Would you pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine?
Early this morning, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. The current attacks near the Ukraine-Russia border are about a 30-minute to 1-hour drive from Lifesong’s ministry sites.
All of the children and families we serve, as well as our staff and their families, are safe at this time. Our team prepared for this invasion by gathering food, water, fuel, and supplies, and they continue gathering supplies today.
We are enacting contingency plans and moving our staff, families, and youth to the safest locations we can, wherever possible.
Our hearts are heavy with what is happening. Would you pray for Ukraine? Please pray for:
- Wisdom and discernment for government officials and decision-makers.
- The children and families Lifesong serves to experience God’s unconditional love and peace.
- The continued safety and protection of vulnerable children, staff, volunteers, and families.
- Peace in and surrounding Ukraine.
- God’s glory through the heavy challenges.
We find encouragement in the words and mindset of Denis Poshelok, Director of Lifesong Ukraine. He recently wrote, “God is in control. In times like this, people are more open to the Gospel and are searching for answers that only He has. It’s an ideal time to serve people and point them to Christ. Our fight is a spiritual one, and we trust God will lead us through all this, as He always does.”
Thank you for your commitment to supporting and praying for God’s work in Ukraine!
The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
PSALM 9:9-10
