Edited Press Release
A team from Ridgecrest Baptist Church aims to reach the frontlines of the European refugee crisis this week.
The team, which includes their senior pastor, will be focused on providing immediate care and shelter to orphaned refugees from Ukraine.
Ridgecrest has a years-long partnership with an orphanage in Ukraine.
They are seeking specifically to connect with the families they have built relationships with, but will otherwise provide care and resources on an as-needed basis in partnership with the International Mission Board.
Ridgecrest is expected to have a presence in the region for several weeks.
