New DocuFilm "Into Ukraine" Shows How the Gospel is Making Inroads Via Food Supplies

A Jesus Mission has released a documentary video, "Into Ukraine: A Story of Being The Church in a Warzone," which captures their mission of delivering food to the frontlines of the war. A Jesus Mission, a Christian missionary organization that partners with local churches to evangelize, disciple and minister to the lost, is standing in the gap in Ukraine to distribute aid to remote villages impacted by war.  

In this documentary, you will be able to hear of how within the first few weeks of the war, the mission purchased multiple vans and began taking food supplies into active war zones in Ukraine --- a risky, yet essential mission in itself. With a mere seven vans, missionaries with A Jesus Mission have delivered over 1 million pounds of food within 5 miles of Russian occupation And you will also learn of how the Mission is serving the Ukrainian refugees alongside the local church in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. 

In an interview with The Christian Post, A Jesus Mission's Andy Zeissman reports, "We've always said we wanted to be on the edge of the crisis, and because of our relationships with people inside Ukraine, we had no choice but to get off the bench and just become a part of the solution. The expression of risk, and the willingness to take a risk, opens the door for the Gospel to go forward more than anything else."  

A crucial part of the ministry's work is partnering with local churches to provide aid and disciple new believers. "We try to not let A Jesus Mission be known really at all," he said. "We get into Ukraine, we have our vans that say, 'Jesus Mission Aid Vehicle,' but besides that, we're just working with the local church, because that's how people are going to be most benefitted. Just by bringing food to the church, we can really equip them to do the long game, which is years of work."

"They speak the language, they know the culture," he continued. "In a sense, we bring people physical food, but if we work through the local church, people get to eat twice, because that church will spiritually feed people. So, our heart is to facilitate the Ukrainian church everywhere we go."
