Our employees, Vyacheslav Arterchuk and Arkady Slyoza, during their next trip to the Donetsk direction of the front, in addition to traditional items (wet wipes, tea, coffee, sweets, etc.), at the request of the guys from the 24th brigade, brought tires for pickup trucks and remote antennas for walkie-talkies. Thank God that we managed to purchase and deliver these rather expensive items so that the soldiers at the front could feel the love and care for them from believers!
The brothers had the opportunity to meet with the commander of one of the units of the 109th brigade, who is being treated in Dnipro after being wounded; they had a good conversation and, of course, prayed. They were approached by their old friend from the 110th brigade, who is always looking for an opportunity to meet, chat, and hear something encouraging… Having passed Avdiivka, having received injuries and concussions, this soldier is now in a rather difficult moral state, because he is engaged in processing documents for the deceased and missing comrades of his brigade.
To get to Kramatorsk, we had to take a detour, since the usual route was already extremely dangerous. So, we looked for the most protected places to meet with representatives of different units. We managed to spend from 30 minutes to an hour with each one. Old acquaintances shared their experiences and pain… In soldiers who do not know God, general exhaustion, moral disorientation, and despair are mostly observed.
However, the state of the soldiers among our brothers in Christ is completely different. Although they live in the same conditions, they still have the strength, the spirit, and the courage to serve and be an example to others. The brothers were especially pleased with Oleksandr, who serves in the Azov unit. They spent a good time with him in Sloviansk, presented him with the Christian books he had requested, and some goodies and camouflage nets.
A very pleasant and joyful meeting took place with Volodymyr from the 82nd brigade. Both of these brothers once studied at the School of Biblical Preaching, and now they are serving a difficult service in the army… We thank God for all the brave soldiers and pray for them!
This time, the Lord gave us the opportunity to serve a family from Sloviansk, where it is becoming increasingly dangerous due to constant shelling, airstrikes, and drones. The brothers loaded their belongings and transported the family of three to their relatives in the Khmelnytskyi region.
Thanks a lot to all who are involved in this ministry. May the Lord bless you abundantly and show mercy to our people, sending peace!
