Serving the Community

Like hundreds of other religious buildings in Ukraine, the war left its mark on Vorzel Pentecostal Church. Russian helicopters shot two rockets into the church’s front entrance. The projectiles came through the wall but, miraculously, did not explode. As combat intensified, no government authorities or charities provided aid in the Vorzel area. However, believers in Western Ukraine sent supplies to the front lines, and Vorzel Pentecostal Church’s staff distributed relief to nearby residents. Vorzel Pentecostal’s pastor, Volodymyr Velykiy, explains, “The church turned into a humanitarian hub. There were days we served 700-800 people.” Pray for Vorzel Pentecostal Church and the other Ukrainian churches serving their communities.

  • Pray for protection over Vorzel Pentecostal Church’s staff and congregation.
  • Pray that the church can continue reaching into nearby communities with Jesus’ love.
  • Pray that non-believers are drawn to the church during the conflict.

As war rages across Ukraine, pray that more people are called to meet the desperate needs throughout the country. Also, pray for safety for the global workers in Ukraine.

Living in Destruction

Maria, an 84-year-old, lives alone in the village of Ukrainka, her home for 61 years. During the fighting, Maria’s home was destroyed by missiles. She has received help rebuilding parts of the walls and ceiling, but she still lives without heat, except for one small stove in the kitchen. She sleeps in the kitchen, next to her single-burner stove. Maria came forward for prayer during outreach in Ukrainka. She began to weep. “I am always grateful for prayer,” Maria said. She continued, “I feel warm inside. … It makes me think that maybe God will help Ukraine. Maybe this war will stop. Maybe our soldiers will stop dying every day.” Pray for Maria.

  • Pray that Maria can receive help rebuilding her home.
  • Pray for peace and strength for the other elderly citizens across Ukraine as they live in destruction.
