On 27 June, the All-Ukrainian Volunteer Forum was held in Chernivtsi, which had been organized for the last three years by Mission Eurasia together with the «Mi Rech» Charitable Foundation.
This large-scale event gathered about 300 participants from almost all regions of Ukraine. Representatives of volunteer groups, civil society organizations, military chaplains, and activists who have been unremittingly supporting the Ukrainian defenders and the civilian population since the beginning of the full-scale invasion arrived in Chernivtsi.
Traditionally, representatives from the American Mission Eurasia office have taken part in the Forum. Their warm words of support and prayers were a powerful testimony to the unity of the people in their common faith and hope for the victory of good.
During the Forum, Mykhailo Brytsyn presented his book «The Church and Religious Freedom: Historical, Theological, and Social Dimensions», which provides clear definitions of the main concepts, outlines the legal framework, and analyzes the relationship between the church and the state.
The walk ended with a joint prayer for Ukraine, its soldiers, volunteers, and all those who are working towards victory on various fronts. After the prayer, the participants were served porridge from the Polish kitchen - a symbol of unity, simplicity, and gratitude for joint work.
This forum once again confirmed that the real strength of Ukraine lies in its people.
