ServeUkraine is the relief fund outreach of MusicWorks International, part of the A.C.T. Intl family of ministries. ServeUkraine is dedicated to gathering resources to help the organizations we have worked with, our Ukrainian colleagues and students, their families, their friends, and others in this horrific time of invasion and war.
We will use every method to distribute resources and finance, and link to other organizations to help with relocation in this time of unprecedented need. Our relational connections allow us to address physical, mental, spiritual, and practical needs.
Please give generously.
We have worked in Ukraine since 1992, most intensely over the last 10 years. We will continue to help through the recovery that will be needed.
The needs will reach beyond funds, but we start there. The situation demands urgency, so we start now.

We continue to grow and expand our involvement.
Fred J. Heumann has been in ministry leadership since 1977 and has pioneered ministries in the US, UK, Latin America, and Ukraine. He has served local churches in 3 states, sung and spoken in thousands of high schools with Wings of Light, visited 50 nations, been an overseas missionary, worked in music production, publishing, and technology. He was also part of the World Leadership Team of Youth for Christ International. Fred is an ordained minister with the Missionary Church with a Master's degree and an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Worship Studies. He and Judie have been married since 1982 and have an adult son, Joel.
Fred founded MusicWorks International in 1993 to support the training and development of church leaders to utilize music well in their worship and in reaching out to others with Good News. As a ministry focused on musicians and creatives, our primary work since 2012 has been alongside the Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary in Kyiv, teaching students and mentoring church leaders. Together we have seen hundreds of leaders and their teams come to our seven Music in Worship conferences from all across Ukraine.
ServeUkraine is a new fund created to capitalize on our work in Ukraine over these last ten years. Fred has partnered with seminaries, churches, students, and other ministries. Those relational links allow us to uniquely address the current crisis to meet physical, mental, spiritual, and practical needs. We will create innovative solutions to get people the help they need and also connect to existing organizations and people on the ground to serve those displaced by this war.
MusicWorks International and ServeUkraine are part of the A.C.T. International family of ministries.
Artists in Christian Testimony International supports and serves a family of 400+ unique ministries by handling financial and other details to free up those ministries to do the work. Incorporated since 1973 with charitable work in 50 countries, contributions made through ACT Intl are tax-deductible.
These partnership connections allow our ministry to focus on the task with fewer staff and greater flexibility.
