Hope For The Hopeless
Since 2019 every Friday we have gone to the train station in Ternopil, rain or shine. We provide church on the street and a warm meal. All are welcomed and no one is excluded. We are just disciples of Jesus following his example.
Peaceful Warrior
This is an evangelistic project aimed at working with military personnel, veterans, youth, and children. It is our response to the challenges of war. We focus on sports rehabilitation and recovery. Physical training is combined with spiritual renewal and social adaptation.
The overall goal of the project is to integrate God’s values into the training process through various methods, in order to raise warriors who know how to defend themselves and others, while striving for peace.
Our example is Jesus — the ultimate warrior, defender, and intercessor. It is about combining physical strength with gentleness and resilience of spirit. It is about fighting not against people, but against one’s own weaknesses, fear, and sin.
The project operates in three areas, each with its own objective:
- Working with veterans: restoring mobility, addressing PTSD through physical activity, building a healthy community, and involving veterans in training alongside young people.
- Working with youth: creating a safe space where young people can release their emotions, build character, and socialize at a time when they are forced to live in a constant state of stress.
- Working with children: creating a safe haven where every child feels protected and cared for by God, reducing stress levels, and teaching basic healthy movement skills and the fundamentals of self-defense
Orphan Ministry
We are a team that has been working with orphaned children for many years. Our mission is to give them love, support, and a chance for a better future. We regularly organize events in children’s homes, boarding schools, and a rehabilitation center. Our work is not just about one-off events, but about a systematic approach to protecting children’s rights.
Every week, we hold sessions where we study the Bible, play active games, learn verses from scripture, and sing songs, praising God.We have a mentoring program where we dedicate one-on-one time with each child, providing a personalized approach. We see how God touches and changes the hearts of children. Through our activities, they find hope, learn to forgive, build strong relationships, and we witness their spiritual growth.” And many of those we have worked with have now found loving Christian foster families.
In addition, we organize holiday events and a summer camp, filling the children’s lives with positive experiences. “Do you want to be a part of this ministry? Join us through financial contributions. We will be grateful for every hryvnia.” “Do you want to be a part of this ministry? Join us through financial
Veteran Taxi
Is more than just transportation; it’s a tangible expression of love, gratitude, and service to our defenders. This service is designed to help military personnel who have been injured and who use wheelchairs after returning from the front lines. We want to be there for those who have sacrificed a part of their health for our freedom. Often, after an injury, even a simple trip to the hospital, rehabilitation center, train station, government office, or even just into the city becomes a difficult challenge. That’s why we created transportation that allows people to safely enter with their wheelchairs.
But our service is not just about getting someone from point A to point B. It’s about the opportunity to leave the hospital room again, see the city, meet with loved ones, take care of personal matters, or simply feel that you are not alone.
We believe that love is not just words. Love is expressed through concrete actions: helping, providing transportation, offering support, listening, and being there.”Bear one another’s burdens, and thus you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
That’s how we see “Veteran Taxi”: serving those who served Ukraine. After a soldier returns from war, their struggle doesn’t end. A different path begins – treatment, rehabilitation, adaptation, and a return to life. And on this path, they should not be alone. “Veteran Taxi” is our small way of saying to every defender: “We remember what you did. We see you. We are here for you.”
