We started the Sister Church Association so that Ukrainian pastors could continue to focus on their ministries rather than searching for jobs. Life changed drastically for most Ukrainian pastors as half of their congregation either fled the country, or joined the fight on the front line. Their churches were no longer able to afford a salary and they were forced to find jobs reducing their time in the church. The Sister Church Association allowed them to return to their call while a Sister Church covered their salary. One such Sister Church relationship is between City of Life Church (Kyiv) and Perimeter Church (Atlanta, GA). Pastor Edik not only continues leading his church in Kyiv, but he runs IDP centers in Zakarpattia, and now feeds IDP communities around Lviv.
