Reflections on a Year of Service

While we have been on our mission for one year, we have witnessed the profound impact of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as it generously funds humanitarian projects worldwide but mostly in the Europe North Area.

The funds generously donated by members of the worldwide Church, enable us the privilege to witnesses the far-reaching impact as it supports humanitarian projects across Europe. Millions of dollars are allocated to countries grappling with recent disasters or conflicts, enabling the reconstruction of nations like Ukraine and Turkey. The funds are channeled into essential resources, from numerous pallets of food and water to the replacement of medical equipment, beds, clothing for those who have fled their homes with only the clothes on their backs, and the provision of kitchen appliances to support food pantries and soup kitchens in their mission to feed the vulnerable. 

Our church is actively involved in Iceland and other regions where homes have been leveled by destruction, even before the onset of volcanic activity. The Church’s preparations for aid were already underway, ensuring a swift response when the need arose. The relief aid is distributed through extensive worldwide organizations to reach those in need, and our charity remains steadfast in its commitment to non-discrimination, responding promptly to any identified need with the Christ-like characteristics of love and charity.

In a world marked by commotion and widespread suffering, the Church demonstrates a rapid and compassionate response. We find great fulfillment in being part of this engaged effort, contributing to the Church's impactful response to the challenges facing humanity.

As we approach the last few months of our mission, we look forward to returning home and spending time with family. Despite world chaos, we have faith in God’s power to endure and bring blessings to those who trust in the Lord.
