UKRAINE—When Jesus was here on Earth, He met both physical and spiritual needs of the people He met. Following His example, our brethren in Ukraine continue their work of feeding the hungry and helping those in need in their local communities.
Everywhere, there are those in need of some form of assistance, Christian love, and care. That's where Angel's Hands steps in. In cities around Ukraine, this humanitarian organization offers hot meals on a weekly basis, as well as reaches out to those in need. For instance, in Bushtyno, volunteers at the organization helped Granny Hanny by patching up her roof. Other times, their work includes finding clothes for those who have none, raising funds to take care of medical expenses, and thus introducing Jesus' love to those who may never have been open to His Gospel otherwise.
May God continue blessing the work being done in Ukraine by these volunteers. If you would like to help by donating time or means, or if you would simply like to keep up with the work being done, connect with Angel's Hands through Facebook here.
“Pure religion and undefiled before the Father is this: “To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” Good deeds are the fruit that Christ requires us to bear: kind words, deeds of benevolence, of tender regard for the poor, the needy, the afflicted. When hearts sympathize with hearts burdened with discouragement and grief, when the hand dispenses to the needy, when the naked are clothed, the stranger made welcome to a seat in your parlor and a place in your heart, angels are coming very near, and an answering strain is responded to in heaven. Every act of justice, mercy, and benevolence makes melody in heaven. The Father from His throne beholds those who do these acts of mercy, and numbers them with His most precious treasures. “And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels.” Every merciful act to the needy, the suffering, is regarded as though done to Jesus. When you succor the poor, sympathize with the afflicted and oppressed, and befriend the orphan, you bring yourselves into a closer relationship to Jesus.” {CSA 60.1}
