less and looking to exploit human misery. The police appear too over- whelmed to stop them. It’s an acute crisis unlike anything
Europe’s seen since World War II. Polish citizens who remember the bootheel of Soviet oppression fear it’s only a matter of time before Putin invades them next. A Polish citizen told me: “There’s
only one reason we can even sleep at night: The United States of America. We know you’ll protect us.” In Ukraine and beyond, this
vision of America as the nation they can count on is what’s keeping their hopes alive. We heard this refrain throughout our visit to the Ukraini- an border: “We know the Americans will come help us,” they say. In some respects, they already
have. Funds donated by concerned Americans enabled my organization, CityServe, to purchase the cots need- ed to get refugees off the fl oor of a train station. We’re purchasing vehicles to bol-
ster a transportation network. We’re working closely with the Pentecostal European Fellowship to make sure refugees are placed in church-family safe houses. The church-led underground rail-
road delivering supplies through- out Ukraine is playing a big role in keeping Ukraine alive. Putin would very much like to see that network destroyed. This railroad functions in both directions. After the drivers unload their provisions, they take stranded refugees aboard, then begin their har- rowing journey back across the border. Then, CityServe volunteers meet
the refugees and connect them with church safe houses for ongoing care and support.

Ivanka Trump Sends 1 M T
For the former president’s daughter, the plight of innocent civilians was personal as well as humanitarian.
he biggest quandary fac- ing relief agencies was how to feed and care for the 33 mil- lion souls still trapped inside
Ukraine, many of them forced out of their homes. The answer to our prayers came in
a phone call. Ivanka Trump’s assistant was on
the line. The former president’s daugh- ter wanted to help the innocent civil- ians caught in the crossfi re. Ivanka wanted to send one million prepackaged meals to Ukraine. “A million?” “Yes,” the assistant replied. “One
million meals.” For Ivanka, the plight of Ukrainians
was personal as well as humanitarian. Her grandmother and mother grew up living under Cold War-era Soviet oppression in Czechoslovakia. Her 96-year-old maternal grand-
mother still preaches the importance of freedom to her children and grand- children every chance she gets. “The Ukrainian people have shown
inspiring courage and resilience dur- ing the invasion of their country by Russia,” Ivanka said in a statement to Newsmax.
“As is often the case, pain and hard-
ship are disproportionately borne by the most vulnerable. “With this food, I hope to provide a
small source of comfort and nourish- ment for Ukrainians who are suff ering so greatly.” The fi rst massive logistical chal-
lenge we faced was getting one mil- lion meals packaged and ready to ship. Thankfully we had Pastor Paula White-Cain on our side, the former president’s spiritual adviser. White directed an army of 1,850 vol- unteers at her City of Destiny church
RELIEF Boxes of food, paid for by Ivanka Trump, await distribution to starving Ukrainians through a heroic army of pastors who risked their lives driving the meals through territory patrolled by trigger-happy Russian soldiers.
