Partner with Us to Bring Bread — and the Bread of Life — to Ukraine

Who we are:

For the past 25 years, we’ve been proclaiming the Gospel through sports ministry, primarily by founding and running the Ukrainian Christian Sports Academy (UCSA). Hundreds of children and their families have heard about Christ through this effort.

But everything changed with the war. Today, our mission continues — in a different form. We are focusing on humanitarian relief and Gospel outreach across Ukraine.

What We Do Now

• Food Distribution & Evangelism:

Every day, our trucks bring food to local churches across Ukraine. In the past two months alone, we’ve sent 100 semi trucks (over 2,000 tons of food), giving thousands of people the opportunity to receive both physical and spiritual bread.

• Gospel in Action:

Our volunteers share the Good News along with each food package. Churches are empowered daily to serve their communities with love and hope.

• UCSA Transformed:

The Sports Academy is now a shelter for displaced people and a warehouse for food distribution. It houses 20 people and functions as a logistical hub.

Additional Ministry Efforts

• Samaritan’s Purse – Emergency Outreach:

Ellina Lesnik serves as a national partner with Samaritan’s Purse, leading regional Gospel-centered humanitarian projects and counseling trauma survivors.

 

• Biblical Counseling Conferences:

We organize large-scale training events across Ukraine to equip churches in helping people with fear, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and grief in wartime. These gatherings reach thousands of pastors, chaplains, volunteers, and church members.

• Hansen Village for Internally Displaced People (IDPs):

Under the leadership of Serhii Lesnik, Hansen Village was established as a long-term solution for families displaced by war. Today, over 500 families have a safe place to live, grow, and receive spiritual care.

• Meetings for IDPs:

We regularly hold gatherings for internally displaced people, providing spiritual encouragement, biblical counseling, and psychological support. These meetings offer a space for healing, connection, and hope.

Our Urgent Need

We created a temporary wartime ministry budget focused on delivering bread and the Bread of Life:

• Fuel for transportation — $5,000

• Facility and vehicle maintenance — $3,500

• Meetings for IDPs (venue, materials, counseling) — $2,000

Total Monthly Need: $10,500

 

We are deeply grateful for our long-time partners already providing $2,000/month. We now need an additional $14,500/month to continue this work.
