From Humble Beginnings to International Impact
Since 2012, Ukrainian native, Rudolf Balazhinec, and American missionary, Jim Sliz, have worked together to form a small but willing group of volunteers in the city of Uzhhorod, Ukraine. This group of young volunteers were driven by the passion to emulate the body of Christ and “visit widows and orphans in their affliction” (James 1:27).
As Rudy’s ministry and career as a successful soccer coach grew, he and his team were called upon to support other humanitarian efforts, now known as the Family of Christ International "HUB."

Act Now to Help Ukraine
Ukraine is on fire because of the Russian invasion. Thousands of people have been wounded, thousands more have lost family members, and more than a million are now refugees.
Family of Christ International delivers help, hope and healing to those whose lives and homes have been destroyed by Russian shelling and the flooding caused by the bombing of the Nova Kakhovka Dam.
