Warmth and Safety: Replacing Windows at LOTG Church

Raised

$8,500

Amid the ongoing full-scale war in Ukraine, Light of the Gospel Church in Kamianka (Cherkasy region) has become a vital hub for both spiritual care and practical support. The church serves not only its local congregation but also hundreds of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and vulnerable families affected by the war.

Throughout the week, the church building hosts:

• Sunday worship services and small group gatherings

• A fully functional bomb shelter used daily by local elementary school children

• Regular humanitarian food and clothing distributions

• Children’s camps, adult support groups, and

• Psychological and spiritual counseling

However, the building’s 30 original wooden windows (installed in 1996) are now dangerously outdated. They are inefficient, drafty, and structurally unsafe in the event of a nearby explosion. Replacing them with modern, energy-efficient PVC windows will significantly enhance both the thermal insulation and physical safety of the building—cutting winter heat loss by 20–30% and reducing utility and firewood expenses.

Project Goal:

To improve the energy efficiency and safety of the church facility by replacing 30 deteriorating wooden windows with modern, high-quality PVC windows.

Short-Term Outcome:

🔹Installation of 30 new energy-efficient PVC windows in the church building.

Long-Term Impact:

✅ A warmer, safer, and more cost-efficient facility for church gatherings, children’s programs, counseling, and humanitarian relief.

✅ Improved protection from potential injury in the event of a blast (no glass shattering).

✅ Ongoing spiritual and practical ministry to displaced families and the local community in a more secure environment.

Timeline: All installation will be completed within 2 months of funding, and no later than October 2025.
