On Sunday I was given the outline of notes about ways to be praying for Ukraine. These came from an International Ministries discussion of some sort. Two missionary families we support through International Ministries, Jon and Amanda Good and Nora and Pieter Kalkman, were involved. There was an update of ways that ministry is happening around the Ukraine crisis. Knowing some of what ministry is going on gives guidance for more specific prayers. Here are some things going on and ways to be praying:
- Baptist churches are helping refugees with shelter and food
- Pray for strength for those hosting and resources to use in helping
- Pray that God’s Spirit would give the workers power
- Pray for God’s wisdom and direction for those on the front line in seeking to help an overwhelming crisis
- Pray for peace in Ukraine
- Pray for peace in the hearts of people who are fleeing and people who are helping the refugees
As you pray, if you feel so led, International Ministries is one way that you can give financial support to help our missionaries and the churches they support to do work in this time of crisis. To learn more about International Ministries or to give, visit https://www.internationalministries.org/
