Jeff Laughlin
International Military Minister — Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ International Ministry)
Jeff Laughlin works with the International Military Ministry of Cru. He and his wife Carol moved their family of 5 kids to the former communist country of Belarus in 1992 and started a Bible college to train young pastors and plant churches. They left in 2007, when the government kicked out the American embassy and most missionaries. After a year and half in Lithuania, they moved to Ukraine and lived in Bucha.
When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, they began to help believers who were bringing supplies to Ukraine soldiers at the front. These men not only provided needed supplies, but risked their own lives sharing the gospel. Thus evangelical chaplaincy was born in Ukraine. The Laughlins printed books about PTSD and held conferences with American chaplains for Ukrainian military, chaplains, and psychologists. One of these books, When War Comes Home, is for the wives of military service members. Jeff has sent many church planters, but praying over a chaplain as he goes off to war—possibly never to return—has redefined his definition of serving Christ. These men are patriots who love their country and bring Christ to where He is needed most.
