We had a very busy but encouraging day today. The hall was almost full, we made meals for 72! Sergei spoke after the Breaking of Bread, lots of children attended Sunday School and Vadim spoke in the Gospel. Many thanks to all who helped today in any way. We really appreciate your help.
Please pray for the country and for the ongoing problem of fuel shortage. Most petrol stations have no fuel. There are mile long queues for those few that have fuel and each car is restricted to 20 litres! One of our friends was in the queue for 3 hours yesterday!
We look forward to another good week and pray for a peaceful one. We have already car/van loads of aid to get ready for various needy families and places.
Please keep praying.

Just uploading some photos from yesterday and today. Great to have Ira and Pasha with us today again. Very difficult day for Pasha as his father’s funeral took place away in the East and he couldn’t be there.
Yesterday we unloaded the lorry load of aid into the main store. Many thanks to all who helped in this heavy work and for those who sent out the aid.
We had a good hymn singing and Prayer meeting after the lorry was unloaded. Marianna, Ira & Lera made us all a delicious chicken curry and rice.
Today many helped to sort some boxes of clothes. Great to have such willing helpers. The kitchen was extremely busy and many were queuing for tables.
Please keep praying.

Please pray for Ira and Pasha tonight *. They are from 2 different towns in the East. Our hearts are breaking for them. We met them both only a few weeks ago but we have come to know them so well, we all work together every day and we love them.
Ira’s cousin, Zenia, is seriously ill in hospital after being caught in bombing in the East. He has multiple injuries. Please pray for Zenia, for Ira and the whole family.
Pasha’s dad passed away today, only 50 years old. He had cancer. Pasha can’t get over for the funeral as his home town is surrounded and is being frequently bombed. Heart breaks for this lovely young man, Pasha. Please pray for him tonight and over the next days and weeks and for his family.
Today was extremely busy with unloading aid lorry and feeding so many people. Will post photos tomorrow.
War sirens sounding tonight again.
Please keep praying.

Many thanks to everyone today for another day’s hard work! Great to see stores tidied up and a lot of the shoeboxes given out.
Busy day in the kitchen too with dining areas full.
The boys worked all day painting part of the orphanage fence.
All ready for another lorry load of aid arriving tomorrow! Please pray for safe travels for everyone to get lorry unloaded and reloaded at border and then unloaded here at night. Also that we might get fuel tomorrow as we couldn’t get any today.
Please keep praying.

So thankful that today was a quiet day. Sirens have just started sounding this evening.
We all worked in stores clearing space for the next lorry load of aid arriving on Wednesday. The kitchen was very busy too.
Work at the orphanage is progressing well. Still the ground floor and basement have to be finished but it’s all taking shape. Praying we can soon see the orphanage opened.
Please keep praying.
[Webmaster comment: the orphanage is about 3 miles from the hall]

It was so nice to get into the hall today and away from the sirens and chaos for a few hours to focus on our great God and the gift of His dear Son.
We had good meetings and Sunday School. Great to see new friends with us today. The hall was well filled and some of us had to stand to eat lunch as dining areas were full.
Praying for all who attended today, some are finding it difficult at this time. There is still no petrol in petrol stations today. Praying for a peaceful night.
Please keep praying.

Another busy but encouraging Sunday. Good to see everyone in the meetings and at Sunday School today. Tim spoke after the Breaking of Bread, Anatoly took Sunday School and the Gospel meeting.
Anna was at the hall after 7 this morning and made a delicious chicken risotto for everyone.
Today there was no fuel in the petrol stations here. We try to keep the car fuel tank as full as possible so this could be a problem now.
Please keep praying.

Just would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Thomas & Nadia, to everyone who helped pack the lorry in Chester [UK] today and to everyone who contributed in any way to help get this load on its way here. We deeply deeply appreciate your kindness and your help.
We pray for safe travels for the driver now as he takes this long journey. We couldn’t help others here without you helping us in UK, Ireland and USA!!
Many thanks too to all who contributed to the boxes being sent from USA. James and Esther sent off another 4 today. We are so thankful.
We were asked today for medical supplies urgently needed in a town which has seen dreadful bombardment. We were able to give boxes of medication today and will hopefully be able to supply more soon. The need is great.
Please keep praying.

All had another busy day today! 2 van loads were brought to the hall from the main aid store. We have sorted almost all of those boxes. Aid was given out from the aid store along with the food bags.
It was great to see so many in for soup and a hot meal today too. Before we finished we got most of a load ready to go to one of the very needy areas which has seen awful atrocities. This load will be picked up tomorrow early.
It’s a privilege to help these dear people. Again a huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone for all your hard work and help.
Please keep praying.
