Ken Ward, a Rome resident who first visited Ukraine in 1994, will be leaving Friday for the war-torn region again.
A pastor for over 30 years, Ward started his work in Moldova, which is just south of Ukraine, nestled above Romania. He’s been spreading the faith and planting churches in Moldova and the Ukraine for 28 years — 20 churches in Moldova and 17 in Ukraine until the war broke out.
