• A women’s Prayer Breakfast was held for the first time in Volyn region. The event became not only a platform for spiritual unity, but also a reminder of the power of joint prayer, mutual support and mercy.
• We thank God for the interesting books that are published in Ukraine. One of these is the work of Alena Bilyk “Triumph of Hope. The History of Faith Passing Through Generations”. The story captivates with the scale of the destinies covered, where each generation passes its own test of loyalty to God. This is a book about the fact that any totalitarian regimes pass away, and faith, hope and love, rooted in God, remain alive in generations.
• The Ukrainian Defense Forces successfully carried out a counterattack and thwarted the plans of the Russian army in the Sloviansk direction.
• Ukraine significantly increased grain exports at the start of the new marketing year. Over the first month of the 2026/27 MY, more than 2.6 million tons of agricultural products were sent abroad.
• Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 1 tank, 5 units of armored combat vehicles, 485 units of automotive equipment.

💥 Threats remain:

• The occupiers massively shelled the Donetsk region. They struck the Zaporizhia region. They attacked 30 settlements in Sumy region. 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.»
John 3:16 NIV

Let’s always pray and not lose heart!

🌻 What we thank God for:

• We thank God for strengthening the spiritual positions of the Church, uniting believers in fervent prayer for Ukraine and people. The marathon of fasting and prayer does not stop. Ivano-Frankivsk region passed the baton to Kharkiv region.
• The spring-summer offensive of the Russians did not bring significant operational results and actually failed. According to analysts of the Institute for the Study of War, the pace of the Russian army’s advance remains low, and in July the Russians captured four times less territory than in the same period last year.
• The United Arab Emirates can help Ukraine with the security of sea routes in the Black Sea. The Ukrainian president said this after a telephone conversation with the president of the UAE.
• Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 5 armored combat vehicles and 353 vehicles.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• The Russians struck a lyceum in Mykolaiv. Russian drones have attacked Kharkiv several times, as well as the Sumy region. In Kharkiv, warehouses of the Ranok and the Knygoland publishing houses were hit. Emergency gas and electricity cuts occurred in the Poltava region due to a night attack.
• The occupiers have advanced near Kostyantynivka and in the Zaporizhia region.

• Russian military collects Ukrainian UAVs that are not destroyed, repairs them and prepares them for future provocations.

🙏 Prayer needs:

•  We pray for the establishment of Christian values ​​in our country, irreconcilability to the legalization of various perversions and distortions. Awareness that only submission to God breaks the shackles and leads to freedom. That radical changes in Ukraine are possible only if we turn to God.

• We pray for the effectiveness of the actions of the Ukrainian command structure. For the choice of the right strategies for conducting military operations and the coordination of all branches of the security forces.

• We pray that each of our soldiers will be under God’s protection. That the Lord will strengthen them physically and morally. That the trials will not be too much for them, but that God will be a hope and a solid foundation for everyone.

• Our prayer is for the protection of Ukrainian ports, which are currently being actively attacked by the enemy. For the protection of grain crops, for the wise distribution of the harvest in order to provide Ukrainians with the necessary food and to be able to export it.

•  And we continue to pray for one of the most acute problems in Ukraine – the demographic crisis. As it is said in the Proverbs of Solomon: “The growing population of the country is the glory of the king; the decreasing population is his ruin” (14:28). We pray for the increase in the birth rate in our country and the creation of the necessary prerequisites for this both at the legislative and executive levels.

• We pray for the unity of the Church, the Body of Christ, in these difficult times. May it be steadfast in upholding God’s principles, uncompromising towards sin, so that it may be salt and light for the people.

🌾 What we thank God for:

• Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, Ukrainian Christians have founded about 160 churches in various countries of Europe. The forced resettlement of Ukrainians has also become an impetus for the spread of the Gospel on the continent.
• The First Lady of the United States has joined in the return of another group of Ukrainian and Russian children to their families. She emphasized that the humanitarian mission should be more important than any political differences. “Every reunion is a reminder that compassion, dignity and family can overcome even the darkest times and war.”
• Our military destroyed an expensive electronic warfare station in occupied Crimea, designed for radio reconnaissance, interception and jamming of signals.

⚠️ Threats remain:

• Russian occupiers struck Lviv, Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and Vinnytsia with cruise missiles. They attacked Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions, Sloviansk with jet drones. They dropped three air bombs on Kherson. Russian drones struck Mykolaiv and the region: the port was damaged.
• Russian troops have begun using delayed-detonation aerial bombs in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which poses an additional threat to civilians and rescue workers.
• There are about 3.9 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine. Most of them have not been able to return home for over two years, and 87% of families are forced to save on basic needs due to financial difficulties.
• Ukraine ranked third in the world ranking of countries with the lowest birth rate.

