Last week, on March 3rd, with war raging, our friends in New Life Church baptised 11 people. On Sunday 6th March, Pastor Sasha knelled with his nephew as he repented and turned to Jesus. We praise God for those who continue to share the gospel in these times, and for all those who are giving their lives to Jesus.

Prayer points:
- For Vitaliy S, Artem and the team at Camp MAXIMUM as they co-ordinate a huge effort to provide transport out of conflict zones as well as gathering humanitarian aid for those in need.
- For Vitaliy A. who is travelling from Cherkasy to Kharkiv to deliver aid and retrieve those who need transport to refuge.
- For Pastor Dima who spends a lot of time travelling around the region buying food and other supplies for those who need it.
- For the many families who are now scattered apart from their loved ones as they have had to leave fathers, husbands and brothers behind. We think especially of Natasha and the boys, and Anya and her children.

Send a message to Ukraine
Through this awful time we have been reminded, as I am sure many of you have, of the importance of staying in touch. Praise God that we have the technology today that allows us to do this even when we cannot meet face to face. It would be a huge blessing to our friends in Ukraine if you could send a short video to encourage them and assure them of your prayers. Send it to info@ucm.org.uk or reply to this e-mail, and we will translate it all into Ukrainian for them.
