April 29 - Pray for Ukraine!

2 Cor. 13:9
We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection.

Thank you for joining the International Missions Society in our "month of prayer for missions." Today we are praying for Ukraine, the country with the largest land area in Europe and a population of about 45 million people. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union for 70 years until it dissolved in 1991, and Ukraine became independent again. Click here for more information on Ukraine.

We have seven churches in Ukraine with a combined membership of over 2,500 disciples. Shawn and Lena Wooten lead the North Region of the Kiev Church, and Shawn also serves as European Missions Director for the International Missions Society. To view today's video from Ukraine, click here.

If you are looking for guidance in terms of what to pray for, here are some suggestions:

1. Pray for a stable government that is favorably disposed to Christianity.
2. Pray that God will strengthen the disciples who are already in the country.
3. Pray that God will open hearts and connect those open hearts with disciples.
4. Pray for nationals to be converted in other churches around the world.
5. Pray for God to inspire brothers and sisters to want to lead others.

If you want to send a note of encouragement to the disciples in Ukraine, please reply to this email and we will pass on your message. Thanks!
