Grace Shelter has been a partner of SGA for several years now. Situated in Odessa, a city in Ukraine that in recent weeks has seen an escalation in aerial attacks, it continues to care for around 40 orphans in family-style groups.
It is, of course, an extremely stressful time. Inevitably some of the children are developing emotional problems as a result of the constant bombardment of the city they call home, and a lack of basic necessities such as electricity and water.
Yet in the midst of all this trauma, God is still at work – meeting not only their physical needs but more importantly their spiritual needs. It is a particular joy to learn that in recent weeks four of the young people have asked to be baptised, having come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Â
Please pray for Mark, Samuil and sisters Lada and Yelizaveta, that they may all continue to grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus.
Â
Pray also for the ongoing safety of all the children and staff at Grace Shelter.
