SERVING in Ukraine since 2012
Long before the world turned its attention to Ukraine in 2022, Guidelight had already grown deep roots among her people. Our international ministry began in Ukraine in 2012. We have loved and served Ukrainian families and communities with the gospel.
Today, that commitment continues. We stand with our friends and partners in Ukraine through both the ongoing realities of war and the persistent, often overlooked needs of those impacted by disability. Because when the church moves toward those society overlooks, the world sees Jesus — even in the hardest places.
A Country still in need
Ukraine continues to endure the devastating effects of an ongoing conflict. Millions of families have been displaced. Children carry the weight of trauma most adults cannot imagine.
Entire communities are rebuilding from the ground up.In the midst of this, families and individuals impacted by disability face compounding challenges. Russia's deliberate destruction of electricity infrastructure, heating systems, and critical utilities has made even the most basic resources scarce.
For families already navigating disability, the war has made simple human needs—staying warm through freezing winters, preparing food, maintaining hygiene, and keeping safe—profoundly difficult.
The need for gospel-centered care in Ukraine—both humanitarian aid and practical, everyday support continues. Through our Ukrainian partners, churches, and friends we continue to bring the hope of Christ and tangible help to those who need it most.
Gospel-Centered Support, On the Ground
Guidelight partners with local churches, organizations, and trusted friends in Ukraine to provide Christ-centered transformation for those impacted by disability. Everything we do flows through relationships built over more than a decade of faithful presence. Our work includes:
Humanitarian Support
Meeting essential needs as determined by our local ministry partners and churches. One hundred percent of gifts to our Ukraine fund go directly toward providing for the practical and spiritual needs of the Ukrainian people.
ENCOURAGING FAMILIES
Coming alongside families navigating disability with biblical hope and practical support, especially those experiencing the additional burdens of displacement and conflict.
Stand with Ukraine
Your generosity makes this work possible. One hundred percent of gifts to Guidelight’s Ukraine fund go directly toward essential needs and ongoing, gospel-centered ministry — as determined by our trusted local partners on the ground.
Whether you give, pray, or spread the word — you are joining a community that refuses to look away from the people God has called us to love.
Pray with Us for Ukraine
The people of Ukraine need sustained prayer. Would you join us in lifting up:
Children and families living through the ongoing effects of war — for protection, provision, and healing from trauma.
Families navigating disability — for access to resources, community, and the hope that comes from knowing they are not alone.
Those in institutional care — children and adults with disabilities who are often the most forgotten. Pray their basic needs are met and that they encounter the love of Christ.
Our local partners and churches — for endurance, wisdom, and courage as they serve on the front lines of ministry every day.
Peace and restoration — for an end to war and for the rebuilding of communities, families, and lives across Ukraine.
