This Is What A Pastor From Donetsk Told Me Today (click on the headline above this for the full article.  Intro. is below).  08/20/2014 Posted by Caleb Suko, missionary to Ukraine Today I sat down with a pastor friend (name withheld for safety reasons) from Donetsk. He and his family fled the city over a month ago with hopes that they would soon be able to return.
