For over 15 years, God has been using Arise! Ukraine to assist orphanages in Ukraine by feeding, clothing, and caring for the Ukrainian children. This is only possible through the support and prayers of our partners.
It is our prayer that by the age of 16, each child will know Christ as Savior and follow Him as Lord..
