🙏 Prayer needs:

• As God’s prophets, placed in our country during this extremely important historical period, we proclaim that the time of war has passed, that it is ending. Looking at the dry dead bones, we say that they will come to life. The Church of Christ is salt and light on this earth, so we proclaim first of all salvation in Christ and spread the Kingdom of God.

• We pray that the hearts of our soldiers, who are constantly in the territory of death, will open to God’s love and His salvation. May the seeds of faith sown earlier grow in their hearts. May support come from above.

We pray that the Lord will help everyone in this difficult trial, help them to endure and return home. We also pray for the organization of new exchanges, for assistance in this matter from international partners.

• We pray for the containment of prices for food products and utilities, for the elimination of excessive pressure on business. For state support for the most vulnerable Ukrainians.

• We pray that God’s people, speaking out against the rulers of the darkness of this world, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens, will be clothed in the full armor of God. That they will act not in their own strength and knowledge, but in His authority and power.

We pray for opportunities to stop these hostile attacks.

• Russia is again preparing for massive shelling of our cities, so let us pray in agreement for God’s protection, for opportunities to repel these attacks. The Lord is the rock of our salvation.

We pray for children who need help, that the Lord will send the right people on their way, that they will be safe, that nothing will threaten their lives.

• We pray that the Church in Ukraine will be uncompromising with sin, that the words of Christ will be the basis of its position. That it will be the one who sheds light where there is darkness, who saves souls and awaits its Savior.

❤️ What we thank God for:

• A large Family Festival was held in Khmelnytskyi, culminating in the March for Family Values.

• Our military hit an important military-industrial complex in Russia.
• ​​France will equip Ukraine with six unmanned sapper robots.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 1 tank, 2 armored combat vehicles, and 76 vehicles.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• In Zaporizhia region, a Russian drone hit a Ukrposhta vehicle. The occupiers dropped a high-explosive aerial bomb-500 in the Kharkiv region, causing civilian casualties. They attacked the Kherson region. A large-scale fire broke out at industrial facilities in Sumy, caused by an attack by Russian drones.
• Russian troops are actively transferring personnel to the border areas of the Kharkiv region. The occupiers are probably preparing for active assaults.
• A fire broke out at a thermal power plant in Bila Tserkva, Kyiv region.
• Russia is increasing its fleet of strategic bombers.
• 41% of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine have turned out to be unprofitable.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray that the Lord will support us in this difficult struggle, so that we do not give up. Let praise to God resound in Ukraine, let prayers rise, because this is our spiritual weapon.

• The Russian occupiers have recently become very active and are actively advancing in the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk regions. We pray that the enemies will be stopped, that their criminal intentions will not be carried out. That they will not steal our territories.

• We pray for our soldiers. May the Lord become their strength, may those who have weakened rise, may hope fill the hearts that have lost it.

• We pray for the country’s economics in this difficult time. For wise management of finances, their direction truly to the needs of the country and people. For the suppression of corruption schemes, the embezzlement of the country’s funds. We pray for the cleansing of Ukraine.

• We pray for people who are left homeless and who do not have the means to secure their accommodation in other territories. Especially for the displaced from Sumy and Kharkiv regions, from where people are being evacuated. We pray that new opportunities will open up for them, that there will be those who will help and support them.

• Ukraine has become a place of spiritual battle and confrontation. Tension is also growing in the world, people are gripped by hopelessness and fear due to uncertainty and the worsening situation. But the Bible says that this must happen in the last days. So we pray that today’s events will not frighten the Church, but, on the contrary, strengthen it, and it will be able to take responsibility at such a time.

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for the deep and thorough work of the Church in Ukraine with youth. Thus, in Bucha, Kyiv region, the youth congress “Voice” was held, which brought together over 500 participants for education, service, and charity. The motto of the congress – “Your voice will be heard” – reflects the organizers’ intention: to direct youth to active service to society and the spread of the Gospel.
• The interceptor drone, which Ukraine uses to combat enemy strike UAVs, shot down Shahed.
• The EU has imposed additional sanctions against three Russian military units for the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
• The United Kingdom has announced 100 new sanctions against Russia – restrictions applied to the country’s military, energy and financial sectors.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 1 tank, 5 armored combat vehicles, 105 units of automotive equipment.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 108 attack drones. Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Zhytomyr, Kherson regions were affected. Attacks were carried out on civilians in a number of cities.
• Russia claims that there are no specific deadlines for preparing a memorandum with Ukraine regarding a possible future cessation of the war and a peace treaty.
• The Russians have begun installing two new types of warheads on long-range drones – both have increased weight from the standard 50 kg to 90 kg.
• The number of young people in Ukrainian society has decreased from 9.969 million in 2022 to 7.654 million as of 2024.
• Fake accounts of the first persons of the state have appeared on social networks.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• An IMF mission has arrived in Kyiv for the 8th review of the Extended Fund Facility with Ukraine. We pray for the work of the mission, for new agreements so that the fund’s financing truly has acceptable conditions. In particular, the NBU’s priority task remains to curb inflation. Therefore, measures to reduce inflationary price pressure, as well as opportunities for further currency liberalization, will be discussed.

