An American missionary who became a well-known pastor in a major Ukrainian city has been kidnapped by Russian soldiers from his home.

Dmitry Bodyu, the pastor of Word of Life Church in Melitopol, was taken by eight to 10 Russian soldiers Saturday, his wife Helen told NBC News. He is 50.

“They came in, took our phones, [electronics and] took him somewhere – I don’t know where,” his wife said.

His daughter, Esther Bodyu-Ogawa, told NBC News the Russians asked if he was American. They also took his passport.
