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.

Ecclesiasties 3:14

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.
