Editor’s Note: The images below were provided by SGA-supported-local churches in Yakutia.

The people in a small village were grateful when a youth team from SGA-supported local churches came to provide practical, urgent help — and share the Gospel — through SGA-sponsored Compassion Ministry. As the winter frost was getting hard, the young men were able to extract ice blocks from a frozen lake. The blocks were later transported to the poor or elderly villagers to melt for their drinking water. What a picture of how meeting these practical and urgent needs opens the door to the living water of Jesus Christ! Thank you for supporting SGA-sponsored Compassion Ministry.
