Our Mission
Standing with Ukraine: Bringing Hope in the Midst of War
As the war in Ukraine continues, children and families face unimaginable hardship, uncertainty, and loss. Yet through your generosity, hope shines in the darkness. Together, we are sharing the love of Jesus through practical care, compassion, and faithful service to those who need it most.
Bringing Hope to Orphaned Children
Dedicated seminary students are bringing hope, comfort, and the love of God to more than 650 children across several state-run orphanages, serving them in the midst of the ongoing war and the uncertainty it brings to their daily lives. Through Bible lessons, uplifting music, creative crafts, nourishing meals, and thoughtful gifts, we remind each child that they are deeply loved, valued, and never forgotten—even in the most difficult circumstances.
Recognizing the unique challenges these children face during wartime, we are also working to improve their living conditions and strengthen their safety. Our efforts include replacing broken beds and worn-out mattresses, essential hygiene supplies, making necessary building improvements, and repairing bomb shelters to help provide safer spaces when air raid alerts occur.
We are also creating opportunities for joy, friendship, and lasting memories by bringing summer camp experiences directly to the orphanages. With travel severely limited by the war, many of these children have few opportunities to leave their familiar surroundings or enjoy a traditional summer camp. By bringing camp to them, we offer a much-needed time of fun, fellowship, spiritual encouragement, and the simple joy of being children.
Crisis Response: Caring for Families in Need
As Ukraine approaches five years of war, families continue to endure relentless uncertainty, constant fear, and the crushing burden of soaring living costs. For many, simply putting food on the table and meeting basic daily needs has become an overwhelming struggle. Crossroads and our ministry partners remain committed to providing essential food, supplies, shelter, and transportation to internally displaced families and others facing desperate circumstances.
This work often comes at great personal risk. The courageous individuals delivering food and essential supplies continue to serve communities where drones and bombs remain an active threat, putting their own safety on the line to reach families who might otherwise be left without help. Despite the danger, they press on, driven by compassion and a deep commitment to serving those in need.
This support is more than assistance, it is a lifeline, bringing practical relief to families struggling to survive and reminding them that Canadians care. Through your generosity, we provide more than essential resources; we share the enduring hope, compassion, and love of Christ in the midst of unimaginable hardship.
Because of your support, help reaches those who need it most, even in places where delivering it requires extraordinary courage.
A legacy of Compassion and Care
Since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022, Crossroads has provided more than $1.1 million in assistance, reaching over 171,485 people with food, clothing, blankets, hygiene supplies, and other essentials.
Your Compassion Can Make a Difference
The needs remain urgent. Children need safe, comfortable living conditions, while displaced families struggle to survive the hardships of war. Yet even amid the devastation, God is still moving. Through relief efforts and outreaches, lives are being touched, urgent needs are being met, and people are giving their hearts to Jesus.
Your generosity can bring comfort to a child, provide life-sustaining food and supplies to families, and hope to someone facing unimaginable hardship.
Though Ukraine's future remains uncertain, we serve a God whose love never fails. Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing help where it is needed most and reminding the people of Ukraine that they are not alone.
