Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
On Wednesday July 16th we have our monthly day of prayer and fasting. The focus this month is for Pastor Leonid, his family, church & ministry, and for the war to cease. He has specifically given us the following prayer points:
My dear friends, I have been on the road these days, travelling, ministering to the wounded, the displaced, and I have only found a little connection and that is a hundred kilometres away from home. Thank you for praying. We rescued 22 wounded people. We evacuated them, gave them first aid and sent them by evacuation train away from the front line. Here are some prayer requests. We live and serve only through your prayers and support.
1. Lord, give us physical and spiritual strength to serve people.
2. Lord, protect us and watch over us.
3. Lord, we’re very much in need of the Word in the power of preaching to unbelievers, there are so many of them.
4. Lord, I want to be a pastor who bears Your image.
Though we may be far away, we are not powerless. Through prayer and fasting, we stand in the gap – interceding for their protection, provision, and courage. Fasting helps us share in their burden, aligning our hearts with God’s compassion. As we pray, we are asking God to move powerfully on their behalf. Let us not grow weary, but remain faithful, trusting that God hears and responds.
With love & blessings, Sandra
