Praying for Ukraine NEW

There are issues of particular concern to SGA and we underline these for your specific and continuing prayer.
The war in Ukraine continues to severely impact people's lives and damage civilian infrastructure, triggering evacuations from front-line areas and increasing humanitarian needs.

Pray for the evangelical churches as they seek to provide vital supplies. This is particularly urgent in view of the onset of winter when attacks on energy, water and gas systems, particularly near the frontline, will have critical and even life-threatening consequences. 

Despite the challenges, believers continue to deliver assistance across Ukraine, including the very dangerous regions near to conflict ‘red zones’.

Pray that believers will be kept safe as they distribute aid in these very threatening circumstances.

Medical Mission teams continue to visit remote villages on the frontline, offering care to people who have little or no access to medical support.

Pray for opportunities, while treating people’s physical needs, to break through religious barriers and share the precious Gospel of Hope and Salvation.

We are thankful for opportunities to assist pastors with transport needs, so that they can visit more isolated communities, bringing relief and supplies as well as loving pastoral care to those displaced by the conflict.
Pray for the Grace Shelter families as they continue to endure the hardships of war.

There are several children with serious illnesses. Pray that they will get the medical care that they require.

The conflict in Ukraine has sadly produced many more widows. SGA is endeavouring to support these through its Widows' Project.

Pray for the believers in local churches who bring food, medicines, and fuel for the winter months. May they be emboldened to share the Gospel and that many widows will be converted.

Pray for the ongoing witness and outreach of the churches in Ukraine.

Local church life goes on, and the ‘ordinary’ or common spiritual needs of men, women, boys and girls, must be attended to. Pastors, youth workers, children’s workers, Sunday School teachers need our prayers as they continue their vital ministries from week to week.

Pray for God’s peace to stabilize the hearts of believers as they endure the uncertainties of the war – the randomness and indiscriminate nature of bombing and shelling, the disturbing shifts from periods of relative calm to emergency situations, the profound and painful ruptures to home and family life.
Don’t stop praying. Ukraine needs our prayers – now more than ever. Pray that in the chaos of war, God’s people will be found faithful, and that the ‘gates of hell’ will be stormed, as believers share the message of Christ and have the joy of leading many into the everlasting security of peace with God.
