Pray for Ukraine

Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,

we pray for the people of Ukraine today.

We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,

that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace,

for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.

Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,

that you would hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Amen

Archbishop Justin Welby

Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

A message from Richard Wallis

Mission Possible has worked in the Odessa area of southern Ukraine for many years. Part of this ministry is running weekly Bible clubs in villages which Ruth and I visited in 2018.  Ironically, some of these villages are located on bleak former Soviet collective farms.   It is feared that the city will soon be under attack.

Many people are now fleeing Odessa. The Mission Possible team is helping to transport refugees to the Moldovan border crossing.  Also, they are providing bedding, food, and spiritual and emotional support at the border. Mission Possible have also worked in the past few years in Moldova, so we have good contacts both sides of the border. Today we received this appeal from Mission Possible’s Eastern European director: ‘we need a lot of funds to help the needs of the refugees and also, if possible, to help in the villages where we have been working. Please raise everything you can.’

Many people are already praying for Ukraine and attached are some prayer resources.  Please pray pray pray. I also know many people want to give.  If you would like to do this through Mission Possible UK, you can do this by
