For Persecuted Churches

We pray for persecuted churches around the world. For the month of February, we pray for the nations of Russia and the Ukraine. Heavenly Father, we pray for Christians in both nations to endure through governmental oppression and societal indifference to the Gospel. As the nations are on the brink of war, we pray for peace. May your Spirit preside over your people.
Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.
