Summary

Dave Donaldson recently returned to the U.S. after his second trip to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of its Eastern European neighbor. “The city is pretty much obliterated,” Donaldson, co-founder and board chairman of CityServe International, says of the city of Bucha, where Russians are said to have massacred 1,300 people. “It's like watching a sci-fi film.” CityServe is a Christian humanitarian aid organization that works with churches all over the world to meet the needs of local communities. In addition to visiting Bucha, Donaldson also spent time in Kiev and met with bishops from all over Ukraine to learn about the spiritual and physical needs of the people. It's been six months since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, and Ukrainians need “prayer that this war will end,” he says. Donaldson joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what he saw and experienced in Ukraine, and how the people of Ukraine are coping with the death and devastation. Enjoy the show Hosted on Acast.
