😊 What we thank God for:

• The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations appealed to the state, the international community and religious communities with an appeal not to stop the search for Ukrainians whose fate remains unknown due to Russian aggression. The spiritual leaders addressed separate words of support to families who have been living without news of their loved ones since 2014. The Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations pray for the return of the living, protection of people in captivity, return of the bodies of the deceased, strength for their loved ones and wisdom for those responsible for the search. For before the Almighty Creator, no one is missing. Everyone is known and has a name, worthy of love, memory and return.
• Three more young people returned from the territories occupied by Russia to Ukraine.
• The Armed Forces of Ukraine have expanded the control zone near Kupyansk.
• Ukrainian agricultural producers from nine front-line regions will soon be able to use special polymer sleeves for temporary grain storage free of charge. This step will make it possible to protect the 2026 harvest in conditions of an acute shortage of storage facilities.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 tanks, 7 armored combat vehicles, and 467 units of automotive equipment.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• The Russians have again attacked Kyiv and the region. They attacked Zaporizhzhia with drones. They hit Sloviansk with an aerial bomb. A Russian drone destroyed a key sorting line of the innovative Nova Post terminal in Odessa – modern European-standard equipment cannot be restored.
• Russia has significantly increased the use of jet drones, and Kyiv remains one of the main targets of attacks.
• Britain, the USA, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany have urged their citizens not to travel to Ukraine due to the Russian strikes.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for an end to the bloodshed on Ukrainian land. We pray that the Lord will stop the killing and destruction, protect the lives of Ukrainians and preserve those who are under threat today. We ask God to intervene in this war and open the paths to peace. We pray that among those who make decisions, the desire to find a path to peace, will prevail, so that opportunities for a ceasefire, dialogue and a just settlement will arise.

• We pray for the Ukrainian defenders who came to know God on the front. We ask the Lord to strengthen them in faith, to root them in His Word and to help them grow in the knowledge of Christ even in the midst of difficult trials. May God’s presence be their strength, support, and source of hope when their physical and spiritual strength is almost gone. We also pray for those soldiers who have not yet come to know Christ. We ask the Lord to touch their hearts, to send people through whom they will hear the Gospel, and to open the way to salvation for them. May they even in the midst of war encounter the living God, know His love, and find hope, peace, and salvation in Christ.

• We pray for the Ukrainians who have recently returned from Russian captivity. For their physical recovery, healing of spiritual and psychological trauma, restoration of strength, and return to a full life. We pray that there will be people next to them who will lovingly and patiently help them through the path of rehabilitation and adaptation to civilian life. We ask the Lord to touch their hearts, to open His love to them, and to lead them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

• We also pray for those who are still in Russian captivity. We ask the Lord to be close to them in every moment of trial, to strengthen their hearts, to protect their lives, and to give them the strength to endure. We pray for supernatural protection, for opportunities for exchanges and for a return home, so that each prisoner may live to see the day of their freedom and reunion with their families.

• We pray that Ukrainian retailers will have sufficient resources to operate, be able to maintain jobs, pay wages on time, and support their employees. We ask God for help in restoring supply chains, storing goods, available financing, and favorable conditions for recovery. We pray for the resilience of Ukrainian businesses, so that even in difficult economic conditions, retailers can survive, restore what was lost, and move from survival to development.

• We pray that in this thick darkness, the light of the Church of Christ will shine brightly, that it will be the loud voice of God. That this light will attract souls, so that people will turn to the Lord and come out of the slavery of sin.

«Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from those who are after my blood.»
Psalms 59:1-2 NIV

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We thank the Lord for the fact that Ukraine continues to move forward despite the war: developing its cities, education, culture, technology and international relations. For the strength of Ukrainians not only to endure, but also to create something new.
• Since January, the Ukrainian army has liberated 26 settlements in the Oleksandrivka direction. In the last week alone, our offensive group liberated 15 sq. km of Ukrainian territory.
• Grain exports from Ukraine exceeded last year’s figure.
• Ukrainian fuel companies in July intensified supplies across the western border amid a lack of offers in the southern direction. A western fuel and energy company promptly increased imports from alternative sources.
• The Ministry of Education and Science updated the rules for responding to bullying and violence in educational institutions. Now all such cases will be considered by a single commission, and clear response deadlines have been set for school principals.
• Ukraine and Moldova have agreed to halve the cost of transit of Ukrainian cargo by rail. The new regime will be in effect until the end of 2026. Thank God for this partnership.

