In Ukraine the student movement is called - Campus Ukraine. Our vision is “ To build spiritual movements among the students of Ukraine in partnership with the body of Christ.” We are dedicated to reaching the young generation and engage them in spiritual conversations using relevant, modern and fun tools. Also we are passionate about spiritual multiplication and it has been the accent in our ministry in the last 5 years. We use THE FOUR bracelets, WHO AM I project, summer and winter projects like INFINITY and SPEAK OUT to share our vision and train our volunteers to do evangelism and discipleship on their campus and among their peers.
Receiving Needs/Desires
Short term team for projects or specific tasks:
The war has impacted our plans and strategies, it's impacted our lives and brought lots of instability and pain. But our vision stayed the same. We want to see students come to know the Lord and like never before we understand that our students will be the future of our country and a blessing to many others.
English Club is one of the best working tools to engage Ukrainian students in spiritual conversations and direct them to the local student ministry teams to follow up and continue helping them grow in their spiritual journey. Come, join one of our short mission trips to arrange English Clubs in Ukraine.
Sending Opportunities/Desires
What sending is happening right now from your country?
Before the war in 2022 we sent 2 SLM staff to Poland and one staff to Kazakhstan to serve full time and help the local ministries. Since the war started we now have our staff serving in Budapest, Hungary, Romania and Poland
What are your dreams and vision for sending in within the next two years?
Our big desire is to see the war end, we will rebuild our country and will be happy to bless the other countries by sending our missionaries by choice not due to the relocation.