• There is an urgent need to pray for our youth, because this is a prayer for the future of the country. The reality is not very encouraging: in particular, the share of young refugees who seek to return from abroad decreased from 66% in 2023 to 32% in 2024. At the same time, the share of those who categorically do not want to return increased from 6% to 19%. But we do not look with physical eyes, but spiritually pave the way to solving this problem. In particular, so that our country is interesting and promising for young people, so that the right policy is already being implemented to establish contact with those outside Ukraine. After all, without proper integration, a generation may be formed that will no longer identify itself as part of Ukrainian society.

• We pray for a further decrease in the effectiveness and influence of anti-Ukrainian propaganda, which is actively promoted in the Russian information space. There is already a shift in this. In particular, the share of Russian citizens who consider Ukraine an enemy state in 2025 decreased to the minimum level since 2014. We pray that the veil will fall from the hearts of Russians, that insight and awareness of reality will come.

• We pray for the cleansing of the Church from impurities that are unpleasant to God. May that which prevents the manifestation of Christ and His power, be burned in the crucible of trials.

«This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.»

🌻 What we thank God for:

• An international strategic conference “Mission of Ukrainian Churches in the European Diaspora” was held in Warsaw, which brought together 24 participants from Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Moldova, Great Britain and the USA. The event brought together evangelical pastors, theologians, missionaries, educators and church leaders to jointly understand the calling of Ukrainian churches in new conditions after the forced displacement of millions of people due to the war.

‼️ Dear intercessors, we live in times when we have to fight not only with an external enemy, but also with an internal one. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has advocated the introduction of registered “partnerships” of homosexuals and other persons with sexual deviations in Ukraine. In addition, the Foreign Ministry supports the introduction of repressive practices against those Ukrainians whose behavior challenges LGBT ideology. We pray that Ukraine will not be defiled by this sin, as this will weaken its spiritual position. That such initiatives will not be approved and will not have further advancement.

• We pray for information protection and counteraction to the powerful Russian propaganda machine, which constantly spreads various narratives about Ukraine, its political situation and moods in society. For the competent development of communication between the leadership of our country and its citizens. That propaganda that seeks to manipulate people will be replaced by ideas and messages that contribute to unification and growth of trust in the country’s politicians and leaders.

• We pray for our defenders, for God’s support for everyone. For conversion to the Lord, for strong spirit and trust in God.

• We pray for the strengthening of the preaching of the Gospel in churches, for any help to the people of this world to be based on the Good News. So that along with material help and spiritual support, people hear from Christians about the main thing – the salvation of the eternal soul in Jesus Christ.

• The occupiers attacked Kyiv and the region with drones. They struck the Odessa region, Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region, and Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region.
• In Toretsk, the Russian army manages to advance in urban battles. This becomes possible only after the complete destruction of the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We do not stop praying for negotiations to end the war. Many contradictions, various demands, acute issues. But we rely not on people, but on God.

• We pray for the soldiers, especially in hot areas, where the occupiers are advancing with great force. We ask that the Lord will reveal himself to them as the Savior of souls, that miracles of salvation may occur in this fire. May opportunities appear where there are none.

• We pray for an additional impetus to the economic development of Ukraine. For the support of the real sector of the economy, i.e. strategically important industries, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.

• We pray for the implementation of specific steps at the state level to overcome the demographic crisis in Ukraine. Analysts warn that by 2050 the population of Ukraine may decrease to 32 million. For the reform of the social protection system, which is under increasing pressure in the conditions of war and the post-war period. We ask for God’s wisdom to overcome the challenges facing our country.

