Kyiv, Ukraine: ongoing attacks and power cuts

We thank God that the Tabernacle of the Living God (TLG) church, whom mission partner Alison Giblett serves alongside, remained safe during the latest Russian attacks on Kyiv. Following these attacks on power stations and on the infrastructure, scheduled power cuts have been reinstated and Alison asks for prayer for the engineers and technicians as they work to keep power flowing.

Please continue to pray for Alison and the people she is serving alongside as they continue to live and serve in these incredibly difficult circumstances.
