Dear READ Friend,

READ Ministries is proud to be one of the sponsors of the Minnesota premiere of Testament (Заповіт). This vital documentary captures raw, first-person testimonies from those living through the war, seeking to understand and heal in the present by reconciling with the past.

Josh Tokar, READ Ministries Foreign Projects Coordinator, has been involved in ministry in Ukraine alongside his wife, Svitlana, for over a decade with WorldVenture. Driven by faith and affection for the people of Ukraine, Josh and WorldVenture have collaborated with a team of filmmakers to bring this profoundly moving film (winner of Heartland International Film Festival 2024) to the big screen. The documentary is empathetic and emotionally compelling, standing out with its unique approach to wartime storytelling, focusing solely on the personal testimonies of those affected by the war in Ukraine.
