Sometimes , We Need to
Go

Being the
Hands and Feet of Jesus in Ukraine
As tears fell down my new friend ’ s cheeks , I stepped forward and hugged her . Her heart broke with grief over the war in Ukraine and its impact on her family and community . As we held each other and cried in her hometown in Ukraine , I reflected afresh on the fact that many needs will never be met through donations alone .
I am an OMS missionary , living in South Korea and serving the Asia / Pacific region . Since the war in Ukraine started , I have prayed and hoped I could help in some way . I sent money , but that felt incomplete to me . I heard about the needs of our OMS Hungary team on a Friday afternoon . The call requested drivers of manual transmission vans and Russian speakers to make supply runs to and from the Hungary-Ukraine border . I can drive , and my coworker Hannah speaks Russian . The next morning , we booked our tickets , and we hopped on a plane the day after that .
