‘War Is Absolute Evil’: Ukrainian Chaplains’ Story
Vitaliy and Maria Tkachuk and their children had to flee their home in Ukraine with little more than the clothes on their backs. They’ve seen their city destroyed by missile attacks. They brace themselves when the air raid sirens blast.
But this husband and wife have also led many people to faith in Jesus Christ in their war-torn country.
Vitaliy and Maria are serving as chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. On this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories., they talk from their home in Ukraine about the work God is doing through them and around them.
You can connect with us through email at gps@billygraham.org or on Billy Graham Radio on Facebook.

John 15:1-17( The Vine and the branches)
John 15:18-16:4( The world hates the disciples)
John 16:5-16( The work of the Holy Spirit❤) in Christ.
Genesis 45:4-15❤
“4 So Joseph❤ said to his brothers❤
, ” Come near to me, please.” And they came near. And he said, ” I am your brother😊❤
, Joseph😊❤, whom you sold to Egypt.
5 And now do not be distress or angry with yourselves(10) because you sold me here, for God( God😊100%❤ our Father who created heavens and earth from heaven) sent me before you(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤&😊❤’s) for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive😊❤ for you many❤ survivors(😊❤’s)
8 So
it was not you who

but God(God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven).
He( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) has made me a father to Pharoah, and lord of all his house and rulers over all the land of Egypt.”( ESV Study Bible)
Pause in here in Christ😊❤ in Genesis 45:8 b on “…of all his house…”(from Genesis 45:8b or middle of the verse) remind me on Moses😊❤ in Hebrews 3:5-6
“5 Now Moses😊❤ was faithful😊❤in all God’s housw as😊❤
a servant😊❤( ” a servant😊❤”), to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,
6but Christ( Jesus(😊1st❤) is faithful😊❤
over😊❤ God’s house😊❤as a son( Jesus😊1st❤). And we (
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤’s
)
are his house😊❤ if indeed
we(
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤’s)
hold😊❤
fast 😊❤
( “hold fast”😊❤) our confident( confident in Jesus( John 1:1-2😊❤ and fix our eyes on Jesus😊1st❤
))
and our(😊❤’s)
boasting 😊❤
in our hope😊❤.”( Hebrews 3:5-6 ESV Study Bible)
Again
” Now
Moses😊❤ is faithful😊❤ in all God(😊100%❤’s) house😊❤ as a servant( ” ae a servant😊❤” of God) to testify😊❤ to the things❤
that were to be spoken later, “( Hebrews 3:5 ESV Study Bible😊❤)
Now resume back to
Genesis 45:9-15
“9 Hurry and go up to my father( Jacob or Isarel😊❤) and say to him😊❤,
‘ Thus says your son Joseph😊❤, God( God 😊100%❤ our Father in heaven or The One who created heavens and earth( from Genesis 1:1😊❤)) has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me;
do not worry( ” do not worry”😊❤ reminds me Matthew 6:25-34😊 ❤ ( Do not worry ) hope to share in Christ later and Matthew 6:33😊❤) Do you also see my God is at work in Christ too? )
“10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you 😊❤
and your children(
😊❤ 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤
)
and your children’s(
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤’s) children, and your flocks😊❤,
your herds😊❤, and all that
you have😊❤.
11 There I will provide( ” will provide😊❤”) for you😊❤, for there are yet five years of famine to come, so that you( Israel😊❤) and your household😊❤, and all that you have, do not come to poverty.’
12 And
now
your eyes😊❤
see😊❤,
and the eyes(😊❤😊❤) of my brother😊❤
Benjamin😊❤
see😊❤,
that is my mouth😊❤ that speaks
😊❤ to you( ❤).
13 You( 😊❤)
must tell
my father( Jacob or Israel😊❤) of all my honor in Egypt,
and of all that you(
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤) have seen.
Hurry and bring my father( Jacob 😊❤
or Israel😊❤) down here❤.”
14 Then he(Joseph😊❤) fell upon his brother Benjamin😊❤’s neck and wept
, and Benjamin😊❤ wept upon his neck.
15 And he kissed all his brothers
(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤) and wept( happy tears in Christ)
upon them.
After that
his brothers(
😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤) talked❤ with him( Jospeu😊❤). “( Genesisb45:4-15 ESV Study Bible) above all in all in Christ and all parenethesis parts in Christ and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ.
