IMB missionaries Dan and Lori Upchurch minister to Ukrainian refugees in Poland along with their ministry partners, Christian Community Church. The church provides a space for worship, service, community, and belonging. 

Many Ukrainians found their Savior in this church, meeting in a room that looks like it may have been a dance studio in a community center. Dan said he’s found Ukrainians need three things for life to seem like it’s worth living—fellowship, celebratory events, and music.

“There’s a tension here. You don’t want Ukrainians to feel like spiritual tourists who are just kind of roaming,” Dan said. “They need to be a part of a community. They need to be a part of a group where they’re using their gifts and their talents to impact lives.”

Christian Community Church members have found exactly what they need. 

The Cooperative Program (CP) takes the Gospel to the nations and the neighborhoods. Your financial support through the Cooperative Program helps missionaries minister to local believers and empower them to share the Gospel with those around them.

Pray that missionaries would be empowered to use cultural traditions to bring people to a saving faith in Christ.
