Through trusted local partners, GCMM is standing alongside Jewish communities affected by war, displacement, and uncertainty in Ukraine, Israel, and Europe.

The war in Ukraine continues to reshape the lives of its Jewish communities. Thousands have left their homes since 2022, seeking safety elsewhere in Europe or relocating to Israel. Many others have remained, living with the uncertainty, loss, and disruption that war brings into everyday life.

For those who remain, practical needs are real. Food, clothing, medicine, and other essentials matter. But so does something harder to measure: having people who remain close, listen, pray, and continue to walk alongside families when the crisis no longer feels temporary.

This is the work our longtime ministry partners in Ukraine continue to do.

Across the country, Messianic congregations have remained active despite bombardment, displacement, and economic hardship. They provide humanitarian assistance, maintain community life, care for children and older people, gather for Jewish holidays, and offer places where people can ask difficult questions about faith, suffering, and the future.

The work continues in cities deeply affected by the war.

In Kharkiv, a Bible school has remained active, teaching approximately 1,500 people, about half of them Jewish. In Lviv, Jewish festivals held during the war have brought hundreds of new people into relationship with the local congregation. In Zaporizhzhia, outreach has reached tens of thousands of people, with hundreds continuing in contact with the congregation.

The numbers show the reach. They do not describe the weight carried by the people behind them.

There are families separated across borders, young people whose plans have been interrupted, elderly people enduring war again in their lifetime, and parents trying to create stability for their children while living with uncertainty themselves.

Our partners meet people in that reality.
