Family boxes have been already spread throughout Ukraine, bringing joy and support to every corner of the country. Even more families were able to feel the touch of God’s love and care. YFC coordinators and Day Centers’ leaders do not just deliver food packages – they bring the Good News of Jesus Christ, giving people hope, spiritual support and sincere support. Through this initiative, we strive to show every family that they are not alone, and that God’s love and blessings are always with them. [...]
We are grateful to our friends who are always with us. [...]
Over the course of two days, three important topics of service were covered through seminars, workshops, and various activities:
⁃ together with God
⁃ with the church and the team;
⁃ together with friends and partners.
The forum brought together more than 150 day center ministers from different parts of the country.
It was a blessed time of encouragement, motivation, sharing, learning, equipping with ideas and resources, worship and prayer together, and the feeling that you are not alone.
Together, we are a powerful tool in God’s hands to influence the future generation and achieve our common goal of leading young people to Christ. [...]

Nazar is 17 years old. He is an active and diligent assistant in two Day Centers located in the city of Khmelnytskyi. His journey with ministry started with a Christian summer camp in 2019. It was his first time attending a camp, and he enjoyed it incredibly. Later that year, at the post-camp meeting, all interested children were invited to the Day Center, and Nazar also expressed his desire to attend and started participating in the meetings. [...]
In the Day Center, Nazar made new friends, did his homework, improved his studies, and most importantly, as he notes, he learned who God truly is. He participated in the activities for two years until the war broke out in Ukraine, and the Day Center’s operations were halted. Later, a new team was formed, and Nazar’s friends invited him to assist with meetings and work with children. [...]
Friends are a treasure that we always carry with us, and new acquaintances are windows to the world of unforgettable adventures and memories. In our group of day care centers, we are always happy to make new acquaintances and opportunities to strengthen our relationships. Recently, we had the honor of meeting the children’s centers “VitoClub” and “Emilchyno” at an introductory meeting on the topic “Check your foundation”. 65 teenagers came together to enjoy socializing, fun games and crafts, and our delicious lunch. Victor Ovsiychuk, responsible for the Emilchyno сhildrens` centre, spoke about how a strong foundation is important for our lives, and Jesus Christ can become this foundation. We were glad to share experiences and to pray together for further ministry for children and teenagers. It was a truly unforgettable meeting that strengthened our relationships and enriched our hearts! [...]
This meeting with the teenagers was a reminder for us that our relationships with friends are extremely important, and a strong foundation built on love and faith in Christ is the basis for a happy and eternal life. We are very grateful to the “VitoClub” and “Emilchyno” children’s centers for this opportunity to meet and spend time together. It was incredibly important for our group and we are looking forward to the next meeting, because we realized that for us new acquaintances can be very interesting and even grow into real friendships. We know that friends are those who will support you in a difficult moment, share joy, and help make your dreams come true. We are glad to have had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful group of people and look forward to the next meeting to continue building our strong relationships and getting to know the Lord together.
