Ukrainian soldiers hear the good news. From its headquarters in Rivne, GSM operates several services for the poor. A clothing room makes desperately needed clothes available. In one family of ten, for example, only five of the children had shoes, so the children took turns going to school. Medicines are dispensed by volunteer medical personnel to those who have prescriptions.
Food is offered when it is available.
Church planting Most of the churches are located in western Ukraine, which was once under Poland s domain. The eastern half of the country where Russia dominated is little evangelized. Some churches are 100 to 200 miles apart. GSM has a plan to plant churches in that area but lacks the financial resources to do so. Classes of 25 young men at a time attend a school for four months at GSM headquarters.
