We are thankful that Dasha, our friend in Ukraine,
is safe and trusting the Lord as she serves the needy
in the western part of the country.
Cabrini University has produced a YouTube video
of Dasha's work with the refugees.

~ Praise!
The group, Intercessors for America, has a smaller group which has been praying for Ukraine and is in touch with Ukrainian missionaries still in the country. They recently shared some news from a local missionary, who reports the miraculous things God is doing in Ukraine in the midst of tragedy. She spoke of unity, favor, miracles, healing, and mass salvations happening in Ukraine right now. [She writes,] ‘Honestly, I don’t even have the words to describe gratitude or even what I felt when I read your message. I can just truly say this, We feel so covered by these prayers. They are tangibly felt here. I have never felt so covered in my life (and the other team members agree) and it is because of the prayers you all are praying.’ Brother Andrew [who smuggled Bibles into Communist countries decades ago] once said this, ‘Our prayers can go where we cannot… there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.’”

~ Church ministry looks different right now, and we pray that it can normalize as this year goes along. But even though it's different, the mission still remains: we are to preach and share the gospel. We need to continue to be fully aware of the urgent need for the lost to hear about Jesus.
To help us all be praying together for God to save the lost, let's pray for four people to put their faith in Christ through the ministry of our church - however God would have that happen. Whether we see those salvations through an individual's ministry, one of our larger gatherings, a child from one of our families, a YouTube sermon someone stumbles across, or some outreach we organize. How wonderful and joyous it would be to see one turn from their sins and turn to Jesus! Let's pray that God gives us the opportunity to worship in joy and thanksgiving as He gives fruit! Please, Lord Jesus!
