Therefore, it is important to ask in prayer for intercession, so that the Lord gave an opportunity to the churches to survive and develop their ministry. We believe that God will grant wisdom to everyone to act in a difficult time for us.

We ask everyone to join in common prayer for the church and ministers of Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea. Let usunite in prayer for our brothers and sisters and let us not lose courage, but continue to believe that God will send us His peace and protect our land,”goes the message.
