Pray for Ukraine

Please continue to stand together in prayer for our sisters and brothers in Ukraine who are serving in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances. Baptist leaders write: "Every day we gather news for you to the sounds of air raid sirens. Each such siren can end in rocket attacks."

Despite these attacks, the Baptist Union Coordination Center continues to receive and send aid across Ukraine. During the 75+ days of the war, the humanitarian center in Lviv has received and sent out more than 127 twenty-ton trucks along with at least 320 vehicles – providing much-needed supplies to those in need.

Prayer from the Sunrise Office

O compassionate Lord,
I would prefer power over the storm,
a secure home,
a life protected from the winds.

But help me to live with storms,
shelter with friends,
see my plans broken
but not my life:
rebuilt again and again from the earth.
