Walk and Prayer for Ukraine.  Having boots on ground, talking to the people, walking and driving in their streets, gives credence to our story.  Our job was to inspire hope, share spirtual wisdom, and aid those in need.  Our job was to listen, pray, take action to serve.

Tragedy.  Every family has been touched by tragedy and loss since the invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022.  It is a current war zone with a no-fly restricted airspace.  What many may not recall is that there was a prior conflict in 2014; the current war is a follow-on.

Resilient Fighters.  We found the people to be resilient, kind, resourceful, and highly intelligent.  Our host, Roman, and his wife Anna are both brilliant young professionals and have such great business ideas.  We were especially honored to meet Ukrainian veterans, military men of valor, and hear their war stories.  Mission Ukraine, a Ukrainian and Korean church, prepare and send food to the troops going to the front line.  Roman and his companies are rebuilding their factories and producing quality products for export.  They are rebuilding their cities, the economy, and providing jobs.

Faith.  Moreso, the people are people of faith in Jesus Christ, and the legacy of service and service to God is deep, going back many generations.  When Danny mentioned that he was a bodyguard for Billy Graham, that was a hit of a story and an instant connection.  The people of Ukraine are living and fighting, despite being in a war zone, despite the curfews and warning sirens; despite the drones flying above; despite having to take cover.  We are beyond impressed with the people of Ukraine, too many to mention in one blog post.  We were interviewed by Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) Ukraine and UATV Espanol.
