Edward Graham, COO of Samaritan’s Purse and grandson of Billy Graham, spoke to the people of Ukraine with a message of God’s faithful love and presence during times of hardship. He emphasized at the National Prayer Breakfast in Kyiv that ultimate peace can only be found through Jesus Christ.
“We love Ukraine because God loves the people of Ukraine,” shared Edward Graham, promising ongoing support and vital aid efforts in Jesus’ Name. He highlighted plans to rebuild churches and ministries affected by the war once peace is restored.
Drawing inspiration from the story of the thief on the cross in Luke 23, Graham reminded those suffering in Ukraine that God remembers them in their trials. He strongly encouraged everyone present to seek Christ and rely on Him for hope and strength.
Graham also prayed for a swift end to the conflict and for the transformation of Ukrainian hearts toward lasting peace through faith. He spent time with Samaritan’s Purse staff, many of whom are displaced Ukrainians, encouraging them as they help their fellow citizens amid ongoing dangers.
The ministry, working closely with partner churches, delivers food, water, stoves, and Bibles while sharing the gospel, especially with children and families through Operation Christmas Child. These efforts provide both physical relief and spiritual encouragement grounded in the love and compassion of Christ.
