'We wanted to give support to Ukrainian soldiers and the response has been overwhelming, we walked in and there were 160 of them sitting there waiting for us.”
CLEVELAND — Cleveland Baptist Church Chaplin Ronald Jackson and his ministry"God Loves Ukraine" have taken 14 trips to Ukraine over the past four years, but none more poignant than his trip this past week.
“I was trying to live life with no regrets, not knowing how much time I had left, so I made the trip to Kiev, Ukraine to see two good my friends," Jackson said. Pastor Peter Folger with Cleveland Baptist Church told News 5 Jackson and his team have been a blessing to so many Ukrainians, with the church and congregation proving thousands in support and supplies. Folger said his parish understands the impact of the Russian attack, with the churches Heritage Christian School adding 120 Ukrainian students in just the past year.
