Ukraine update 4 March
In the last 24 hours we have heard from Pastor Valery that the team are all well. They managed to buy some food as a local shop was briefly open. They are still surrounded by fighting and essential services such as water and electricity are unreliable. Some good news is that some money from supporters in the UK was successfully received by Valery. We are told that only one mobile network is functioning. Please keep praying.
