Ukrainian Crisis
Thanks to your support, Acts of Mercy’s impact in Ukraine has been significant. We have distributed $3 million worth of medical equipment and $200,000 worth of medical aid to help over 1,700 people in Kyiv and the surrounding areas. In addition, we have provided nourishment, hope, and Biblically-based curriculum to public schools, organized vacation Bible schools and sports camps in collaboration with the local government, and supported over 100 Ukrainian war effort volunteers. Throughout the year our humanitarian aid teams have made meaningful connections, gained the trust of national partners, and have seen real change in Eastern Ukraine and Kyiv. This has all been possible because of our hardworking local partners.
With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that Liza Kuleshova, whom many of you may have met on a deployment, will be joining us as Acts of Mercy Ukraine Field Coordinator, overseeing our efforts on the ground.

Our response since the beginning…
We have deployed 48 teams to Poland, Ukraine, and to the Poland-Ukraine border - serving in very practical ways, praying for people, and sharing the love of Jesus.
Since February 2022, we have responded in multiple ways: providing the initial phase of trauma care to both adults and children (as well as training nationals in how to provide trauma care), operating a kids center in one of the largest refugee centers in Poland, serving on the border those who are fleeing the ravage of war, bringing awareness regarding the ongoing threat of traffickers (in partnership with Unbound Now), and feeding some of the poorest families in Ukraine (as assessed by the Ukrainian Social Services Department).
Summer 2023, we launched teams to do sports camps that serve younger children and teens - all with the assistance of churches and government leaders.
In all that we do, national partners are instrumental in how we engage with Ukrainians and they are consistently assisting us in evaluating and determining the most fruitful locations for sharing the love of Jesus and making disciples.
