Description
“Lord, can I trust you?”
Growing up in rural Idaho, Sharyn Borodina never dreamed she would one day call a war zone home. But when Russian forces invaded Crimea in 2014, her family was displaced from their ministry base and the only home her daughters had ever known. Eight years later Russia launched its all-out war on Ukraine, and the Borodin family pivoted to helping the millions forced to flee.
Ukraine was newly liberated from the Soviet Union when Sharyn first visited in the 1990s as an American teenager on a mission for Jesus. That’s where she met her future husband, Ruslan Borodin, a young Ukrainian called as she was to serve Ukraine at a turning point in its history. Although the effects of Communist rule lingered, it was a time of opportunity and hope for the newly free nation. No one knew then how costly it would be to defend that freedom.
For Love of Ukraine is a tragic yet beautiful story of God’s leading, a memoir of nearly thirty years of service in Ukraine. With Sharyn, you’ll see how even in the most painful times in our lives, God carries us. Whatever your own situation, hear God whisper, “Beloved, don’t give up. I’m already working on your behalf. Keep your eyes on me.”
