Armada in Ukraine

Recently, I was interviewed by Gary Marx on his podcast Peace & Power, sponsored by the Federal Newswire. It’s interesting that they focused on how I witnessed Ukraine’s transformation for 32 years and offered perhaps a broader or larger perspective on the nation’s progress and reform than

A Few Words from Ukraine

I appreciate your prayers these days more than you can imagine.  Last week saw the conclusion of 10 days of back-to-back ministry with my friend Josh Barclay. We also enjoyed a wonderful surprise visit from Pastor Sydney Ropp, who shared 3 days with us on his way to another ministry

Sharing News, Thoughts, and Prayers

They were able to see firsthand what God is doing here, and how precious the Ukrainian people are as they stand against an evil not seen since Hitler.

Sharing news, thoughts and prayers

Our dear friend, Pastor William Hake, stepped into glory and is now with Jesus. As the Apostle Paul said, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!" On Saturday, November 16, the Armada will be coming together to celebrate his life and ministry.

Needs, Seeds and Automobiles!

In a recent conversation with an old friend in Ukraine, I learned that our sister church in Odessa has been having mechanical problems with one of their most used vans. This 9 passenger van has been burning up the miles, delivering aid, spreading the gospel, and getting people out of

Fighting for the Children

We were very happy to see the Zimmerman's (from CWI in Lancaster, PA) appear in an article in the Washington Post concerning a dilemma facing many adoptive parents working with Ukraine. One thing the article doesn't tell you, but I have insider information, that: without them

Faith in God’s Faithfulness

Faith “comes by hearing, and by hearing the Word of God,” (Romans 10:17), but how often we fail to believe the one thing that changes everything. What is it that we specifically believe? We should have faith in God’s faithfulness. Our faith is based on God’s faithfulness

Obama's War

Recently, Vivek Ramaswamy has presented his theory of foreign policy applied to Ukraine at the Nixon Library. It was an interesting speech as he makes his bid for the Presidency. I have to admit I like Vivek. He's articulate, intelligent, quick witted and has a wonderful grasp of

Pastor's Update

The small village of Afanasievka is located in the Eastern part of the Mykolaiv region, on the right bank of the Dnipro river. The village has suffered from constant shelling and bombardment causing many of the residents to flee. Sadly, many elderly people are forced to remain in the village,

Two Wars At Once

Yesterday,  I met Oleksandr Tretyak. For 13 years he was the director of a Bible School, and then in 2020 he was elected mayor of the city of Rivne. That’s a huge step for a Christian in Ukraine, and one that I hope many others will follow. Please add

Your Part in Prayer

Last year, when the Russians started hammering Ukraine with wave after wave of missiles, my wife and others began praying very specifically – Lord, make their technology fail, make the chips to malfunction, the payloads must fail to detonate, make them duds.

Religious Wars and Proxy Wars

Sometime ago, General Boykin, a believer, was speaking in the pulpit of his own home Church. He made the statement that the then current war in Afghanistan was a religious war and someone recorded it. Maybe a journalist was in the crowd. It exploded in the press, and General Boykin

Life Just Goes On

Today, the Air Raid Siren went off and no one moved. I was in a street-side cafe working on my laptop surrounded by the constant sound of cups and saucers clinking and people whispering. People don’t talk loud over here. No one even looked up when the Siren blared.

What Lies Ahead

Probably the most common question I am asked, both in the United States and in Ukraine (where I am now), is what is going to happen next?  Or, more specifically, how long will this war last and what can we expect after that? I have known in my heart that

A Lot is Done with a Little

One of the principles I've learned from the ministry of Jesus is how he did a lot with very little. In fact, the miracles of what we often call prosperity – using the power of God to meet the needs of people – is illustrated in his teaching that a

Overview of Armada in Ukraine

Recently, I was in conversation with a new friend and he asked me if we had a video where someone could get a “bigger picture” on how Armada arrived at our mission to empower Ukrainian Pastors as they minister to a nation at war. There is a lot of history

Times of Refreshing

As you know, last year the Lord directed me to give Ukrainian pastors and leaders an opportunity to rest and be refreshed. We completed our 3rd “Pastor’s Retreat” a few days ago in the city of Pavlograd. You can find the city on the map above, directly above the
