As soon as the quarantine restrictions were lifted up a little bit, we immediately used this opportunity to carry out evangelization on the street. Sermon, a lot of music, children's program, communication. At the end, there was a treat: pilaf, tea, coffee, sweets and free bread. People are tired of sitting at home and gladly accepted our invitation.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine, 50,000 children were returned to their relatives from boarding schools. Some of them are children with disabilities. Many children returned to families where their parents did not expect them or were not ready to have them at home. Children from more or less comfortable boarding schools returned home where terrible conditions are: no light, no water, parents drink, no finances to buy the most necessary things. So, the idea came up to help such families not only with grocery sets but also with hot dinners for children. Due to the difficult financial conditions in the family and the irresponsibility of parents, many children do not eat normal hot food.

Quarantine in the country and in the world has only complicated the situation in poor and large families.

Thank God, we all are healthy and are able to visit families without obstacles. Each package of products for these families was like a God's gift! During quarantine, our service to people has not stopped!

The Pokrovsk town is an hour drive from the war zone. Here gunshots and the fall of shells are no longer heard! The population of the town is about 80,000 people: during the war years, the population has increased due to refugees from Donetsk. So, the need and necessity for opening of a new church appeared.  At first, it was a place with a small group of people where refugees could receive grocery help, as well as spiritual support. Over time, the number of visitors increased from 20 to 70 people, and new people constantly come. Therefore, there was a need for their own building. God blessed us by the purchase of an old house in the city center.

The operation this year, called "Black Gold" is over! We are glad that we were able to buy and distribute 57 tons of coal to needy families! We are glad that we did it before frosts! Thank God for every dollar donated to this good deed!

This is statistics of the Christmas marathon in the zone of military conflict, which we held from January 7th to 16th. This year, our children took an active part and helped us in all these Christmas events.

The first ten tons are delivered to poor families, big families, churches with "dining rooms" where they feed the old and children.
