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

1.   Bakhmut is a key city in the Russia – Ukraine conflict. Most of the city residents have fled. Speaking of the determination of Ukrainian resistance there, Russian leader Prigozhin of the mercenary Wagner troops said, “… every house has become a fortress.” This statement is actually what should be spiritually true of every Christian home. Pray for God’s blessings to be on those who against all odds continue to defend their homes.

2. In the video link above, there are short interviews with an 86 year old man and a lady who was a midwife before the invasion. Pray for the salvation of both of these people if they do not already know Jesus.
