November 2023 Update
Last month, as part of preparation for a tough winter, a fund-raising dinner was held in the Milwaukee area. Two very special gentlemen spoke about the work they did the first year of the war in Ukraine. One was the young Romanian man who helped some 25,000 Ukrainians flee their homeland into Romania. Sergiu met numerous groups at the border, gave them food, water, clothing, and other necessities. He even brought teddy bears for the many frightened children.
Our Mission
Helping Hands Eastern European Ministries is a Christian mission that was created in response to the great physical, emotional and spiritual losses the many Eastern Europeans experienced as a result of years of living under Communism or conflict. Through our work we aim to assist the most vulnerable in Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Moldovia, and Greece, as well as immigrants from those countries, by providing compassionate support and resources that address their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Our Purpose
As Lutherans, we are aware of God’s great grace to us through Jesus. We long to share His love with the Eastern European people.
