Pray for the Lord to help the Ukraine.

1. The above picture is a church in Cherkasy. The Ukraine has been nicknamed “the Bible belt of the former USSR.” There are 548 Awana clubs across the nation, with 23,507 children enrolled (awana.org). Pray for these children and their families to know God’s protection and provision during this time of national crisis.
2. Pray for families whose homes were destroyed in Zhytomyr today. Pray that God will give them strength and comfort in the fact that He offers an eternal Home that can never be attacked.
3. Pray for the mayor and residents of the port city Kherson as they are fighting desperately to keep control of their city.

Pray for the Lord to help the Ukraine.

Note: For the next seven days, each TGP daily post will feature three Ukrainian cities/requests.

1. The above picture is part of Freedom Square in Kharkiv, a location we specifically prayed for January 31st. Tragically, it was hit by a Russian missile yesterday, killing several civilians. Pray for Kharkiv’s search and rescue workers to know the sustaining strength of God.
2. As Kyiv braces for attacks from Russia’s 40 mile long convoy, pray for President Zelenskyy. He has exhibited indomitable courage throughout the crisis. Pray that if he and his family don’t know Jesus, they will trust Him today.
3. Mariupol, a city on the Azov Sea, has been under constant shelling, and is now without electricity. Pray for the Lord to be glorified even in the dark, and to protect His children.

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Przemysl.

1. Przemysl has set up nine stations to care for tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees. Most of these are women and children (men aged 18-60 are required to stay in the Ukraine to help defend their country). Upon arrival, refugees are given meals and medical attention. Pray for Christians to be among Poland’s relief workers, and that they may have opportunities to share the compassion of Christ with those hurting so deeply.
2. Built around the eighth century, Przemysl is one of Poland’s oldest cities (wikipedia). Pray for the oldest person living in Przemysl to personally know the Ancient of Days, and spend eternity with Him.
3. The Bieszczady Mountains are within a two hour drive from Przemysl. Pray for the next family going there for an enjoyable day trip to also discover the truths of Psalm 121.

Faith has been a hallmark of her reign. Yesterday it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II has contracted covid-19. Pray for the Lord to meet whatever her spiritual needs are at this time.
2. Pray for members of the Queen’s family and close staff to trust Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

3. The Ukraine Women’s Guard has offered classes for women on crisis preparation, survival, and self-defense. 700 ladies in Kyiv initially signed up (more than were expected). Pray for these women to also hear how to spiritually prepare for tough times, for that is the most important crisis preparation.

3. Pray for a worker at the local coal mine who has previously considered believing the gospel to go ahead and do so today.
