December days are short. Some ministry meetings now take place in near darkness, with flashlights providing the only light. Yet even under these conditions, the Gospel continues to be proclaimed, the Kingdom of God continues to grow, and God continues to save lives.

As 2025 comes to an end, Ukraine enters the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale attack on the country. Life has learned to exist in war — to the sound of air-raid sirens and explosions — with constant gratitude to God for protection and preservation.

In this reality, gratitude is also directed toward friends and partners who stand with Ukraine from afar. Special thanks are expressed to Anatoliy Kolomiyets, IMOCE, and all those involved in this ministry. Their support has become a strong pillar for Ukrainians living in war.

Though physically distant, they reach people through bread — bread that is baked around the clock and delivered to those living along the entire frontline. Places without electricity, without heat, without functioning shops — yet filled with faith and hope. Through this simple but faithful service, many people have come to the Lord during the years of war.

Chaplain teams, volunteers, and ministers often carry two kinds of bread to the people: spiritual and physical. Together, they testify that even in darkness, God’s light remains present and active.

May the Lord repay this faithfulness a hundredfold.
