About This Project

Matthew has been serving in Ukraine with the goal of equipping students with an education containing a Christian worldview. The hope is that students go on to be leaders in their communities, cities, and their country, while sharing the hope of the Gospel. In this effort, Matthew is volunteering at New Generation as a teacher, helping students learn about English, Science, History, and the Bible.

Due to the ongoing war, the ministry faces numerous challenges daily. People continue to face daily the possibility of not having electricity, water, and in the wintertime heating. More recent challenges now include problems of food and water shortages as food warehouses have become the target of drone and missile strikes. These challenges also make learning difficult as students, their families, and teachers continue to learn and grow together after sleepless nights and long days taking shelter during air raids. Further challenges come from working with students who are now permanently affected psychologically by nearly five years of war.

While the challenges are numerous there is still hope and resilience to be found in Ukraine. People are finding ways to cope with the lack of electricity, heat, and water. The team Matthew volunteers with continues to prepare for the winter and the coming school year, and together communities continue to rejoice and find hope in the Lord. Matthew is actively seeking out such stories to share with others so that others can learn from the hope and resilience that is actively found in Ukraine.
