Hope Force International has sent multiple teams to Romania in recent months where we are working in collaboration with a local ministry, Fight for Freedom, to provide relief and shelter for Ukrainian refugees. In particular, a large Soviet-era housing complex is being renovated that, once completed, can accommodate up to 300 refugees.
Our team has learned that an orphanage in Odessa, Ukraine, needs to relocate due to an increased vulnerability from the war. The orphanage consists of over 100 people -- including staff and their children. The orphanage provides care for children ages 3 months to four years old, many who have special needs. Our partners, along with Hope Force responders, have been working feverishly on the housing complex to receive these very vulnerable refugees. Please join us in praying for every obstacle to be removed and that a clear pathway to safety and hope will be realized.
We invite you to watch the video below, fresh from Romania. Joey and Laura Stoltzfus, featured in the video, served many years in Ukraine and have a depth and breadth of relationships that they cherish to this day.
