True Hospitality

24th February this year will mark three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Amid the devastation of this relentless war, God brings hope through his people. Here is a beautiful story from TEN partners, Beginning of Life in Chisinau, Moldova, which was shared on their social media pages.

Open Hearts, Open Homes: Warm Gatherings for Ukrainian Refugees

Hospitality is more than a tradition - it is a way to show love and care. During our session, we explored how different cultures welcome guests. We quickly realised that our understanding of hospitality is shaped by our own beliefs and traditions. What seemed normal in one culture may feel unusual in another.

For Ukrainians, who have found refuge in Moldova, this theme was deeply personal. Moldova has become a welcoming home for many, showing kindness in times of need. But hospitality isn't just about offering food or shelter - it's about opening our hearts to others, no matter who they are.

To bring this lesson to life, our team led by example. Through a special lottery, each host welcomed a guest from the group into their home, experiencing firsthand the beauty of true hospitality. The impact was profound - guests left not just with memories, but with warmth, connection, and a sense of belonging.

During the session, we also created key holders, symbolising that each of us holds the key to opening our homes and hearts. The choice is ours to make.

Bringing Hope to Broken Places

Since the beginning of the invasion, one of our partners from Romania hasn't stopped taking in much-needed aid to people within Ukraine. Here is a video our partner shared with us.

We don't have subtitles but we can tell you that the first lady who speaks is the mayor of the five villages where churches were planted. The second lady who speaks had her house destroyed. She returned to help rebuild the community and she gives thanks for the support and gifts given to her children.

Compassion Ministry in Ukraine (Kherson Region)

Our partner told us that what he witnessed were the greatest needs and worst situations he had seen in his life. Kherson is a region that needs help. Our partner has also expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from TEN. We have been able to provide support from your donations to our Crisis Fund. Thank you so much.
