Please continue praying for the people in Ukraine. As you can tell from the news reports, Kiev is in upheaval. The Russian government may use this as an opportunity to begin reassembling the Soviet Bloc nations. Pray for God’s will to be done & peace to come to this troubled nation. Many are serving in areas that are some distance from Kiev, and they are not in the imminent danger. However, their lives are touched by the rippling effect in politics. Here are some compiled reports from many friends we have all across the nation.
Dear Prayer Team,
Many of you saw the news yesterday reporting as many as 24 deaths and over 100 injured as rioting exploded on the the streets of Kiev. Today has been declared a national day of mourning in Ukraine for the lives lost in skirmishes between police and demonstrators.
I am in contact with our team on the ground in Simferopol nearly every day. All are safe. Today, in Simferopol, people are responding to rumors of the country being placed into a state of emergency. Long lines are forming at gas stations, banks, and stores.

I was out today and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, but this evening things kind of picked up. This is one of those times when we’re glad that we live in a rural small town! You can keep us in prayer for safety and wisdom. Pray for Ukraine and a quick and peaceful resolution to the situation here.
