Hope for the Stranded and Homeless
As I stood with other believers amid the rubble in the early morning, I watched a man load up his bicycle with what food he could carry. I wondered how he was going to ride that bike out of there with all the debris in the way, and where he planned to go, now thatContinue reading “Hope for the Stranded and Homeless”

Yemen, Japan and Mariupol
Pray for Mariupol, Ukraine, especially for survivors from the attack on a theater, as they emerge from the rubble amidst heavy shelling.

Save the Children
More than 3 million refugees have fled Ukraine now, at least 1.5 million of them children. Amidst the mayhem, about 5000 Ukrainian children are unaccounted for.

Assign Your angel armies to comfort those who mourn, to help them stay warm and well-fed, to open the way for safe passage out of the country, and to open up borders, homes, churches,Continue reading “Ukrainian Refugees”
Do Not Fear
I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”
