Dear friends, let me share about a miracle that happened here in Ukraine. And you all are part of it! We have been visiting the frontlines for six years since the war in East Ukraine began.

In mid-October, we were there again to distribute Bibles to the military. Children’s Bibles have always been especially popular among them – to bring back to their kids. We read the Bible together with soldiers, pray and give Bibles to those who don’t yet have one. At one of the camps in the woods, the commander came up to us, asked for a Children’s Bible, and told that it would be the second Children’s Bible he received from us. Did we remember him? Apparently, we met him on the frontline two years ago. He wasn’t a commander at that time. He had asked us to pray for him and his wife to have children, as medically it was impossible, and after we prayed, he had asked for a Children’s Bible in memory of this prayer. About a year later, his wife got pregnant and she was reading stories from that Bible to the child in womb. Later they learned that God had doubled what they prayed for, they were expecting twins – two boys! When they were born, they gave them biblical names, Peter and Paul.

The commander now explained why he wanted one more Bible. Being far away from his sons, he wanted to read the stories to them from a distance, so that they could hold the same Bibles – he, being here in the battlefield, and them, being at home. Peter and Paul would look at the pictures with their mother and their father would read them the stories on the phone while he protects their homeland.

Our Almighty Lord is the same yesterday and today and forever. He works miracles among us! He sees people’s hearts and speaks to us in wonderful ways through His eternal and unchangeable Word.

Thank you, our dear friends, that we have something to give to these thirsty souls! Because of your support God is touching more and more people through His Word.

With gratitude, yours in Christ,

Anatoliy, Deputy of the President of Ukraine Bible Society
