The inspiring true story of US elite special operations veterans fighting for freedom in Ukraine and discovering the power of faith, sacrifice, and hope.

Author, speaker, and former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux offers an honest, no-holds-barred account of what has really been happening in Ukraine and shares powerful stories that are soaked in resiliency and determination, faith, and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming opposition.

When Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux knew that innocent people were about to be exposed to untold brutality. He also knew that God was inviting him to get involved. With little idea of the trials that would follow, Chad's response was simple and clear: "yes." As he gathered a team of elite special operations veterans, he invited his twenty-five-year-old son, Hunter—also a Marine combat veteran—to partner with him in Ukraine. Over the course of seven trips, Chad saw a change in Hunter as his confidence grew and he excelled among the team. Chad's own faith also grew as he learned to relinquish control and trust God with his son, as well as what he witnessed in the brutality of war.

A Mission Without Borders is a powerful account of the lessons we can learn whenever we say yes to God. Chad's experience will help you:

  • Understand what the conflict in Ukraine was like for everyday citizens beyond the political fog.
  • Discover how a bond can grow between a father and son as they face hardship together.
  • Realize that God doesn't just call us to go to the aid of the people we know and love, sometimes he calls us to help strangers—because it's the right thing to do.
  • A Mission Without Borders will take you deep into the war in Ukraine, from Russia's use of ballistic and chemical weapons on civilians to the inspirational story of the role that the Ukrainian church has played in the war. Chad's story of courage and hope will inspire and challenge you.

        Former marine Robichaux (Fight for Us) delivers an uneven account of his aid efforts in Ukraine. Following Russia’s 2022 invasion, Robichaux and his son Hunter headed to Ukraine with Save Our Allies, an organization that aids Americans and allies in war-torn countries. The conflict was “like nothing I’d ever experienced before,” Robichaux writes, describing how he dodged Russian attacks, procured communications supplies, and saw evidence of war crimes, “from mass graves filled with the bodies of women and children to... the use of chemical weapons on civilians.” The author’s harrowing recollections of these atrocities and how he held onto his faith in the face of them are the most resonant parts of the book (“Pain and even death are not permanent,” he writes. “Bad things do happen to good people.... But it’s not the end of the story”). Unfortunately, the impact is undercut by the author’s digressions into such political issues as America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and by his naive policy suggestions, as when he asserts that “the president of the United States does have the power and ability to swiftly end this war” by demanding a ceasefire and leading NATO humanitarian forces into Ukraine. Despite some moving moments, this misses the mark.
