LoveUkraine Men’s Building Mission Details

On By Wolfgang EcklebenIn Making a Difference, Missions

This year in May a group of men from Every Nation London will once again head out to the Carpathian mountains in Ukraine, with  a mission to complete the work we have been doing on trips over the past few years on a missions base that our church in Lviv uses to serve the poorest in that region.  We have space for 8 men to go on this trip, and you can see the details below. Check out this feedback and photos from our last trip here. Register your interest before 18 March, when applications close.
