Our eight-member chaplaincy team spent a week at a frontline military hospital where we served wounded Ukrainian soldiers bravely defending the country on the front line. This trip was made possible thanks to the support of churches and concerned citizens who contributed to providing the necessary resources.

Not only did we provide spiritual support by praying for the wounded and visiting those who cannot move on their own, but we also actively helped with everyday tasks. We prepared coffee and sandwiches, supporting the soldiers in their difficult rehabilitation. We also cut the soldiers' hair, helping them to feel more comfortable. In our free time, we played chess and other board games, which helped to distract from the harsh reality of war and kept morale up. For all patients, we organized a broadcast of a football match between the national teams of Ukraine and Iceland, which added emotional support to the soldiers.

One of the highlights was a barbecue prepared by one of our chaplains. He courageously spent 8 hours grilling 90 kilograms of meat, which was served to all the soldiers in the hospital. We also brought a massage chair, which became a real gift for the wounded, helping them to relax and relieve physical stress.

By living, sleeping and eating with the military, we not only served, but also learned courage and resilience from them. Many of the wounded shared their testimonies, which inspired us to continue our ministry. This trip showed us how important support from the rear is for our defenders. Such trips always require significant resources, and every contribution is of great importance. We sincerely believe that together with you we can do even more by supporting those who defend our freedom every day. Each of us can become a part of such projects by making our own contribution.

Together we can do great things!
