Heaven Touching Earth

  • Our Pastors, Chaplains and Leaders ministering in the Valley of Dry Bones

    Today, one of our partner pastors and a military chaplain visited families of soldiers who are currently listed as Missing in Action. In their community alone, there are more than 200 such families. Together, they are working to visit each household, delivering food and hygiene supplies while offering prayer, encouragement, and the hope of Christ.

    During one visit, they met a family carrying an especially heavy burden. One son is currently missing in action, and another has spent more than three years on the front lines of the war. The physical and emotional toll of combat has been significant. Like so many veterans across Ukraine, he is struggling with the lasting effects of war and carries wounds that cannot be seen.

    The family shared openly about their grief, uncertainty, and exhaustion. The mother wept as she spoke about her missing son and the daily struggle of not knowing his fate. Yet even in the midst of heartbreak, there was an opportunity to pray together, listen to their story, and remind them that they are not alone.

    Ministry in The Valley

    While these realities are heartbreaking, this is exactly where our Kingdom Bridges Network churches are choosing to serve. Pastor Valentin, one of our key ministry partners in Ukraine, was with us during our Partners Event this past April. During his visit, he shared a powerful message from Ezekiel’s vision of the Valley of Dry Bones and described how he and many other Ukrainian pastors are ministering in what often feels like a modern-day valley of dry bones. It was one of the most impactful messages shared during our gathering, and I would strongly encourage you to take the time to listen to it. See the video below.

    Our churches are walking into these valleys every day. They are serving as the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing practical help to hurting families while faithfully sharing the Good News of the Gospel. They are entering homes filled with grief, fear, and uncertainty and offering the only hope that can truly sustain people through such difficult days—the hope found in Jesus Christ.

    Together with your support our network of churches in Ukraine, are seeing heaven touch earth—transforming lives and communities one heart at time through showing and sharing the Gospel of Jesus.

    Across Ukraine, families are coming to church for the first time. Men and women who never considered faith are asking questions about God. People who have lost nearly everything are discovering that Christ is enough. Individuals are responding to the Gospel, placing their faith in Jesus, and following Him in baptism. In the midst of war, we are witnessing spiritual renewal. We are seeing light shine in the darkness and beauty emerge from ashes.The needs remain overwhelming. Every community where our Kingdom Bridges churches serve is filled with thousands of hurting, displaced, grieving, and war-weary people. The opportunities for ministry are immense. Yet our pastors continue to rise each day, stepping into difficult places with courage, compassion, and unwavering faith.

    Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving. Thank you for standing with these churches as they serve on the front lines of both humanitarian and Gospel ministry.

    Because of your partnership, families are receiving care, communities are finding hope, churches are being strengthened, and lives are being transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for Pastor Valentin, our network pastors, church leaders, chaplains, and volunteers. Pray that God would strengthen them, protect them, and use them to bring many more people to faith in Christ. Even in the midst of war, we believe God is at work, bringing beauty from ashes, renewal from brokenness, and hope to a nation in desperate need of His love.

    Every Dollar Makes a Difference
    Whether it’s $25 a month or $25,000, your support helps Ukrainian churches bring food, care, and the hope of Jesus to those suffering through war.
    In the midst of darkness, the Church is rising. Lives are being transformed, people are coming to faith, and we are witnessing beauty from ashes.
    Thank you for standing with them.

    Thank you for helping us see heaven touch earth in Ukraine.


    With gratitude and hope,

  • While the world’s headlines may have moved on, the war in Ukraine has not. Every day, drones and bombs still target Ukrainian cities, often striking power grids and leaving homes, schools, and businesses operating on just a few hours of electricity a day. In the midst of this turmoil, the most vulnerable victims are the children—children who have now endured three years of sirens, bomb shelters, and disrupted schooling.

    A Place of Refuge Taken Away from Ukraine’s Children

    This is Salome—a bright, gifted young Ukrainian girl who speaks multiple languages and plays several instruments.
    Her love for learning is unmistakable, and her potential is limitless. But for years now, much of her schooling has taken place under the ground, in bomb shelters, during what should have been ordinary school days.

    Then the unimaginable happened. Just days after students left for summer break, two hypersonic missiles struck her school and destroyed it completely.

    Today, Salome is back in class—but every morning she carries a fear no child should ever have to bear. In Ukraine, when the sirens sound, it doesn’t always mean “take shelter.” Sometimes it means the missiles will hit.

    This is the reality for Ukrainian children and their families. Even school is no longer a safe place.

    A Nation in Need

    In Ukraine, many schools can only operate if they have bomb shelters. This means half of the schools remain closed, and the ones that are open run in shifts. Children either attend school for half a day in the morning or half a day in the afternoon, spending the rest of their time in fear or sheltering from attacks. Schools have been bombed and destroyed, and some days, children spend entire school days in shelters rather than classrooms.

    On top of that, the orphan crisis in Ukraine has worsened. Each month, hundreds of new orphans enter a system that’s already strained to the breaking point. With social networks and care structures largely collapsed under the weight of war, there simply isn’t a place for these children to turn.

