Ukraine: one year anniversary of Russian invasion

23 February 2023

Ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, our CMS colleagues and their teams in Ukraine embarked on three days of prayer and fasting. Mission partner Alison Giblett has sent through the following prayer requests:

Pray for the government and all in authority to operate with integrity and be led by God to make wise decisions that lead to victory, peace and restoration of the country and economy.
Pray that local people will seek and find God’s supernatural peace and healing to sleep well at night and not to rely on alcohol or drugs. In particular pray people will release bitterness and revenge to the Judge of all the earth….
Pray for many chaplains to reach all areas of the army, that they and volunteers seeking to bring emotional support will be led by the Spirit of God – the Wonderful Counsellor.
Specifically this week, pray that all the plans of the enemy, to claim some measure of victory, will be thwarted…. We all long for a swift end to the war.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support is vital for us at this time.
