I stand on this bridge and see a picture that touches me to the core. The war brought terrible destruction—holes in every sense. Holes are physical—holes in the souls of people.

Ukraine returns and liberates the occupied territories. But true liberation is brought by that Cross visible in the distance. Only in the Cross of Christ is true liberation...

On our way back, the military at the entrance to Kharhiv asked us where we were and doing what. Humanitarian aid. Hearing our answer, he says: "Thank you and your churches for being here for our people and for all that you do."

I am happy to pass on the gratitude of this Ukrainian soldier to all of you. Thank you!
