ChurchTech Institute

The number of times that I have shared "The Hollywood Reporter" corresponds roughly to the number of things that Angelina Jolie and I have in common. But we share one critical common concern: the plight of the people in Ukraine, especially very near the front in Kherson. In 5 weeks I will be heading back there for my 6th trip. Per usual, I will divide my time between delivering aid to civilians and Gospel encouragement to the troops alongside military chaplains. Any extra funds that we raise now will go to purchasing extra food and hygeine items for civilians still living just a few miles from the Russian military. These folks are under contant threat of drone and artillery attacks - plus the nagging concern that one of these days the repeated Russian attemps to mount an amphibious assault across the Dnipro River will succeed. So, I covet your prayers for them and for me. And, as you contemplate your year end giving, ChurchTech Institute would be honored to wisely steward any supportive financial gift that you might make. Link to donate is in the first comment.

Angelina Jolie Goes to War. For Real. The Oscar-winning actress made a surprise visit to a city where even seasoned war correspondents fear to tread — the front-line Ukrainian combat zone of Kherson.

This is a very worthwhile read and consistent with my observations near the front. My next trip is January 1 to 10. If you have military experience and are willing to help in areas near combat (though absolutely in a non-combat role) - please message me.
