A MISSION WITHOUT BORDERS by CHAD ROBICHAUD is a powerful story of faith, courage and sacrifice as we hear from the author, a former recon Marine, how he and his team go in to war torn Ukraine to help those who are suffering at the hands of the Russians. We see the truth about the brutal way they attack civilians and destroy the homes and the infrastructure of towns, leaving desolation and death behind them, and also evidence of chemical warfare……
As Chad says, “Nothing makes me so enraged as when I see innocent people, especially children, terrorized by evil men,” and, “how far away does someone have to be before we lose our compassion to help them?” He also says, “If we let politics get in the way of our compassion for people in need, then we should probably change our politics,” and, “there is never a wrong time to do the right thing………All it takes, is all you got.”
I like Chad’s honesty as he speaks of his own battle with PTSD, even as the founder and CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a non profit organization where thousands of veterans are helped throughout the world. He speaks about his battle with letting go of his worry for his son Hunter who joins him in the Ukraine, and for his family in general, learning to trust Gos with them.
I like to see how he and his colleagues pray together and minister to those on the battlefield, and support Ukrainian pastors and chaplains. Of his ministry to the suffering people in the land he says, “Mostly I prayed that they would know that God loved them and that He was going to be with them every step of the way - especially in the middle of so much hardship.” We also see how his own faith in God grows…….
I cannot recommend this excellent book highly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Nelson Books. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
