Distributing food and supplies to this mother and her baby, some of the four million “internal refugees,” as the air raid sirens blared.

FOCUS: Morsberger heard air raid sirens on Ukrainian mission trip

By Emory Morsberger | In Ukraine, I spent a few days helping with food distribution, and meeting a number of the refugees. Most of them were people just like us. I mean, you wouldn’t know them from your average American walking down Peachtree Street. They were disrupted and forced out of their homes, under great pressure, and suddenly ended up in all parts of Ukraine.
