“What I did on summer vacation.” Professor ministers to war orphans and refugees

Columbia International University Business Professor Dr. Dave Bireline is investing part of his summer ministering to Ukrainian refugee children in Moldova on the boarder of Ukraine. He's volunteering with the ministry Roads of Hope whose mission is to protect and prevent orphaned children from traffickers by providing them with care, housing and alternative opportunity.

As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many Roads for Hope orphan homes and partner orphan homes are now serving as refugee houses or are within just a few miles of danger; as close as 20 miles from the Russian army.

In a brief Facebook message, Bireline was on his way to greet Ukrainian refugee children who were about to get off a bus. He was taking the children to a local zoo.
