From May 21 through June 12, 2025, The Sharp Family will be serving alongside Dignity Restoring Hope. 

During our time, we will be using shepherding resources developed by Collegiate Abbey to help shepherd the approximately 80 pastors in the growing and vast Ukrainian churches springing up among the over 650,000 Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic.  We will be hosting the first two out of a series of retreats during this trip. 

As God has continued to work and as others have found out about these efforts, we will also be putting in a community garden at the refugee center, host a second team of folks who will help in the garden as well as offer sessions in art therapy, first aid training, and the list continues to develop. 

There are several ways you can help in these efforts. 

The Sharps need to raise approximately $10,000 to cover their cost of housing and travel for this time. 

You can also sponsor different aspects of the community garden, you can view the list here. 

You can also sponsor a pastor to attend the retreat. (approx. $150) Please contact Britton about this.
