Dear UETS friends and partners,
On this sad day marking the fourth anniversary of the unprovoked full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, we pause with heavy hearts…
We remember the tears shed over the loss of friends, the effects of deadly attacks, and the countless lives changed forever. These years have brought immense suffering to our nation. Yet in the midst of sorrow, we have never been alone.
We want to sincerely thank you — both our longstanding partners and new friends from different countries — for standing with us. Your prayers, your encouraging messages, and your faithful support have strengthened us more than words can express.
Through your participation, we are privileged to serve as God’s instruments in a time of great darkness: evacuating the helpless, comforting the hurting, burying the dead, helping families in need, and bringing hope to those overwhelmed by fear and loss.
Your support has also enabled us to continue training pastors, counselors, and chaplains who are now ministering to wounded hearts and weary souls on the front lines — in churches, hospitals, refugee centers, and near combat zones. The impact of this shared mission extends far beyond what we can see.
We are especially grateful to those of you who were brave enough to visit us in person during this difficult time. Your physical presence was a powerful testimony of solidarity. It reminded us that the Body of Christ transcends borders and that we are truly one family in Him.
On this difficult anniversary, we thank God for you. Your prayers and support continue to sustain us. Please know that your partnership is bearing fruit — even in the hardest soil.
With deep appreciation,
UETS faculty and staff
