A Burleson family hasn’t heard from their son in nearly a week after Russian soldiers took him from his home in Ukraine.

Dmitry Bodyu is a Ukrainian-American pastor at Word of Life Church in Melitópol, a city now under Russian control.

His mother Zena said she received a message from her granddaughter this week, that soldiers had taken the 50-year-old, along with phones and computers from the home.
