Chaplain Ministry

Being a Source of Hope

 

Military chaplains play a vital and multifaceted role in Ukraine's war with Russia.

Chaplains have become indispensable in the ongoing war, offering critical support to soldiers and civilians. Their courageous presence on the front lines allows them to provide daily guidance, comfort, and hope to soldiers facing life-threatening situations while extending their care to soldiers’ families, helping them cope with the profound trauma that the war has inflicted on their families.

These chaplains face extreme dangers, yet they remain committed to their calling. As one chaplain humbly stated, “We are just doing what is necessary. It is a desire laid in our hearts. We do the work from our hearts and for God’s glory.” Their resilience is rooted in faith and preparation: “We must prepare well before every trip. Everything you experience on the frontline cannot be erased from your memory. However, the most important thing is that God gives us strength to endure.”

In essence, military chaplains in Ukraine are embodying their motto of “Being there,” providing God’s presence in the army and serving as true spiritual warriors alongside the troops they support.

Your continued support of chaplains and their is making a profound difference in countless lives during this terrible war. Please read more about chaplains below.

Chaplain STORIES

Ukraine chaplains offer hope.

“Once, we had to wrap a fallen soldier in a body bag. Just as we finished, his mobile phone went off. We opened the bag again. The caller’s name was on the screen: ‘My dear wife.’ That was a very difficult moment.

Powerful stories from volunteer Chaplains who minister to soldiers on the front lines. “The doctor shouted to me, “Chaplain, pray harder!” Moments later, the patient got his heartbeat back.”

These courageous, selfless Chaplains voluntarily go into harm’s way to bring the message of salvation and God’s love to young men who could die at any moment.
