Change the way you give this Christmas and you might just change the WORLD.
In July 2024, a team from Stanwood Foursquare Church went to visit with our partners in Ukraine. Because of the realities of the war, the first thing visitors are invited to see is the memorial for fallen soldiers from each community. As the team was walking through the memorial, Oleksandr Kirichenko was placing a flag on a freshly dug grave. His son died two years ago in battle, and since then he has been caring for families of fallen soldiers. When Oleksandr was introduced to our team, he began to tear up and thanked us for sending the Christmas backpacks to the children under his care. He shared the story of how much joy it brought and how for some, it was the first time they had laughed since the war began.
Let’s partner with United to Help to bring the hope, peace, joy and love of Jesus to children in Ukraine by giving a Christmas backpack specifically designed for them.
