About “Mission Voice and Hands of a Friend”

In 2011, a WA state 501C3 non-profit organization, Mission VHF, partnered with Pastor-missionary Igor Tunik, who led two home churches in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. That year, a Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center was established in Ukraine with the help of Mission VHF volunteers. 

In 2016, the efforts multiplied. The ministry grew to six churches, one rehab center, six YoungLife-type Centers, six Children’s Centers, and one Senior Outreach ministry. In early 2021-2022, Mission VHF was already able to offer monthly financial support to 22 missionaries and their families. Plans were made to continue growing the ministry by starting an additional Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center and an additional church.

Unfortunately, the full-scale war in Ukraine that started on February 24th, 2022, changed the plans of every single Ukrainian, as well as each missionary in Ukraine. Some families with small children were forced to move to the safer parts of Ukraine and continue ministry there. Mission VHF made all efforts to feed, evacuate, treat medically, and support Ukrainians through the work of the missionary team, who remained to serve. Most importantly, the Gospel was spread with each effort. 

Additionally, Mission VHF is continuing its local work with the homeless and those in need.  The future goals include an expansion of non-profit work in Wenatchee, WA.
