Last Spring, thousands of refugees fled Ukraine to Romania seeking safety from the war. Our staff was faced with a question: "how do we care for these families?"

How can we share the Gospel with refugees and help them, if we don’t meet their practical needs? Those who have fled their home country of Ukraine may lack the necessary services we take for granted—such as the dentist.

In last week's Sunday Story, we shared RtC's response to the war in Ukraine (you can watch that video by clicking this link). We saw the faithful hearts of God's people come alongside those fleeing to safety.

One of the most incredible things we've seen over the course of the last 2 months has been how much God uses ordinary, faithful people to fulfill his mission on Earth. One example of this is the children's ministry of the First Church of Christ in Xenia, Ohio. Check out this incredible story sent to us by Allison Phillips!

The church service had ended, and we were invited to stay for a fellowship dinner in the church basement. I had just preached on “prayer” and the service had been emotional for me. I was there with a team from the United States as well as the Romanian congregation and Ukrainian refugees. I had used the hymn “How Great Thou Art” in an illustration, and the pastor ended up using it as the closing song for the service. My eyes were tear filled as three languages sang, “then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee. How great thou art!”
