There is a desperate need for UK churches and Christian families to host Ukrainian families, says a group of evangelical Christians who are struggling to place those seeking refuge.
Starfish Ukraine, which has helped place more than 400 Ukrainian refugees into Christian homes throughout the island of Ireland, recently saw one refugee come to faith. The voluntary organisation was founded by Rachel Graham, formerly a vet, who has 20 years’ experience in ministry in Ukraine. She said: ‘We trust that others will come to know the Saviour as they are loved and served by His family here.’
But the group, based in Northern Ireland and run by a small team of volunteers, is ‘really struggling’ to find more host families, with around 50 requests from Ukrainian families currently seeking refuge.