🙏 Prayer needs:

• Today’s Russian attack on Ukrainian cities has once again demonstrated the need for protection from ballistic missiles, which is a key task for preserving the lives of Ukrainians. We continue to pray for the acceleration of the supply of air defense equipment. That there will be no delays on the part of international partners.

• We pray for the deterrence of the occupiers’ advancement on all fronts. For God’s wisdom for our military leadership in building a strategy for conducting combat operations, as well as strengthening defensive positions.

• We pray for profound changes in the socio-political system in Ukraine in order to eradicate corruption. For the search for systemic solutions to the problem of corruption that has grown during the war. For the establishment of the rule of law in Ukraine, the creation of anti-corruption bodies and their independent activities.

• We pray for our courageous defenders. May every soul be devoted and preserved for the Lord. May human life be the greatest value for commanders, senior military leadership in setting goals, fulfilling tasks, etc.

• The Cabinet of Ministers will additionally allocate 70 million UAH from the reserve fund for the arrangement of anti-drone protection of streets and roads in Sumy.
• Azerbaijan has provided Ukraine with almost 40 tons of equipment that will help strengthen the work of railway workers and support critical infrastructure.

⚡️ Threats remain:

• The President of Ukraine, during a meeting with the President of the United States in Washington, requested an emergency “winter package” of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems. If this problem cannot be resolved by winter, Russian attacks could destroy Ukrainian power plants, leaving millions of Ukrainians without electricity and heating and creating a humanitarian crisis. We pray for this much-needed aid package to be provided to Ukraine and for the protection of our power plants.

• We pray for our defenders. May the Lord hide them under His wings. May God’s truth be their shield.

• We pray for the development of a detailed plan to prepare the Ukrainian energy system for winter and for the possibility of implementing joint projects with partners in the energy sector. That the enemies will not be able to use the cold as a weapon again. We pray for increased international assistance.
• We pray for pastors and ministers who remained in the occupied territories. For God’s protection over them, because Russia is hostile to religious freedom, especially to evangelical believers. That they will stand firm in the truth despite pressure.

• We pray for the spread of the biblical worldview in Ukraine through various educational initiatives and for the formation of leaders for the public sphere. For the preparation of leaders who will influence culture, social processes, and the reconstruction of Ukraine through the applying of Christian values.

🇺🇦 What we thank God for:

• We pray for God’s protection from possible missile attacks. For the precise work of our air defense and its strengthening. For the enemies not to be able to achieve their criminal goals.

• The Ukrainian ports in Odessa and Chornomorsk, through which the lion’s share of Ukrainian exports, especially agricultural ones, pass, have actually stopped working after the Russian strikes.

We pray for the unblocking and safe use of our ports, for the possibility of exporting Ukrainian grain by sea. We also pray for the opening of alternative logistical opportunities.

• We pray for a strong Church in Ukraine, which is undergoing a trial by fire. To stand firm in the truth, not to compromise, but to manifest Christ in all things. That this influence may extend to the entire Body of Christ.

❤️ 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.»

A humanitarian headquarters has been opened on the territory of the church, where the residents of Vyshneve receive the necessary assistance. 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.

• We pray for Ukrainian soldiers, especially the tired, the discouraged, those who are wounded. May there be people nearby who will support, who will bring the Good News, so that everyone will see the light in this darkness. May they be healed in body and soul.

• We pray for the families of military personnel, especially those who were left without husbands. For their social security and assistance, for moral and psychological support.

• We pray for the opening of opportunities for moving to safe places for people who want to leave the occupied or front-line territories. We pray that in the event of a forced evacuation, people are not simply confronted with the fact, but are provided with real support from the state.

• We pray for the work of the medical system in wartime. For the opportunity to have access to quality services, for proper financing of this important area of ​​public life, for a decrease in the level of corruption and for bringing to justice people with unclean hands who profit from the people in need.

• We pray for the Church in Ukraine, that it may have the Spirit of God, live His mission, and fulfill His will. So that the Church in Ukraine would be the Church of God’s mission, God’s vision, and God’s values.

«I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly.»
Psalms 85:8 NIV

Let’s pray with faith, without any doubt! And the Lord will make it happen!
