On this page we would like to provide prayer requests, ideas to help, resources and regular updates from our local partners and members on the war in Ukraine. The content will be updated regularly, so please make sure to check the page for updates on a regular basis.

• We pray for God’s powerful intervention in this horrendous war.

• We pray for peace: The swift ceasing of all violence and God’s peace in the hearts and minds of the fearful.

• We pray for the peace demanders & makers: For courage, for their influence to be magnified and for their protection. In Russia, in Ukraine, on the streets and online, the faith and community leaders, the politicians and the media.

• We pray for the protection and sustaining of all who evacuate people and bring humanitarian aid into the most desperate situations. May the checkpoints be opened, the roads be clear and the fuel and supplies be provided.

• We pray for protection for all who have left everything behind and flee for safety. We pray that they might find tokens of love and rays of hope on their journey. We pray that they may have the strength to make wise decisions about where to go and how to find a level of stability and normality.

• We pray for comfort for the grieving and healing for the traumatised wherever they are. May they discover God’s love and healing power.

• We pray for God’s hope bringers: Those bringing both spiritual hope, hope for troubled minds and humanitarian aid in Ukraine and in surrounding nations. The situation is chaotic but may hope reach where it is needed. We pray for resilience and reinforcements so that the hope can keep flowing.

• We pray against hatred and bitterness: Most Ukrainian and Russian people do not hate each other. We pray for miracles of courageous connection and love.  We pray for peace making collaboration between Russians and Ukrainians abroad. We pray against propaganda which demonises.

• We pray that corruption, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation or profiteering within this tragedy would be disrupted.

• We pray for integrity and discipline among soldiers so that civilians are protected and prisoners of war treated well according to international law.

• We pray for Russians, for families and soldiers who are torn between loyalty to their country and their desire for peace with Ukraine.

• We pray for the politicians who have the power to bring war and occupation to an end and to enable Ukraine and Russia to live in peace as independent sovereign nations.

The RefAid mobile app shows migrants, refugees and those who help them where services are near them – on a map with a very simple interface. A web based content management and communication system allows trusted aid organizations to manage and update their services and to get their critical aid to where it is most urgently needed. The app covers all of Europe and is available also in Ukrainian. Organisations who offer services for refugees are invited to add their information.
