Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
My son Lewis and I just
saw the news of dozens of pro-Russians in Odessa burned out
and killed. We prayed for peace with tears.
Horrible things are
happening in Ukraine. There are more Evangelical Christians in Ukraine than any other part of the former Soviet Union. Some Orthodox
priests have been very brave in trying
to keep the peace.
We must follow their
example and pray for peace and be willing to be peace makers as they are.
Isaiah 2 and 11 call the Church to be the makers of peace and the
examples of peace. People are dying and we must pray and stand in the gap
for the land (Ezekiel 22:30).
Please make Tuesday, May 6th, 2014, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in
Ukraine and between Russia and Ukraine. Atrocities are being committed on both sides, and the future
of the world in our time and the Church in this part of the world depend on
this.
Please share this with
all your Christian friends, family and churches.
In Christ from St.
Petersburg, Russia,
Blake Purcell
Field Director