⚡️Threats remain:

• Russian troops massively attacked Zaporizhia with ballistic missiles, air bombs and drones. They attacked Kyiv and Odessa. They struck Kherson. They attacked the Kyiv region with strike drones. They struck Balaklia in the Kharkiv region with missiles, and also targeted an educational building in Zolochiv.
• Russia is capable of producing up to 80 Banderol missiles per month. To ensure the declared production rates, they work in three shifts. Russia uses Western components to manufacture its ammunition.
• The Russian military has changed its tactics: instead of massed volleys of North Korean missiles, they now launch them in single bursts. This tactic allows them to test North Korean missiles and work on improving their accuracy.
• In July, at least 634 civilians were killed in strikes between Russia and Ukraine, an average of more than 20 people per day.
• An Nvidia Jetson microcomputer was found in a new Russian missile, which may indicate the use of artificial intelligence.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for the protection of Ukrainian cities and villages. May the Lord protect people from missile and drone attacks, protect homes, hospitals, schools, critical infrastructure and everything that serves the lives of people.

• We pray for honesty and justice in the public life of Ukraine. May the Lord expose corruption, abuse and lies, and grant those in power and resources the fear of God, a clear conscience and responsibility to people.

• We pray for the return of our soldiers home. May as many defenders as possible return to their families alive, unharmed and have the opportunity to continue their peaceful lives.

• We pray for those who have been wounded. May God strengthen them during treatment and recovery, give wisdom to doctors and medics, and there will always be people nearby who are able to support and help.

• We pray for those who receive news of the death of their loved ones. May the Lord be especially close to the families of the fallen, help them to get through the pain of loss and gradually find the strength to live on.

• We pray for the unity of the Church in Ukraine. So that differences between communities do not become a cause for division, and all who call Christ Lord can serve people together and pray for our country.

«Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.»

🌾 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for every day when Ukrainian cities and communities stand firm despite the shelling. For the restored infrastructure, the return of light, heat, water and the opportunity for people to continue living and working.
• Ukrainian farmers have harvested half of the early grain crops.
• The Ministry of Digital Transformation is working with mobile operators to ensure that base stations can operate autonomously for several days in the event of power outages.
• Ukraine and the IAEA are preparing additional measures to protect nuclear and radiation safety in war conditions.

‼️ Threats remain:

• Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles anycivilian infrastructure in Kharkiv region. They carried out a massive attack on Zaporizhia. The occupiers struck Sumy region, dropping four guided aerial bombs on civilian infrastructure in Sumy. They attacked the market in Sloviansk. In Poltava region, the wreckage of a Russian drone fell on a high-rise building.
• South Korea has not yet given a positive response to the request of the President of Ukraine to transfer air defense systems and other military assistance. Seoul emphasized the legislative restrictions on the transfer of military assistance.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for a speedy turnaround in the situation with the shortage of missiles for air defense. After all, the Kremlin is not interested in meaningful negotiations as long as the Russian troops have the opportunity to launch ballistic strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. Patriot is the only system capable of effectively countering Russian ballistic missiles. And their shortage creates the vulnerability of Ukrainian air defense. And Russia is taking advantage of this situation and reorienting part of its defense production to the production of ballistic missiles. We pray that the Kremlin will not be able to use the coming winter to intensify strikes on Ukraine, as well as for strengthening our ability to resist.

• We pray that the Lord will strengthen our defenders spiritually. That in times of fear, pain and uncertainty they will not lose hope, that they will find inner strength and remember that they are not left alone.

• We pray for the preservation of humanity in the midst of war. That pain and injustice will not turn our hearts into cruel ones. May the Lord help us to remain able to sympathize, forgive and do good even in the most difficult circumstances.

• We pray for God’s blessing on Ukrainian families. May the Lord strengthen parents, protect children, restore the lost sense of security and help families get through this time together.

