The past several days have been a bit scarier, because russia has been launching over 400 (sometimes 500+) drones, missiles, or bombs in one night throughout Ukraine. The night of June 28-29 was one such evening, just a few days ago. Russia seems to enjoy launching cruise missiles and suicide drones and attacking the general population around or on national holidays—June 30th was “Constitution Day”, which is akin to the Ukrainian Independence Day. The fact that Ukraine has its own separate constitution apart from russia is offensive to folks like putin and his followers.

Please keep praying for our safety and that we will win this war. As I’ve said many times before, every day we survive, we are winning, as their goal is to wipe Ukraine off the map; however, there are many of my friends that will never see their homes again unless we take back parts of Ukraine that are occupied by terrorists and russian regulars—Crimea, Donbas, Luhansk, and Mariupol for example. We have friends or family from each of those areas, and they have had to build new lives from scratch, sometimes multiple times, because of how russia has taken everything from them.

Please also keep praying for the will and spirit to keep fighting and that God would bring national revival to Ukraine both spiritually and socially.

Thank you all for sticking with us and for praying for us! We do see God moving—someone got saved and another got baptized from our small group just a week ago! There is a lot of other fruit in other ways as well—the worship team is growing, we have more opportunities to minister to wounded veterans, and we are exploring ways to serve active military, especially those that are serving and protecting us from our church.

God bless you all!