    “God, I thank You that we are all alive. I ask You that we would not be bombed today.”

    Lera a Student at one of our Restoration Centers the night before dozens of drones attacked her neighborhood.
    Children like Lera find a place of love and care, at our Restoration Centers. We five restorations centers throughout the war torn regions of Ukraine. You are helping care for hundreds of children like Lera everyday.

    This is where Kingdom Bridges is stepping in. Through our Children’s Restoration Centers, hosted by five partner churches in Ukraine, we’re offering a lifeline. These centers fill the gaps in the children’s day when they’re not in school. They provide a hot meal, a safe space, caring adults to listen and pray with them, fun activities, life skills training, and tutoring. For many of these children, it’s the only place where they experience stability and love.

    By supporting our Christmas Miracle Match, you’re helping us keep these five centers running and enabling us to open even more in the new year. We can’t do it without your prayers and support, but together, we can bring hope to Ukraine’s children at a time they need it most.

    Every dollar makes a difference.
    Whether it’s $25 or $25,000, your gift helps us:
    Support and sustain our Restoration Centers
    Provide safety, stability, and hope for vulnerable children
    You can make a one-time donation that will be matched, or—what we hope many will do—join us by starting a crowdfunding campaign.
    Simply use the button on our Christmas Miracle Match website to give or launch your crowdfunding team.
    Together, we can create a miracle for the children of Ukraine.

  • A PATH Opening to the Most Vulnerable in Moldova

    Over the last few years, we’ve been hard at work building a coalition — a network of hope — to reach out to some of the most vulnerable in Eastern Europe. Your prayers and support have made this possible, and today I want to share a powerful update on what God is doing through the PATH Network in Moldova.

    A Nation in Need

    In Moldova, hundreds of adolescent, at-risk, and orphaned teens are released from state care as early as age 14. With no support system, the majority fall into tragic cycles of trafficking, addiction, imprisonment, or suicide before reaching adulthood. The issue is not just abandonment — it’s the lack of a path toward independent, abundant living.

    That’s where you have helped change the story.

    Building the Bridge

    Together, as one team in Kingdom partnership, we’re seeing heaven touch earth—transforming lives and communities one step at a time.

    Our newest residential home with eleven young ladies on the path

    This is one of our PATH homes for girls, where orphaned and at-risk young women are now living together in safety. They are learning life skills, sharing meals, studying the Word, and being mentored by caring house parents. Each smile represents a life that could have been lost but is now being restored.

    Our local leaders meet weekly with these young women to disciple, mentor, and guide them on their journey toward independence. These moments are filled with prayer, laughter, and hope — a picture of what redemption looks like in community.

    Ten Young Men Now On The Path to Independent, Abundant Living

    And it’s not just the girls. Our boys’ PATH home, known as ReStart House, is also thriving. These young men are discovering purpose, responsibility, and the love of Christ through daily discipleship and skill development. Each one has a story of loss and trauma, but now they’re finding healing and a future.

    A Movement Taking Root

    After years of prayer, planning, and partnership, the PATH Network is no longer just a vision — it’s a living, growing movement that is restoring lives in Moldova. Every meal shared, every class taught, and every prayer prayed is a seed of transformation that you’ve helped plant.

    A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and I think this one speaks volumes about why we do what we do.

    Each of these young men has a story that could bring you to your knees. Stories of loss, abandonment, and pain that most of us can hardly imagine. But today, through the work of the PATH Network and the bridges we’re building together through Kingdom Bridges Ministries, their story is being rewritten.

    These boys now live in what we call the Restart Home—a place that looks and feels very different from anything they’ve ever known. Many orphan care programs, even Christian ones, focus on providing housing, meals, and basic care. While those are essential, they often overlook a deeper question: Are these young people being prepared for independent living?

    Without that step—without the chance to heal, to grow, to develop life and faith skills—many orphans remain stuck in the same cycle they came from, just a few years older. That’s why the Restart Home is so different. It’s not just a shelter; it’s a launchpad for transformation. Here, these young men receive discipleship, mentoring, education, and practical training to help them build healthy, self-sustaining lives.

    And perhaps the most meaningful moment captured in this photo is this: for many of them, this was the first time they’ve ever owned a Bible of their own.
    Holding God’s Word in their hands, they’re discovering not only hope for this life but eternal life in Christ.

    This picture is the “why” behind every prayer, every gift, and every partnership. It’s what happens when heaven touches earth—one life at a time.

    Looking Ahead: The Path Continues

    The next major phase of our work — the Summit Center, is the next step in the PATH Network — the bridge between our residential homes and full independence. Beginning in January 2026, the young people currently living in our PATH homes will start attending classes and trainings there. They’ll receive guided instruction, counseling, mentoring, and tutoring, all designed to prepare them for the next stage of life.

    This program is not just about education — it’s about equipping them to live healthy, Christ-centered, independent lives. Over time, as they graduate from the PATH homes, these young adults will begin moving into independent apartments surrounding the Summit Center. There, they’ll participate in job training and job placement programs, learning to budget, work, and live responsibly — supported by mentors and the larger Kingdom Bridges family.

