be working for Kingdom Bridges as the Serve Ukraine Director.
At a fundamental level nothing is changing in how Serve Ukraine operates. All funds given to Serve Ukraine go to ministry points on the ground in Ukraine. The only difference is that the funds will be handled through Kingdom Bridges Ministries instead of through the office of First Baptist Robertsdale.

Thank you for your continued support of Serve Ukraine and the many people this ministry serves in Ukraine.

“Serve Ukraine has been important to me and our Church family because it has given us a way to directly support the people that we know and love in Ukraine. When the war started, I felt so helpless to think about what my friends and our partner Church were going through and not having a way to help them. Serve Ukraine changed that.
Now we have an avenue to support our partner Church directly and get relief to the people who need it the most. It also created an avenue for Churches and individuals to support the work going on in Ukraine. The most important thing about Serve Ukraine is it doesn't exist only to support relief efforts but to also make sure people are hearing the Gospel as the relief is provided” – Josh Lilly, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Robertsdale, Al. 
“Serve Ukraine has offered our church an additional, productive, and efficient financial pipeline through which we have been able to provide direct assistance and supplies to evangelical churches in Ukraine that are serving, sheltering, feeding, clothing, providing medical care, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with thousands of people being adversely affected by the Russian invasion.
Our church has also been very impressed with the trustworthy accounting procedure and regular reporting back to our church family of how our financial contributions are being used on the ground. I would highly recommend that any church prayerfully consider a partnership with Serve Ukraine.” - Dr. Gil McKee, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Tuscaloosa, Al |
It is not a coincidence that I was in the USA before the beginning of the war in Ukraine. When the war broke out, I made a decision to evacuate my family to the USA and thus started our involvement with Serve Ukraine. I feel honored to coordinate these efforts from the USA and deliver timely assistance to my people.

"I spent over two weeks on the ground in Moldova and Ukraine during the first weeks of the war. What I encountered was surreal. Thousands were waiting in lines as long as fifteen miles to escape war in Ukraine. Most empty buildings became shelters for refugees. In Ukraine, cities were besieged, surrounded, and cut off from essential supplies. These sights were heartbreaking. I also saw beauty. The church in Ukraine and Moldova were the first on the scene. They rose to the occasion to transport refugees, feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless, and provide desperately needed supplies in Ukraine. They were able to do this because you gave. Whenever a church needed resources to carry out its ministry, Serve Ukraine was there to meet the need. When asked if we could help, I was able to say yes, because of your faithful support of Serve Ukraine. The needs are still present; many are worse than in the first weeks of the war. Thanks for your faithfulness. Please keep praying for the people of Ukraine. If you can help us continue serving the people of Ukraine, consider giving; when you give, all you give goes to the need. Serve Ukraine is a partnership of over twenty churches, non-profits, and thousands of people like yourself. Our goal is to serve in Jesus' name those suffering from this unjust, evil war.”
