The horrors of Russian atrocities in Ukraine continue to unfold on our television screens. We wonder where God is in all the suffering, but we can be sure there are many ways God is present even in the midst of this brutal war. One of those ways is the active caring of faithful Christians who are doing all they can to help their neighbors. My Facebook friend Maia Mikhaluk sends daily reports about what her church is doing to support those who have lost homes and loved ones.
