Jarek Jankowski, Lifewords' Global Resources Director has this update:
"The news we read is devestating, the pictures we see are heartbreaking, and the stories we hear from our new Ukrainian friends are horrific. Many of them sound like stories from World War II, about which I learned at school and read in books, and which I heard about from my grandparents, believing that we would never see similar things in this part of the world again...
People in Poland have really opened their hearts and homes - in many locations there was an overflow of volunteers wanting to help, so there were even waiting lists. Churches of all denominations are a really good testimony, showing the Gospel in action - they responded very quickly and are offering accommodation, practical help, Polish lessons, and are helping with formatlities so that our guests can benefit from public aid or start work. We use the term "our guests" to replace "war refugees" and thus avoid adding to their trauma."
