Katy and Daniel relocated their family from Czech Republic to Ukraine to serve communities affected by the war.
Though they were apprehensive, they were sure this was where God was calling them.
“God called us, including our children. This is where we’re meant to be...When you look at it from the perspective of eternity, it is worth following God’s calling.”
Katy and her team organise retreats in the mountains for military chaplains, Christian leaders and their families to experience rest and quiet time with God.
Many leaders have left the country, been called up to serve in the army, or, sadly, passed away. Those remaining carry a large burden and “are frequently exhausted, constantly caring for others and giving so much of themselves."
“One military chaplain told us it was the first meaningful time he had spent with his family since the war began.”
In the midst of heartbreak and suffering, Katy has seen particular openness among young people and soldiers on the front lines, as well as growing unity among believers.
“It’s a reminder that God can bring beauty and growth out of even the darkest circumstances.”
Could you pray with Katy and her family for an end to the war and for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine?
Pray that many would come to know God, and that He would bring hope, healing, and even miracles into the lives of those who are hurting.
