New Community Connections
Pray for Ukraine — Day 2
New Community Connections
In the first stage of One Collective’s strategy, a Catalyst goes out into the community to identify and mold potential changemakers. Then, in the next stage, all the agents of transformation are brought together to bring about wholistic change in the community. The final stage happens when these changemakers start spreading their work to other communities. In 2023, we moved into this third phase and began to actively seek out new communities to implement this strategy.
Prayer Points for Today:
First, please pray for our leaders as they set out on a journey across Ukraine to meet new change-makers and discover areas where transformation is needed.
Please lift up the Transform Apostolove Alliance in prayer as it embarks on its mission. As a former war zone, this city bears the scars of years of conflict. After Russia blew up Kakhovka Dam, the town was left without a reliable water supply. When the government failed to provide adequate access to safe drinking water, the emerging Alliance stepped in to fill the void. They are also feeding the neighborhood every day and giving humanitarian goods from their food tent. Apostolove is fortunate to have a mayor who is a Christian and a member of this Alliance.
In a city made infamous by the Russian crimes committed against it, we are also exploring the formation of the Transform Bucha Alliance with churches and NGOs. There is a great need for healing after so much violence and loss of life in this community.
Pray for the Serving Victims of War Alliance, which is launching in Kyiv with intentions to expand throughout Ukraine to bring people together to serve the families that have suffered greatly due to this war. Please say a prayer for the families of the service members who are serving on the front lines. And please say a prayer for the families who have lost loved ones in this conflict. Please keep those who have lost everything and are rebuilding their lives in your prayers. Pray for peace in Ukraine.
