Transform Uzhhorod Alliance
Pray for Ukraine — Day 1
Transform Uzhhorod Alliance
One Collective's focus around the world is centered on holistic and sustainable development. Our heart's desire is a world in which "no one is invisible" and where "food, freedom, and forgiveness" are equally accessible to all. In Ukraine, our goal is to unite our community in a fight against oppression. We established the Transform Uzhhorod Alliance as Ukraine's first holistically focused group ten years ago. We have worked together for the past decade to bring about change by uniting 26 churches, NGOs, businesses, educational institutions, government agencies, and individuals. As a result of the recent war, we now have a large influx of refugees and IDPs to care for as well.
Prayer Points for Today:
The eleven Alliance members who make up the IDP Project Group need your prayers. As they treat the hundreds of migrants and internally displaced people who pass through our border town every month, they are experiencing trauma fatigue.
As the country transitions from an orphanage-based system to one based on foster family care, please pray for the Alliance members working on the Children at Risk Project Group. Please pray for their efforts to keep families together. Pray that churches would open foster homes and find people willing to take in children who have been abandoned. And pray against the adversary who seeks to maintain the status quo of oppressive orphanages.
Keep members who are concerned with Special Needs Friends in your prayers. Pray that we can open the first 24-hour group house where Adult Friends can live as they continue being part of our community. When their current caregivers are no longer able to take care of them, they will be sent to a mental institution unless they can find a place in our Group Home.
Pray for the Rroma Community Project Group, which serves the most marginalized members of our society, including many low-income families who must resort to garbage diving to feed their children. Pray for them as they distribute food, medicine, training, employment opportunities, and, most importantly, the life-altering Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pray for our University Student Outreach. Most of our team and all the foreign students evacuated when the war broke out. Now that the students are trickling back, we need more volunteers to reassemble our team.
