Ukraine · May 2025

In May 2025, Make a Difference partnered with Biblica and Bridges of Faith to take the first 20,000 copies of the waterproof Bible into Ukraine. Each copy is a pocket-size New Testament and Psalms in Ukrainian, small enough to carry anywhere.

The Bibles came packed 48 to a carton. We loaded the cartons into our van and trailer and took them into Ukraine.

Once there, the Bibles were distributed in different locations: to churches of different denominations, to chaplains and to Christian organisations.

It was a privilege to be part of this trip, a historic one. We are grateful to Biblica and Bridges of Faith for the partnership, and to the churches, chaplains and organisations who received the Bibles.
