receive no help at all. We build new church buildings, and new extensions, trying to give the people places of worship, we have just finished building a new church building on the Ukrainian Russian border, before the people were crammed into a small house, now they have a new building that holds 250 people. We are building a new church extension in the City of Kharkov, this is the only church in an area that holds 70,000 people. We are building an extension to benefit the elderly and the sick, these people live out in the country, and have no one to care for them, so they will be brought into the home and looked after We help the people by buying minibuses for the churches, the church can then to go to where the people are, most of our work with the sick and elderly is out in the country, so transport is very badly needed, this means that the sick can be taken to the doctor, or hospital when the need arises. We also benefit the people through sending containers of humanitarian aid to them, for the hospitals, we send hospital equipment, beds, mattresses, ultra sound equipment, incubators, etc. For the orphans we send new clothes and new shoes, plus school equipment. For the prisoners we send furniture for the new buildings that we have helped to build, plus financial help. We also help in the drug & alcohol rehab, by providing finances, furniture, clothing, and much more. In the schools, we provide finances, humanitarian aid, furniture, we also help to advance their English language skills. In all of our areas of work, we help by sending containers of aid to relief the poverty, we also evangelise in all of those areas.
