This week I welcome a fellow staff member from The Fellowship’s Israel office, Gadi Teichman Dan. Gadi has made numerous trips to Ukraine and Moldova since the war broke out, providing lifesaving assistance to the thousands of needy people in the warzone.

Like so many Israelis, Gadi is no stranger to warfare. He served in the IDF, so he understands military operations. And like so many of us here in Israel, he lives under the constant threat of rocket fire from Gaza. But nothing prepared him for what he has seen or experienced in Ukraine—in the early days of the war, or a year later, as the needs of the Ukrainian people have only grown.

Don’t miss this emotional and eye-opening conversation.
