About Us Team History

Since 2010 the Christian Mission “New Life” has been delivering large-scale social initiatives that transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Ukraine and abroad. Over these fifteen years we have launched programmes such as “Help to Survive”, “Feed the Hungry”, and the “Chamber of Mercy”.

The mission establishes warming shelters, safe houses, social adaptation centres, rehabilitation facilities and outreach teams across the country, with several programmes already serving people abroad.

New directions—drilling wells, opening the Mother and Child Shelter, rebuilding homes in de-occupied regions—are growing rapidly. In the last eighteen months alone they have provided practical support to thousands of people.

Every day we meet people caught in crisis: the homeless, war-affected families, people struggling with addictions and co-dependency, and others who suddenly lost their support system. Thanks to committed volunteers and specialists these people receive a real chance to begin again.

We go beyond emergency aid: our purpose is a full transformation of each person—helping them break the vicious circle, restore dignity, and become self-sufficient.

After the full-scale invasion the number of people who need help multiplied. In response the mission keeps expanding projects so that rapid assistance reaches those affected. Professionals join our volunteer teams, integrate quickly, and help us deliver on ambitious goals.

Mission motto: “We love God — we serve people.”
108056+ people heard about God through mission projects
2834 individuals transformed their lives with the support of the mission
12 regional branches operate across Ukraine
