From Service to Salvation: Sasha’s Journey in Borodianka, Ukraine
Sasha joined as a helper, but through simple acts of service, she encountered the Gospel in action—and made a life-changing decision. Read how God is working in Ukraine!
When a new year begins, we look forward to reaching the goals we set. In Borodianka, Ukraine, the team had a number of hopes for 2024 which focused on reaching out to children, young people, families and the military.
And they succeeded in many ways through 90 children’s meetings, two baptisms, a summer camp with 100 attendees, and retreats for military personnel.
But often, even when we are most focused on our target audience, God is at work among the helpers. Local churches received much help from the local community, and one such helper was Sasha.
“During this year of service, I have received wonderful blessings from God,” Sasha said. “I was filled with the courage to make a very important decision to accept Jesus Christ into my heart.”
It was through simple acts of service with believers that Sasha was able to not only hear the Gospel, but see it in action in her own community.
Praise God for the many lives that have been changed through the believers in Borodianka. Let’s pray that many more people, like Sasha, put their trust in our savior, Jesus Christ in 2025.
In a neighbourhood of Tirana, Albania, mothers and caregivers of people with intellectual disabilities are finding something they rarely experience — support, encouragement, and a community that understands their daily reality. 
When the task ahead feels bigger than the resources available, it can be tempting to focus on what is missing. Yet God often calls His people to move forward not with great strength, but with the strength they already have — trusting Him to do the rest.
