"Today, we are experiencing one of the most challenging times in the history of our nation, with a neighboring state bombing Ukrainian cities and villages, encroaching upon the country’s sovereignty. There’s a war in Israel. The world stands on the brink of the Third World War. Today, the Lord is seeking advocates who will stand in the gap for Ukraine. For the humility and repentance of the people, for victory and peace, for the preservation of Ukrainian lives, and for the transformation of every sphere of society in the country. Personal prayer, fervent and continual, can influence radical changes in Ukraine. Let us stand in the breach for our Homeland!" - evangelical Christians urge for prayers.
