TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF IDPs AND REFUGEES
It was early in the morning on Thursday, February 24, when I was awoken from a phone call. It was my sister informing me that Russian had just invaded Ukraine where I live. I dressed and went to the office as usual and began my work. We started getting emails and phone calls from Kyiv looking for a place to which to escape. Soon our house was full, and more were coming. I looked around our empty café and felt the Lord instruct me to set up an IDP/refugee center. That night I returned home and shared with Marina my thoughts.
