In 1995 the ministry registered with the Ukrainian government as a humanitarian fund under the name International Humanitarian Fund Reach the Children. The first shipment of three 40 foot long ship containers filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars value of medical supplies arrived in Ukraine in the fall of 1995.
We honor a man, Frances Galloway, who largely was responsible for helping us begin this compassionate method of helping others. This dimension of our organization continues to expand to this day, opening doors of ministry opportunity that would otherwise be closed. This includes being invited to North Korea and an invitation to a dinner with the President of Ukraine, Victor Yuschenko.
Scripture commands us to help those less fortunate. (See Psalm 41) Our goal is to be obedient to this command and follow the example of Jesus. The relief work is often done beside Ukrainian churches, asking them to join in distributing the aid, as this elevates their image in the community where they serve.
