We continue to lift our prayers for the people of Ukraine. Many of you have asked about ways to respond in faith, hope and love to the crisis in that region. I share with you in this email, a way for us to participate in the organized crisis response through the Moravian Board of World Mission.
Bishop Chris Giesler writes, “While we do not have Moravian congregations in Ukraine, folks fleeing the violence are crossing borders into places such as the Czech Republic. Our Moravian partners there are already hosting refugee families and we want to assist them in this ministry of compassionate hospitality”.
Sister Betsy Miller encourages us, “Please visit https://www.moravian.org/mission/ for more information from the Board of World Mission to learn how you can help our brothers and sisters in the Czech Province who are preparing to welcome refugees coming from Ukraine. As Moravians, we know this story deep in our history – as Herrnhut became home to refugees 300 years ago.
Please remain in prayer as the situation continues to unfold, and respond as you are able to the support the work of the Church in that region, at this time.
In the Joy of the Lord,
Linda
