ECM Update on the Ukraine Crisis
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine this morning, we want to update you about the situation of our ECM workers there and the situation on the field. Read or download the last update about the Ukraine crisis here.
Dear friends,
As you all know, the Russian invasion of Ukraine started this morning, and we want to keep you informed about our ECM workers there and the situation on the field.
The ECMI Crisis Management Team was called to intervene on the 12th February, setting in motion protocols to manage the crisis and calling the ECM network to prayer.
The situation has been evolving rapidly since this morning, but we are in close contact with our ECM workers there and they are safe.
We are working to effectively assist our partners and the Ukrainian Churches in several ways: we are coordinating all communications related to the crisis, both with the team in Ukraine and the wider ECM network; we are also providing member care for our workers involved; finally, we are coordinating the ECM mobilisation efforts to raise financial and prayer support to help with the crisis, more details about this coming soon.
The team and the churches in Ukraine, as well as the ECMI Crisis Management Team, ask for your prayers and support in these difficult times. Please pray for peace for Ukraine.

When war reached the town of Borodianka, Tolik and Lena responded by meeting practical needs and caring for those who had lost so much. Four years later, that ministry has grown into something more. Their vision is to see a thriving church established so their community can discover the hope found in Christ. 
For five years, ECMI workers David, Myriam and Chloë have been building relationships with immigrant families in southern Spain. Now they are taking the next step: creating a welcoming place where friendships can grow, practical needs can be met, and lives can be transformed. 
What began as a devastating displacement through war is becoming an unexpected movement of gospel witness across Europe. Ukrainian believers, carrying deep pain and loss, are also carrying the hope of Christ wherever they go.
