Your Partnership – Arise Again

I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

-Psalm 18:3 (ESV)

Pastor Anatoly from New Life Church Kyiv helped thousands and continues to provide as much help as possible to those who have been displaced by the war.

Church services are ongoing and are place of refuge for many. In Kyiv as the power is limited the church opens its doors and provides food, cup of tea or coffee, a place to fellowship with others and to find warmth and safety. Those who need to charge their mobile devices are able to do so at the church.

The church is a place of refuge for so many during these difficult times in Ukraine.

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

- Matthew 25:35-36, 40 (ESV)

Church of New Hope – Mint Hill, NC

New Life Church – Kyiv, Ukraine

Stephen Humphreys is a longtime volunteer serving Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, where his courage and commitment earned him the Navalny Medal from Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Legion. Drawing on more than 20 years as a criminal prosecutor, U.S. Senate investigator, and attorney who uncovered Russian mafia and intelligence operations in the United States, Stephen answered a personal call to help defend freedom in Ukraine. His work has included documenting Russian war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, advising Ukrainian government and military partners, supporting humanitarian aid efforts, teaching law and history at Ukrainian universities, and helping establish Ukraine Studies programs at U.S. institutions. Stephen also speaks widely in the United States, hosts Ukrainian delegations, and uses photography and firsthand testimony to educate the public about the human cost of the war, including an exhibition shown in the Ukrainian Parliament and supported by the Office of the President of Ukraine. Currently, he is pioneering legal frameworks to hold the Russian state and individual perpetrators accountable for war crimes, religious persecution, and the abduction of Ukrainian children. Stephen has carried out this dangerous and demanding work for nearly four years entirely as a volunteer, often at his own expense. Arise Again is proud to support Stephen’s efforts and invites donors to help sustain this vital work defending freedom, human dignity, and justice in Ukraine.

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

-Isaiah 54:10 (ESV)

The “Protected” relief fund, established by the Women’s Ministry of the Ukrainian Baptist Churches Association in the USA, supports Ukrainian women who have lost their husbands or sons during the devastating war in Ukraine. We assist the wives of volunteers who fought courageously for their homeland’s freedom, not just military wives. Over 60,000 families still await news of missing loved ones, while more than 70,000 families mourn husbands and sons lost in the conflict. These shattered families receive no financial support from the Ukrainian government under current law.

Consider Andrii Korniichuk, a former youth pastor in Ukraine—a devoted servant of God, loving husband, and father. His wife Tatiana now faces life alone with their one-year-old daughter. Or Olena, now raising three children by herself after her 30-year-old husband Illiya died fighting for Ukraine. Two of her children have special needs requiring frequent medical attention and specialized care. Olena confronts an overwhelming future managing her children’s needs without her husband’s support.

Our fund is dedicated to helping families like these. Thousands of women and children live in despair, struggling to find hope and strength to continue. We’re here to provide both practical assistance and renewed hope.

Every two months, we deliver food packages, Christian literature, and other necessities to 50 supported families. We also provide financial assistance for medical expenses, covering portions of healthcare costs. We cannot remain inactive—our mission is to remind these families that God remains with them, and we serve as His hands in their devastated world.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

-Jeremiah 29:11-13 (ESV)
