Update: Hope Heats - Christmas Appeal 2025
Thank you for supporting the HOPE HEATS Ukraine Appeal.
We have sent £2500 as an initial gift for the Hope Heats Ukraine Winter Appeal and we will be sending a further trance early in January.
EBF has written to thank us for our generous support! Our donations will ensure that this winter the Baptist churches of Ukraine serve as beacons of hope and warmth this winter.
The two churches are: First Baptist in Borislav and Byruhovytska Baptist Church in Lviv.
First Baptist in Borislav - The pastor is Tsyupko Vasyl Vasylianovych.
Byruhovytska Baptist Church in Lviv - The pastor is Anto Burnistov.
You can download the two twinning certificates in PDF format by clicking the button below. You can also download the two images above for use in PowerPoint slides, so if you have a church or organisation where you may wish to share the info for prayer, this will make it easier.
We would ask that you pray for both these churches throughout the winter, that they would both truly be a place of hope as they welcome their neighbours.
For more information about what God is doing in Ukraine and the EBF region, you can subscribe to the EBF monthly newsletter here. Alternatively, check out the news at EBF website EBF.org or on IBN website www.ibnetorks.org
May Lord bless you over this Christmas season, as we continue to wait and pray for just peace.
With gratitude from both IBN and the EBF team,
Stephen (IBN) and Kadi (EBF).
