Cancer or Not, I’m off to Ukraine!

Christians must stay involved in Ukraine. We are.

Despite ongoing prostate cancer treatments, I’m headed to Poland and Ukraine for my 6th mission since 2022. Our targets: 1) continue helping Ukrainian widows and orphans; 2) aid Kherson victims of totally demolished infrastructure; 3) deliver relief where supply lines are cut off; 4) supply funds for life-saving bandages that our close contacts are delivering to wounded Ukrainian civilians, especially husbands and fathers trying to save their homes. Casualties can drop by 70% with proper bandages and tourniquets; 5) minister in center for war orphans.

We American Christians must remain tenderhearted. I’m still awed by what happened back in 2022 in Poland when our daughter Lexi and I met smiling, hopeful 5-year-old Ukrainian kids who didn’t know that their daddies, who had stayed home to fight, were dead. We had brought them food and blankets, so they made beautiful, personalized cards to thank us, and gave us big hugs because our help changed their lives. But Lexi’s life was changed too, by a hug from one innocent, utterly vulnerable little girl. She still often tells people about it if they ask her about Ukraine.

Lexi and I will never unsee those little ones’ innocent faces. Never. So I’m asking you: In one month, please send me back to Poland and UKRAINE. Join us here to change lives there. Here’s how:

  • Donate via Zelle, a nofee, instant, 100% secure money transfer from any participating bank to our ministry account. Our Bank of America Zelle ID and email: office@jamesgilbert.org. (More on Zelle here.) NOTE: To receive a tax receipt, you MUST send an email address to us. We won’t add you to more lists.
  • Donate securely on this page via credit card. Just click here. You’ll receive an automated receipt for tax-deductible giving. Please consider covering the credit card processing fee.
  • Give via Apple Pay (352-316-1212); Venmo (@JGM-32); or PayPal (@jimgilbertministries).
  • Mail your check payable to Jim Gilbert Ministries to PO Box 141928, Gainesville FL 32614. Write the word UKRAINE on the memo line.

You know Dolly and me. We’ll do as much as you make possible. My heart is full. Let’s make it my pockets too. I promise to empty them wisely.
