Introduction
Thank you for your desire to pray for peace in Ukraine.
In the Kharkiv Church of the Transfiguration, worship services have not stopped since the beginning of the war. Every Sunday, worship services are held from 10 am to 12 pm, during which we pray for God’s protection of Ukraine from the Russian invaders and for an end to the war.
In addition, prayer services are held daily, from Monday to Friday, from 12 pm.
On Thursdays, members of our church participate in prayer and fasting for various needs of believers and non-believers related to the war.
Due to the war, approximately 30 percent of our church members left Kharkiv. But other people arrived in Kharkiv – displaced persons from various cities and villages of Eastern Ukraine. Several dozen people attend Sunday worship services. About 100 people study the Bible in small groups. Thank God!
Here is our prayer request:
- We pray for Ukraine’s leaders: for wisdom and God’s guidance.
- We pray for God’s protection of Ukraine’s defenders.
- We pray for healing and prosthetics for the wounded.
- We pray for the families of military personnel, for their needs, for their faith in the Lord.
- We pray for the conversion to the Lord of the non-church people who visit our services and groups.
I wish you blessings from the Lord in your ministry.
Gennady Pylypenko,
Pastor of the Kharkiv Transfiguration Church of Evangelical Baptist Christians
