Our team in Poland is going back and forth from Ukraine to Poland, helping people carry their luggage. They are joined by YWAMers from Spain, Finland, Mozambique, Romania, Japan, Singapore, Russia, Portugal, and Poland. One of the MercyWorks staff is taking a load of supplies to our co-workers inside Ukraine. I love this!
“The Y Team arrived at the train station just two minutes after the station was bombed. Fortunately, the team was okay. They immediately began to help and transport people out from the station. Please pray for the safety of the team. They realize they cannot help everyone, but want to walk in wisdom to who they can help.
Today the Y leaders are meeting with officials to see how they can help in Kyiv. We have two trucks heading our way with supplies. So grateful, since our warehouse has been empty. Please pray for this to be a weekly delivery of supplies. There are drivers willing to drive to Kyiv so having supplies would really help. Thank you.”

Let’s not be naive .The enemy is working even when we don’t see it.
As we know the past few days Russian troops were pulling away from Kyiv. We have now Kyiv region liberated and we have seen the horrors of war: violence, extreme cruelty, inhumane acts of hatred.
The enemy is changing his strategy.
Some say he is regrouping to strengthen the attack on the East, like East hasn’t had enough of his presence. His plan is to take two regions: Luhgansk and Donetsk.
Some say he will take the land passage to Crimea.
Some say he will go South as far as Odessa and get the Port there.
Some say he will destroy the sowing season and leave Ukraine starving next year.
Some say he will attack Kyiv again, as the troops are gathering at the Belarus border.
Some say he will destroy infrastructure and make Ukraine UNLIVABLE.
Whatever it is, we know that the enemy is scheming – it is not a new thing for us.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” We don’t need to wait for an action from the enemy, we WILL STAND against the SCHEMES .
Lets stand together now, lets pray against the success of the enemy that tries to steal, kill and destroy!! Whatever the plan is we pray against it.
Daniel says: But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Nothing will stop the Kingdom of God!
This next week there will be a need for much more food and supplies in these liberated areas. There will also be many more people taken out of the destroyed cities like Mariuple, Kharkiv and others. There are still thousands of people stranded in these places. Negotiations are going on right now for some large transports of food and supplies. Pray for all those involved in these efforts and thank you for your prayers and giving. Your giving is making all of this possible.
