MTW Ukraine Team and Church Leaders Care for the Community in Crisis (VIDEO)
When Ukrainian missionary Masha Shepherd woke up on the morning of February 24 to the news that Russia had invaded Ukraine she was in shock. Until the last moment she believed that the Russian tanks had been there as a scare tactic. It quickly became clear to MTW missionaries and church leaders that people were going to head for the western city of Lviv, and that they needed to step into action. Suddenly scores of traumatized men, women, and children from partner churches across the country were sleeping on the floor in missionaries' houses in Lviv and the magnitude of the crisis became overwhelming. But God provided, one step at a time all along the way, and over time a crisis team formed and plans were put into place to care for many of those overwhelming needs, and to equip others in the process.
