Please pray for those in Ukraine!
This will be just a summery of what is happening in Ukraine. Back in November, Ukraine was given a chance to join the EU (European Union). President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, decided to go with Russia instead. The people in the western part of the country was outraged and started protesting in Kiev. Some small protests in other cities, but mainly in Kiev. Since then, it's been mostly just a stand off between police and the protesters. At one point, President Yanukovych offered the opposition leaders (Yatsenyuk and boxer-turned-politician Vitaly Klitschko ) the position of Prime Minister and Asst. Prime Minister, but those positions were refused. Many things have happened up to this point. The last couple of days, at least 25 people have died, protesters and police.
Last night, the President and the opposition leaders agreed on a cease fire. But this morning, fighting started back up, and the death count, I believe is up in the forties.
Now all the banks are closing and people can not get their money....especially missionaries...they can't get to their support. It's like snow days in the south....please don't ignore this situation because you have to much going on in your own life. John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. And by this love, pray for the missionaries, the nationals, and the lost that are dying and going to hell....
Pray for PEACE in Ukraine!!

Prayer is wonderful, but my human side wishes there were more we could do to help.
ReplyDeleteMe too....but when there is absolutely nothing we can do....that's when God can get the most glory!!! Because it is completely out of our hands.
DeleteI was thinking...peace has never come by doing nothing....but people have to die and blood has to be shed to procure freedom!!! Freedom is never free....and that is what the Ukrainians are fighting for....they are willing to give everything to have that freedom!!! :)
