From Bedtime Devotions to Bomb Shelters
Ukraine War Victims Devotionals — Esther Parsons, Mission Eurasia
Esther Parsons shares the powerful story behind the new War Victims devotionals created through the partnership between Keys for Kids Ministries and Mission Eurasia. These special Ukrainian and Russian resources were carefully selected, reviewed by a Ukrainian psychologist, translated, designed, printed, and prepared for distribution to children and teens living through the trauma of war. Esther explains how these devotionals will be placed into the hands of kids in Ukraine—many of whom have never known life without bomb shelters, fear, and loss—so they can discover the hope of Jesus Christ and begin growing in their faith.

Through sports like basketball, soccer, and dance—along with adventure activities, Bible teaching, and quiet time with God—campers are introduced to Jesus in a life-changing way. Kurt shares how Keys for Kids and Unlocked devotionals help campers continue growing after camp, including one girl who went home eager to highlight what she was reading in her Bible and devotional.
