Though Ukraine is beginning to fade from the headlines, the war continues. God's people are still working and committed to bringing hope and light to a world shattered by war.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;

Humbly Blessed to Serve

The reports that many of us see offer no hope. We cry out to God for help for so many. But God is working and bringing hope to many in Ukraine in small ways. God's light is still shining even in what many see as the darkest moments we've ever witnessed.

We have been blessed to be a conduit of God's love to the church in Ukraine. Since Friday, God's people have donated over $100,000. God has uniquely positioned SIBI with direct communication with preachers in Ukraine and also in multiple locations where families are fleeing in Eastern Europe. The money donated is already going to work to meet the needs of those who have been displaced by the violence.

The Arrow that Saved a Life and Countless Souls

Donna with Solar Player

A few years ago, Donna Barbour was on the back patio of her home in the Texas Panhandle when she was struck in the neck by a stray arrow that, by all logic, should have killed her, but instead would eventually save her life. The narrow point arrow was shot toward the north by a young neighbor practicing with a powerful compound bow, but the missile ricocheted, went back south, across a couple of fences, through bushes, trees and hanging baskets. It lodged in the right side of Donna’s neck.
