Ukraine UMC has created a Crisis Committee to oversee all the foreign support that is coming in through the Advance #14053A - “Eurasia In Mission Together - Ukraine and Moldova”.
The money channeled through this Advance will arrive on the Ukraine UMC church account and decisions on how this would be used, will be taken by this Crisis Committee that includes some pastors (including the previous DS) as well as lay leaders. Weekly reports will be made to Ullas Tankler who is the Global Ministries representative for Europe, Eurasia, and North Africa. This gives us confidence to work through the Advance directly with Ukraine. Although the website does not mention anything about refugees, gifts designated online for this purpose will pass through this account.

TO HELP UKRAINIAN REFUGEES OUTSIDE OF UKRAINE:
Please PRAY and GIVE through the Florida Conference of the UMC to help Ukraine refugees fleeing to Poland. So far, at least 280,000 Ukrainian refugees have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border, most of them mothers with children. 100% of your gift will go right away to United Methodist Churches in Poland on the front lines of this refugee humanitarian crisis as they assist with food, clothing, places to stay, etc. We can let them and those they are serving know they are not alone.
