Abstract
Anya Starzhevska began helping her fellow Ukrainian refugees very soon after her own flight from Odesa to Warsaw in February-March 2022. Based at Warsaw Bible Church, she has taken on myriad administrative responsibilities including assistance for Ukrainian refugees in transit to farther west--Warsaw's main railway station is a 20-minute walk from the New Life Center at Warsaw Bible Church. Other roles she has been filling include facilitating the provision of shelter, food, and clothing for refugees; gatherings of Ukrainian refugee entrepreneurs; trauma care sessions with refugee mothers and children, and language and professional training events. On occasion she has also returned to Odesa and traveled to other cities in Ukraine in connection with her ministry with Mission Eurasia.
