Who Is Unto Good Works?

We are a newly formed charity with a long history of service.

More than 30 years ago a youngish man and a youngish woman were discussing their future and their relationship and what were some major goals for their lives.  The man, Chris Bugg, had done relief work after Hurricane Andrew and was feeling a call to do more relief work in the future.  The woman, Rebecca Bugg, had health issues that would preclude her travel into the very areas that he needed to go.  The decision was made that he would go and she would stay home, providing prayer support and any other support needed.  Since that time, he has traveled to many places following earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes.  Originally he did "chainsaw" work, removing fallen trees, etc., and construction work, repairing storm damage.  Then, following the most recent hurricane in Louisiana, he operated a food kitchen feeding people in a small town for more than a week as they worked to recover from the storm.  

Then in late November of 2022, we were watching the news regarding the war in Ukraine and felt a call to go there to deliver whatever relief he could.  His wife kindly pointed out that he didn't speak Ukrainian, couldn't read Ukrainian and didn't know anyone there.  "The only way you'll be going there is if God opens some big doors for you."  Two weeks later we had a Ukrainian refugee family and another couple in which the wife was from Ukraine, eating dinner with us.  A few weeks after that we were connected with pastors operating a refugee camp in Romania and then connected with a pastor doing relief work in Ukraine.  In January 2023, Chris traveled to Ukraine and spent a month there.  And then, made two more trips to Ukraine in 2023.  We have spent 2024 working to get the charity, Unto Good Works established, and had planned a trip for later this year to deliver hospital supplies to an area where a children's hospital was recently heavily damaged.  However, God had another plan, and, instead, his next trip,the first of 2024,  was to do relief work, and pray, as before.

We are not professional missionaries or physicians or any of the type people you'd normally think would be called to do this kind of thing.  We are simply a retired forester and a retired school teacher who are trying to help others due to a call from God.  

We welcome any help from anyone and especially we appreciate prayers for the people of Ukraine, who really only want to live their lives in peace and freedom.  We also ask you pray for the people of Russia, who have no say in the work of their government, and are, from what we can find out, not happy about sending husbands and sons off to fight in a foreign country.