    This network is growing.
    The vision is becoming reality.
    And the movement is spreading.

    We believe a day is coming when the cycle of abandonment and despair among the most vulnerable youth in Eastern Europe will be reversed — when we will truly see heaven touch earth. Through the PATH Network, these young people are finding healing, purpose, and the chance to live abundant lives in Christ.

    But we can’t do it without you.

    Your prayers, your partnership, and your generosity have brought us this far — and we’re moving forward in faith to see even more lives transformed. As we approach the end of the year, would you prayerfully consider making a one time special gift or building a team for crowdfunding  to help us continue this work? With our Christmas Miracle Match we can raise $100,000 and see life change for oprhans in Moldova and Ukraine.

    Every dollar makes a difference.
    Whether it’s $25 or $25,000, each gift helps us:
    Support and sustain our residential homes,
    Fund the ongoing development of the Summit Center,
    Expand capacity to open new homes for the thousands still waiting. We’ve already received heartbreaking videos of young people begging for a chance — showing us where they’re living, pleading simply to have a place to belong.

    For many there’s no one else to care for them. Together, we can change that.

    We’re building this the right way — strong, sustainable, and ready to multiply. But we need your continued help to keep moving forward.

    From Pastor Jeff’s Desk

    Friends, thank you for standing with us. Your prayers and generosity are literally changing futures—one son, one daughter at a time. As we press forward in faith, we’re asking the Lord to multiply this work so every young person who’s waiting can step onto a path toward life in Christ.

  • Shepherds in the Storm: The Pastors Holding Ukraine Together
    A group of 12 people, including children and adults, stand together on a balcony overlooking a river at sunset in Cherkasy, Ukraine. The scene captures a moment of unity and support amidst challenging times.
    When nine orphans were left at their door, Pastor Michael and his wife didn’t turn them away—they made them family.

    In the city of Cherkasy, Ukraine—just around 100 miles from the front lines of war—Pastor Michael Kuzin and his wife have opened their home and hearts to nine orphaned children, in addition to raising their own. This is not an isolated act. Across Ukraine, pastors are stepping in where the state cannot. They are preaching the Gospel, caring for widows, leading humanitarian relief, and—most urgently—becoming fathers and mothers to children left without anyone.

    Recently, Pastor Michael and his wife took in four more children who had nowhere else to go. They arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs. One of them, Adele, is just 7 years old, starting school in a new language, already calling Michael and his wife “Mom” and “Dad.”

    The Ukrainian social system is overwhelmed and broken. No government support is coming for months. School has started. Winter is coming. The needs are immediate and unavoidable—jackets, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, a bed to sleep in, and even a tablet so one child can continue online learning. These are not luxuries; they are survival.

    “I am not asking for help for myself or my wife, but only for the children. Until the decree of guardianship is issued, no official support will come. For now, we are alone. We place this request into God’s hands, believing nothing is impossible for Him.”

    Pastor Micheal Kuzin

    Standing with the Shepherds of Ukraine

    Pastor Michael’s story is just one of many. Across Ukraine, more than thirty pastors in our Serve Ukraine Network are doing the same—preaching the Gospel, feeding the hungry, caring for widows, and opening their homes to orphaned children.

    I spoke at Pastor Michael’s church in Cherkasy. As I was finishing my sermon, two hypersonic missiles struck nearby. The building shook violently—windows rattling, people frozen in fear, some rushing toward the doors.
    Then young Pastor Michael calmly stepped to the pulpit. He said, ‘We all know that by staying here, we may give our lives for this decision.’ Then he quoted Philippians 1:21 —  ‘To live is Christ, and to die is gain.’
    Turning to me, he said, ‘Pastor Jeff, finish your sermon.’
    I finished quickly. But I’ll never forget that moment—this young man leading his church under fire, refusing to back down.”

    Pastor Jeff Copeland

    They are standing in the gap, but they cannot stand alone.

    That’s where we come in.

    We are inviting pastors, individuals and churches in the U.S. to stand with pastors in Ukraine — not only through giving, but through relationship and shared mission.

    You and your church can:

    • Sponsor a Ukrainian pastor and his family each month to help provide stability, warmth, and hope.
    • Pray faithfully for them by name, and share their stories with your congregation.
    • Encourage them personally — send an email, record a short message, or even join a video call. (Pastor Michael speaks English and loves connecting with other pastors.)
    • Provide Christmas for their family or help meet a specific need.
    • Adopt a pastor’s family as your church’s mission partner, walking together in prayer, encouragement, and friendship.

    This is what Kingdom Bridges Ministries and the Serve Ukraine Network were created for — to build lasting relationships between pastors and churches across nations, so together we can fulfill Jesus’ prayer:

    “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”

    Matthew 6:10

    Let’s be the answer to their prayers — pastors standing with pastors, churches standing with churches, the Kingdom advancing together.

    If your heart is stirred to stand with these pastors, please reach out.
    We’ll help you or your church begin a direct partnership with a Ukrainian pastor’s family today.

    Want to come alongside a pastor and his family in Ukraine?
