UKRAINE RESPONSE

Your gifts have made it possible for World Renew to support the efforts of our peer organizations working on the ground in Ukraine and in the surrounding countries where people have sought safety–for months to come.

We are overwhelmed by the support extended to those left vulnerable by the Ukraine conflict through gifts to World Renew.

Here are just a few ways gifts like yours to World Renew’s Ukraine Conflict response are helping members of our global network share Christ’s hope with people left vulnerable by this crisis: in central and eastern Ukraine, where food is becoming scarce, people are receiving emergency food and non-food relief Items; displaced and conflict-affected households in Ukraine, mainly in Transcarpathia, where an estimated 500,000 displaced people now reside, are receiving cash assistance to support their emergency food and non-food needs; and generosity like yours is helping provide medical care to Ukrainian refugees in Moldova where 89% of refugees are women and children. Our network peers continue to shift their response plans as the needs change and we thank God for the generosity that makes it possible for us to walk alongside them. Thank you for your compassion and your gifts. Please continue to keep the people impacted by the Ukraine conflict in your prayers.

But as the Ukraine conflict continues, we are witnessing growing food insecurity around the world; we are appealling for your support so we can continue to address food emergencies and quickly respond to emerging crisis.

A Prayer for Ukraine

Creator God, Lord of all, our Prince of Peace, we come to you in this time of conflict in Ukraine. Our hearts are heavy with all the precious lives we hold and with the reality of the violence so many are experiencing. We pray for peace.

We pray for those who are in positions to make decisions that can create a peaceful path. May you grant wisdom to world leaders to bring about a ceasefire. We pray for wisdom.

We pray for those who are not in positions of power and yet boldly are standing and marching for peace to come. May you grant protection for the people who are caught in the crosshairs of hostilities. We pray for safety.

We pray for those who are searching for safety and seeking refuge within and beyond the borders of Ukraine. We pray for people around the world to love each other as neighbors. We pray for mercy.

We pray that your Spirit will empower us to be bold in our love for sisters and brothers in Ukraine. May our actions point to the love that you call us to live and the peace that you desire for all nations to have. We pray for justice.

We pray this in Your All Powerful Name, Jesus. Hear our prayer. Amen.
