A Mission Without Borders

Why a Father and Son Risked It All for the People of Ukraine

By: Chad Robichaux, David L. Thomas, Craig Borlase - contributor, Edward Graham - foreword

Narrated by: Hunter Robichaux, James R. Cheatham

Read by the author Chad Robichaux.

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 exceled among the team. Chad's own faith also grew as he learned to relinquish control and trust God with his son and 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 listeners

• 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; and
• 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 listeners 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 needs to be heard. It is rich in human and spiritual truth and will connect deeply with listeners of all walks.

A father & son's love

Chad & Hunter Robichaux give a great testimony of their love and faith in family & God.

Eye-opening / Enthralling

Chad Robichaux was the reader of this audible book, which was a huge plus.

The story is more intense hearing him read his own words.

The book is a rollercoaster of emotions.

The physical and mental strength of this man and his team, his purpose in life, and his willingness to share it, is highly appreciated. His writing abilities were able to take me on scene, as I felt as if I was there through it all.

As a dedicated Audible reader (ranked Scholar level), I highly recommend this book.

Outstanding Story

Easily the best book I’ve listened to this year. A fantastic story line with true lessons learned through the eyes and experience of some of the best out there.

If being strong and courageous were in the flesh

The strength to be courageous is contagious and I pray we all catch it! This book is a testament to Gods provision in his will. I’ve never heard “if it’s Gods will, it’s Gods bill” but I loved that. I listened in one night while running a newspaper route many times hollering Amen or hype statements to the author as if I were listening to this speech in person. I would recommend for all Americans to read and take note we are in desperate need of the church to stand up and do our job!!!

It doesn’t have to be worth it, to do the right thing

Powerful testimony to first hand reports of doing what Jesus called us to do, in bumpy faith. He knows us and calls us anyway.

It doesn’t have to be worth it, to do the right thing!

I swear devil dogs are some of the best folks in the world. Bless this family 🤙🏼🙏🏼

The families comment to God and service.

If you love Jesus and you want to have a servants heart…listen to this book. We all don’t have to be on the front line but we should be pushed out of our comfort zone in his plan/our mission. We all have a gift…. FIND. IT and SERVE HIM!

Incredibly inspiring!

Former Marine here and I’m inspired and encouraged by Chad, his son Hunter, and everyone at Mighty Oaks. Thanks for inspiring other vets to live life with purpose!

God has warriors here on earth

Incredible account of this teams work saving the vulnerable throughout wars. Must read. There is hope for humanity!

“It doesn’t have to be.”

When asked the question is it worth it?

For doing the right thing…. The response “it doesn’t have to be.” Is very true, but tough to accept.

Being unconditional is tough.

Wanting to say something to relate, when we should remain silent, be patient is actually how we listen.

Trusting God’s will instead of trying to bend his to our own.

These are greatest lessons I learned here.

God bless you Chad, your family, friends and team for doing the great work you do. May God be with you.

Thank you.