• We pray for orphans. According to official data, almost 15 thousand children are waiting for adoption in Ukraine. For every child to receive love, support and a real home. For people’s hearts to open to such children. After all, adoption is not only a legal act, but also a spiritual testimony of mercy and responsibility in society.

• We pray for the filling of our churches and ourselves with God’s power, for the work of the Holy Spirit in our ministries, and for the people of this world to see Christ in us.

🌞 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for every moment of life, for our country, for the fact that the Lord supports us in these difficult trials. He is the only source of strength, faith and hope for the future.
• A “time capsule” was laid in the foundation of the new building of the Spiritual Center in one of the units of the National Guard in the Kyiv region. All those present, together with representatives of the church prayed so that people could come to God, know Him and receive spiritual and mental comfort in this Spiritual Center.
• The annual conference “Restoration for Ministry” was held in Kyiv for volunteers and chaplains. God’s servants are also exhausted, and if they are not restored, they will not be able to serve. So it was at the same time both training and exchange of experience and spiritual inspiration.
• The government did not change electricity tariffs for the population until October, 31 of this year.
• Ukraine will launch a new program to support displaced persons. The focus of the new government program is housing, services and entrepreneurship for IDPs and the preservation of their local identity.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 5 tanks, 14 units of armored combat vehicles, 140 units of automotive equipment.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray that Ukraine has its refuge in the mighty Name of Jesus. God is the cover and protector of our country, in whom we place our hope.
• We pray for the radical changes in our country, which it desperately needs. For the creation of new churches as one of the ways to counteract evil, for the emergence of leaders who would contribute to these positive changes in Ukraine.
• We pray for our soldiers, for every precious soul for whom Jesus paid the price with His blood. That they would accept the gift of salvation, that they would come under God’s protection.
• We pray for the country’s leaders, regional heads, so that their efforts are directed at finding a way out of critical situations, at how to help people.

‼️ In addition to other threats, the threat of default again looms over Ukraine. It became known that Ukraine was unable to reach an agreement with creditors and must pay approximately $600 million in May. The Ministry of Finance offered investors to restructure the debt in the amount of $3.2 billion, but so far the negotiations have not been successful. There is a need to pray for a compromise option to be agreed with investors, for which there is still at least a month.

• We pray that churches in Ukraine will be filled, that testimonies about the power of God’s Word and prayer will sound. May the Lord turn what the enemy of human souls uses in our country for evil for good, and a spiritual awakening will take place in Ukraine.

• The wonderful liberation of our defenders! Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operators discovered a group of Russian occupiers who had captured three Ukrainian soldiers. Coordinated actions and precise drops of Ukrainian drones forced the enemy to flee and leave the prisoners. Then, with the help of drones, our fighters were able to be led to safe positions.

• We pray that under the cover of war in our country, various perverted ideas that contradict our national mentality and Christian values are not spread. That those forces that are trying to introduce various abominations into our public life are deprived of influence, that the doors of opportunity are closed for them.
• We pray for our brothers and sisters in the occupied territories. In particular, there is information that in the occupied Kherson region, Russian security forces have begun repressions against Ukrainian priests due to the alleged “insufficient support” of the Russian army. We pray for God’s protection for them, for steadfastness and loyalty to God.
• The war has destroyed many destinies, wounded and broken hearts. Let us pray for these people, that God’s love may free them from pain and tragic memories, that it may heal and fill them with meaning to live on. May the Lord send His messengers to them, who would bring them Good News, help them to be filled with His Word and His Spirit.

• Russian troops are using Iskander ballistic missiles and North Korean cluster warheads over Ukraine, which is leading to mass civilian casualties.

• We pray for the war to stop, for the bloodshed to stop in Ukraine. May those who seek to continue this slaughter be deprived of strength. Among other things, with each year of the war in Ukraine, the demographic situation worsens. Low birth rates and high mortality are causing new demographic losses to our country. Scientists note that the longer the war continues, the greater these losses will become, and forced Ukrainian migrants will postpone the moment of returning home.

• We pray for the growth of influential spiritual leaders who, obeying Christ first and foremost and not seeking their own, would lead and serve people in the difficult conditions of global changes. For balance in these ministries, for understanding the time in which we live, for belonging in everything to Christ, and not to this world.

«I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.»

