Sasha, Irinka, and their children fled from Ukraine with no contacts, family, or friends in the west. Grandma, sister, sister's daughter … they all got out of Ukraine.
Your gifts have helped feed and clothe them!
They escaped the war but had nowhere to go. Our church in Bonyhad took them in and we're helping them rebuild their lives.
Rebuilding your life in another country starts with applying for a "Green Card". A work permit is the foundation for everything else.If your email did not show the pictures, CLICK HERE

miracle at the immigration office
Yesterday, Pastor Tibi and I took Sasha's extended family to the immigration office to start the process. The process can take months, but miraculously, the entire family got through in just one day.
Amazingly … the Immigration Office stayed open for us two hours past closing time … just so our group could leave with ID cards in hand !!
When has any government office or Bank kept working … long after closing time !!
Two hours after closing time, the computers were still running, cameras taking pictures, laminating machines still putting out cards, and the office workers were still stamping and filing documents !!

Everyone has their “Green Card” !!
A residency card is how a foreigner becomes part of society. Sasha can start work at the job that Pastor Tibi found for him. Irinka can start talking with the school system about all the kids. All of them can get medical cards so that if someone gets sick they can go to the doctor.
This little laminated card is the beginning of a return to normal life!

As you can imagine, there is an incredible sense of relief and a wave of joy that sweeps over you when the Immigration Officer hands you your residency permit. These photos give you a sense of how they are feeling!
Sasha’s family is a huge step closer to returning to a life that's not just running from the war.
What a change! Running and hiding have been replaced by planning and possibilities!
As the “Green Cards” started being laminated and handed out, one by one, the excitement in the waiting area was palpable !!
Please continue to "Pray Without Ceasing" for the refugees and the tragic situation in Ukraine.
There is a massive spiritual dimension to what is happening. No matter how hard we try and how much we do in the physical, your prayers are vital!
Thanks so much for your love and support!!
Blessings,
Allen & Katy, Directors, Harvest Eastern Edge
