Six hours east of Kiev, in Kharkiv province, Anton Tishenko’s church is in day 16 of a 21-day prayer and fasting initiative.

“We gather with our church at 7 a.m., and so we pray about peace in Ukraine, we pray about revival, so we keep praying, we keep fasting and we believe God will protect because He’s a very faithful God,” Tishenko, pastor of New Generation Church, one of the largest evangelical congregations in Kharkiv, told CBN News….

The church sits 25 miles from the Russian border, adjacent to the provinces of Donbass and Luhansk which Russia invaded and took over in 2014…

Kharkiv Church Launches 21-day Prayer and Fasting for Peace in Ukraine.

Despite tense times, Tishenko says God’s power is moving throughout the region. Last year, 27,000 people packed a stadium in Kharkiv for an evangelistic crusade organized by the church.

“People like never before are open to Jesus Christ,” Tishenko said.

He says more than 10,000 people came forward to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior…

Tishenko plans to continue preaching a message of hope despite the Russian threat along the border.

“It’s going to be a great opportunity for us to preach more, to pray more, and we will see how many people will come to the Lord,” Tishenko told CBN News…

Back in Kiev, residents of the city have found a way to live under constant threat from Russia. “We have been living like this for eight years,” said resident Andrey Chekonovsky.

Ukraine’s leaders have sought to reassure the nation that a Russian invasion is not imminent, even as they acknowledge that the threat is real.

“Everything is under control, there is no reason for panic,” said President Zelenskyy. “We know everything, we are ready for anything, hope for the best, and do absolutely all, all that is necessary.”

Adonai Yeshua/Jesus we call on you to place your hedge of protection around the nation of Ukraine! Thank you Lord for the souls of the people that are open to receive your blessing of salvation and we ask that many more be drawn to You and only You! On our knees we praise Your goodness and Your power of deliverance from the forces of darkness! Help us all to walk in Your Light and Wisdom! Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever!

LOL it’s so easy to disassociate fr9m peop half way round the earth. What brought this h9me was the phoyo of an older woman and a young woman with bright red nail polish. Yes! Such a statement of continuing faith and Hope in our Father who hears and answers.
I would like this church to know I have been led to pray for their country since the news of the Biden families nefarious dealings with officials were exposed. I continue pray protection..
We hear of wars and rumors of war knowing our own country is vulnerable to Iraq, Iran, North Korea. The ” big and little satan” philosophy is still alive.
We place our crown at the feet of Jesus..

Lord Jesus, I pray that You put a supernatural shield of protection around Ukraine. It is no coincidence that you are keeping this nation safe, as Your children there are crying out to you for protection, safety, and revival. God’s prayer warriors continue to stand in the gap for the Ukrainian people. By Your grace, Lord, please cause Putin to back down. He is nothing but a bully and tyrant. Please, change his heart, Lord Jesus.

I pray that God will surround Ukraine with His invisible Angel armies. If Russia begins to move against Ukraine that the Lord will open their eyes to see God’s army and then withdraw.
