We Can't Do It Without You!

I wanted to send out a personal word of thanks to you this last day of 2025. It's been a very long and difficult year for so many, but also a day of faith and victory for those who have received the Gospel. Your partnership, your faithfulness to pray and intercede, and your generosity to give continue to bless so many.

Again, thank you so much!

When people ask me what are you doing in Ukraine? I usually respond with our mission statement: we empower Ukrainian pastors to do what they can do. They know where the needs are, and they know how to get it done.

Armada empowers them to make evacuations, deliver food and humanitarian aid, deliver medicine, replenish supplies in hospitals, and of course, preach the Gospel so they may be saved and healed!

These men and women are the heroes of our day. Thank you for keeping them covered in prayer. From time to time we are blessed to be able to share stories and photos and reports, and I hope you relize when you read them, even this one, that the work goes on every day, and day after day, and tomorrow.

I've known many of these men for more than 30 years! I never imagined then what God would do now. Pastor Vitaliy Kozachenko is an ordained member of Armada. He's truly one of us. From the city of Odesa, they are able to impact the entire southern region of Ukraine.

You are a part of an active warehouse in Odesa that we maintain in order to facilitate this distribution, and we have also opened the doors of our warehouse for other ministries and outreaches. I've been blessed to learn that Lester Sumrall's ministry "Feed the Hungry" has been using our warehousing to bring in tons of supplies. Dr Lester had an incredible impact on my ministry as a young pastor.

I'll be going back in the middle of January. Also, other ministers are working hard to spread the Gospel in Ukraine. Robert Hawk will be spending three weeks there in January and February. I appreciate your faithful support and prayers for him.

I know it's hard to fathom, but in 2025, Russia used over 60,000 aerial bombs, 2,400 missiles, and more than 100,000 drones against Ukraine. Think of it this way: each bomb they dropped, each missile fired, each drone exploding, each home destroyed, each school, each hospital, every time they took a life, the local churches you empower have been there, ministering, blessing, praying and helping.

Well, once more, I wanted to say thank you. We really can't do it without you.
