A note from Svitlana, asking for our prayers today :
Dear friends,
As we set off to our eastern Ukrainian frontline trip I am writing to ask you for prayers.
We are going in two vans, team of six people: Malcolm, Laura (Slovenian doctor), Edik, Lionia (my brother), my dad and I. Sasha and Kolia, the chaplains are going us for some time already there.
Please pray as we travel for smooth travel, safety, God working in the lives of the people we meet and help. The drone danger is growing and the front line has moved a bit further that’s why we are not planning to go into Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. We are planning to stay in Kharkiv, have a service in Izium. From Izium to Pavlohrad we are going to take the third furtherst route from the frontline this time. We are staying in Pavlohrad with a couple we stayed last times. Though they are trying to find a place they can afford in the western Ukraine as Pavlohrad is becoming closer th the frontline and is getting more bombing, so we don’t know for how long we will have our relatively safe hub there. We are also going to visit hospitals, field washing facilities, a shelter for refugees and soldiers with Edik and chaplains.
Please pray for Laura as she is staying at the stabilisation point for ten days that she managed to get off her work in Slovenia.
Your prayerful support is much appreciated.
Grace, peace and blessings,
Svitlana
I am including the email from Malcolm, some of you might have received last night:
Hi dear friends…I havent had time to make this an interesting format but I thought I’d include a prayer request for those interested.
Tomorrow our Front line team moves swiftly into the Donbas area taking in Kharkiv, Izoum, passing Sloviansk and Kramatorsk and various villages and moving on to Pavlohrad. We will be sharing the gospel with civilians and military as well as taking practical needs from water to generators, medical and hygiene supplies, gas heaters and robot materials, chocolate bars, and lots more. One of our team is an emergency doctor from Slovenia. She will be treating the injured. If anyone would like a report from our team more often or in person during our support raising trips to GB (next one in October) please let me know. m@cleggs.pl.
May the Lord keep you safe,
Malcolm
