Mike is going back to the Ukraine this weekend to fight. Forgive me Lord, but I asked him to put my name on some of those bullets...for the children the Russians have murdered.
He said he would. Please pray for Mike.

Read today that another young American fighting in the Ukraine was killed in action on Monday.
When Mike was home he came and had lunch with me. He talked about his experience in the Ukraine. I asked him...if he were killed how would his family know.
He said they had all written letters to family and friends and left them with their commanding officer...to be sent if they were killed. I don't want to get a letter.
The Ukranians aren't going to send the bodies of these young men home even if they can find them. The bodies will just be buried where they fell. I knew from our talk that he was going to go back and he did.
Please keep him in your prayers...

Heard this from Mike's Mother today. He is permanently banned from FB so she posts updates...
this is what she said..."He and his team are safe. They are preparing for what may potentially be a really bad time due to the Russians "victory day" coming up. Please keep the volunteers and Ukrainians in your prayers."

Heard from Mike this morning. He is tired he says...physically and mentally. Says he misses everyone but knows he is in the right place doing the right thing...so he presses on.
Please keep him in your prayers.

Heard from Mike again this morning...asked him when he is coming home. Told him we are all praying for him.
Please keep him in your prayers.
I think he is going to stay in the Ukraine for the duration.

Haven't answered Mike's last e-mail...he says he is thinking of signing a contract to join the Ukrainian Army. Am not in favor of that on so many levels but not sure what to say to him.
Please pray for me now. I know he respects what I have to say and listens.
If it is God's will that he stays and fights then it doesn't matter what I say...but still.

Just read that Kyiv where Mike is...is getting pounded by Russian missles...
Please keep him in your prayers. He went there to rest...no rest for the weary.

Please keep Mike in your prayers...apparently the Russians are targeting Americans fighting in the Ukrainian Army. The two they have captured are being treated as mercenaries...and will most likely get the death penalty.

Please pray for Mike and his unit. They suffered some heavy loses yesterday. I don't think things are going well in the Ukraine.

It's official...Mike has officially joined the Ukrainian Army and will be there for the duration. Please keep him in your prayers.
Just before last Christmas Mike came to my house and had lunch with me. I told him I had read a magazine article about Mercenaries and thought of him...now he is one.

Just got this from Mike...please pray.
"I cannot release many details, but tomorrow morning I will be turning off my phone, and we will be officially deployed into the red zone. Remember me and my team in your prayers. I have lived a good life. I am thankful for all of my friends and my family. I have not always been the best man I could be, but I have ALWAYS strived to maintain honor and integrity. Our unit needs its glory, and in the next few weeks we will give them this glory or die trying. All my funding has been allotted to multiple people among our volunteer group for food, housing, fuel, and supplies for medical groups helping Ukrainian children. This time it will be for a long time that I will have no phone or contact.
I love you all (well most of you)!
Its like taking the side of Vietnam vs the US here. Very little hope and Moral. But we press onward."