• We pray for pastors, ministers and church leaders. May the Lord give them wisdom, a pure heart, courage and strength to bear responsibility for people, especially in times of exhaustion and great trials.

«See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Your children hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you.»

They struck Dnipro and Nikopol district, destroyed a bridge in Sloviansk. Odesa region was hit by a missile strike. Russian drones attacked gas stations in Kharkiv and Sumy regions.
• Russia sharply increased the intensity of missile attacks on Ukraine in July, using 376 missiles and almost 5 thousand attack drones.
• As a result of the Russian attack, the Ranok publishing house in Kharkiv reported the destruction of about 8 million books, including school textbooks.
• Russian attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure pose risks to exports, the agricultural sector, and the country’s economy as a whole.
• The “Coalition of the Willing,” which unites more than 30 countries to support Ukraine, may face difficulties due to possible changes in political leadership in Europe.

🙏 Prayer needs:

•  We pray for the rise of peacekeeping forces both in Ukraine and abroad for real steps to end the war. On strengthening diplomatic efforts, activating various negotiating groups. We pray that people who hold the highest positions in Ukraine will be leaders of its interests, and not the interests of foreign business groups that make money from this war and are not interested in ending it.

• The upcoming heating season may become the most serious test for Ukraine during the entire period of the full-scale war. Russia will continue to try to use the winter period as a tool to put pressure on Ukraine, focusing strikes on energy facilities. The situation is complicated by the fact that Ukraine currently has a shortage of interceptor missiles for air defense systems capable of effectively shooting down ballistic missiles. We pray for God’s help and protection so that we can survive this winter. For serious and responsible preparation of state agencies for various scenarios of events.

• We pray for the reform of Ukroboronprom ( Ukrainian defense industry), the eradication of corruption in this industry. About the formation of a powerful defense-industrial complex in Ukraine, so that our country can defend itself from external enemies.

• We pray for our defenders. May the Lord be their protection, may there always be a way out in any situation. May miracles happen as proof that God is with those who trust in Him.

• The information front remains very hot: Russian special services are constantly throwing in various fakes. Therefore, let us pray for the prevention of these methods of manipulation, for the futility of the enemy’s attempts to undermine the psychological and emotional state of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines and destabilize the situation in the country.

• We pray that in this difficult time the Church in Ukraine “may have peace, be strengthened, walk in the fear of the Lord and, receiving the comfort of the Holy Spirit, grow,” as it is said in Acts 9:31.

«For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.»

❤️ What we thank God for:

• We thank God for the prayer movement that does not stop in Ukraine and unites different churches. The marathon of fasting and prayer is one of such effective mechanisms. During the week, churches in a certain region pray for our country and people, and then pass the baton to another region. Sumy region passed the torch of prayer to Lviv region.
• Today, our air defense destroyed seven guided aircraft missiles and 95 strike drones of various types.
• Russia did not demonstrate full control over Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region, despite the ceremony organized for its “capture”.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 4 tanks, 6 armored combat vehicles, and 428 vehicles.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• We pray for Ukrainians, that their hearts and minds may be filled not with the information of this world, but with the Word of God, which brings life, gives hope, peace and integrity. May they come to the streams of living water and drink from them. May they be converted to Christ.

• We pray for the leaders of our country, the military leadership, that there may be wisdom, prudence and fear of God in every decision they make, that these decisions may be made for good, that they may be for nation-building.

• We pray for Ukrainian children in the occupied territories, where Russia is pursuing a systematic state policy of militarization and preparation for future service in the Russian armed forces. We pray that the future of Ukrainian children will be an integral part of any peace negotiations, and that the return of children will not be a subject of political bargaining. We pray that the return and protection of our children will remain a permanent separate item on the agenda, along with guarantees that Russia will be held accountable for its crimes.

• We pray that churches in Ukraine will become a source of support for those who have been captured or injured, who have experienced loss. That the Lord, through God’s people, will touch these wounded hearts and they will be healed and granted freedom.

«Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me…But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.»

Despite the destruction, the community emphasizes: missiles can damage the walls of the church, but they are not able to destroy faith. That is why after the first shock, the believers united to help their neighbors, who suffered the most from the Russian attack.
