Ukrainian Refugees Now
About a year ago, we published this prayer below for Ukrainians fleeing their home country as the invasion began. Today, I felt the Lord asking us to re-visit that post, as we continue to pray for this country torn apart by war. There are now more than 8 million Ukrainian refugees spread throughout Europe andContinue reading “Ukrainian Refugees Now”

While We Were Praying
While we were praying, Ukraine recaptured more territory in just a few days (about 2,300 square miles) than Russia has gained in all their attacks since April, redefining the battle dramatically and setting off public criticism against Putin from those who had supported him. Lord, while we thank You for this reprieve for the UkrainianContinue reading “While We Were Praying”
Let Us Not Grow Weary
Tired of the constant news of bombings, death and atrocities in Ukraine, our war-weary hearts can tend to wane in prayer, aid and even interest. Donations to Christian agencies like SendRelief.org that provide help for Ukrainians in need have a tendency to dwindle the longer the battle continues. But displaced families are still hungry andContinue reading “Let Us Not Grow Weary”