💛💙 What we thank God for:

• We thank God that the Church is the defender of the interests of ordinary people, for the cooperation of the Church with various public organizations, as well as representatives of the authorities for the sake of serving Ukrainians who are currently going through difficult times and need all kinds of help. Thank God for the open opportunities to proclaim the Good News.
• Our soldiers thwarted the Russian offensive in Sumy region.
• A team of volunteers from Smila made another trip to the east of Ukraine to serve hot meals to Ukrainian defenders. The main goal was not just to feed them, but to let them feel home warmth, sincere care and support and to tell about God’s love.
• A small breakthrough occurred in the Pokrovsk direction, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine recaptured the village of Kotlyne. Russian aggressors are retreating from the western outskirts of Pokrovsk.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 2 tanks, 2 armored combat vehicles, and 50 units of automotive equipment.

🔥 Threats remain:

• Russian occupation forces continue shelling the Sumy and Kharkiv regions with guided aerial bombs. They attacked Ukraine with three missiles, including “Onyx”, and almost 100 drones. They attacked Mykolaiv and Kherson.
• Russia is setting up “anti-drone corridors” on the front. These corridors are roads that the enemy covers with nets so that equipment can move there and Ukrainian drones cannot target it.
• The Russian military continues to keep the Kalibr cruise missile carrier in the Black Sea. There is a risk of a missile strike on the territory of Ukraine.
• The Russian government is militarizing its society to justify the invasion of Ukraine and, probably, setting it up for a possible future protracted conflict with NATO.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for an end to the war, for the success of negotiations at all levels to establish peace in Ukraine. We pray that the enemies will not succeed in tearing our country apart, but that the Lord will preserve it.
• We bless our soldiers. We pray for the preservation of lives, for supernatural miracles of protection, healing, and the conversion of souls to Christ.
• We pray for the prevention of the collapse of our economy, as well as for the prevention of the depreciation of our national currency. On support for small and medium-sized businesses, rational use of funds from the state budget
• We pray for the return of our Ukrainians – deportees, prisoners of war and civilians in captivity, as well as those who left their homeland because of the war. May the Lord help gather Ukrainians, help those in captivity to survive. We pray that the Lord will save our people from destruction.
• We pray for the mental health of Ukrainians. For timely assistance to those who have experienced stress. For people to find peace and comfort in Christ.
• We pray for people remaining in frontline cities and villages. For their protection, especially children. For the provision of state volunteer, and spiritual support.
• We pray for the unity of the Church in Ukraine, that it may announce God’s Truth, be a strong and influential voice for people, that it may have answers to the questions that arise today, and that it may be able to effectively serve and help.

«But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.»

Christ is Risen!

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We are thankful for Christ’s sacrifice of redemption and the Resurrection. Life has conquered death! Thank God for the grace given to all people, for the light that no darkness can embrace. Thank God for the victory over sin.
• The Marathon of Fasting and Prayer continues. The people of God pray, holding spiritual positions. The Khmelnytskyi region passed the baton to the Rivne region.
• Russian troops in the Pokrovsk direction are forced to retreat.
• 277 defenders returned to Ukraine, 36 of them were released outside the formal exchange. Among those released is also a military woman who spent almost two years in captivity.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• Russia is trying to create a general impression of a ceasefire, but in some places it does not abandon attempts to advance and inflict losses on Ukraine.
• In the Toretsk direction, our soldiers fell into a Russian ambush.
• Russia has intensified shelling on the front.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for our people and country. Despite the bloody plans of the evil one, who acts through various people, we, as God’s people, who have power and authority in Christ, proclaim the fulfillment of God’s will on our land. We believe that He has the power to resurrect, we believe that dry bones will come to life. God is our resurrection and life.
• On this day, we pray for those who hold the defense in the trenches, are in dugouts and on combat duty. May they be under God’s protection, may their hearts be filled with faith. May death not touch their souls, may they find life in Christ.
• We pray for the higher military command. We pray for prudence and balance in every decision made. For the coordination of actions of all military units. We pray for the observance of the ceasefire by both sides, which was announced by Russia and supported by Ukraine.
• A special request is for the prisoners. We thank God for everyone who has already received freedom and returned to their homeland. And we pray for those who are in Russian captivity. We ask that the Lord lead them through, that He preserve lives, that He touch hearts.
• We pray for additional impetus to the economic development of Ukraine. For support for the real sector of the economy, i.e. strategically important industries, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.
• We pray that God will count us – those who believe in Him – worthy of His calling and that by His power He will help us to realize every good intention and every good work, so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in us.

«…Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! HE IS RISEN from the dead!..”
