Lift Up Pastors and Churches

As you pray for specific requests submitted by SGA-supported pastors below, please pray for God’s provision, protection, and encouragement for these faithful servants and their congregations.

SGA-supported Pastor Viktor is grateful for the aid his church is able to provide during the war in Ukraine—and how this impacts the Kingdom as displaced Ukrainians have started coming to his church. “We are holding services as usual, Bible study groups, prayer meetings, classes with children. Many unbelievers come to these meetings and fellowships.” Will you pray for these unbelievers right now? May they soon receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

I Will Pray For This

We are celebrating 89 truckloads of aid that have been shipped from our ministry partners in Poland to Ukraine. That’s just under 1,800 tons of emergency supplies and about 10 million meals provided to about 300,000 families. We also estimate that Gospel has gone forth to half a million people who likely had never heard it clearly before. Let’s pray with great thanksgiving to God today and praise Him for the great things He has done!

In the hardest of days of the war in Ukraine this summer, SGA-supported pastors like Sergei continue leading their congregations with baptisms, summer camps, food distribution and other life-changing outreaches. These are our faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who care for many while they themselves suffer as well. Please ask God to encourage their hearts and strengthen them as they serve.

From an SGA-supported pastor’s recent message to displaced Ukrainians: “We preach the Word of God for you so that people may know about salvation . . . that’s why we invite you to come to this church service so that you could hear about the Lord.” Will you pray that all who heard this message will open their hearts and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord?

A praise report from Pastor Leonid in Ukraine: “We continue to serve IDPs [internally displaced persons]. Many come to the service on Sundays, and we are grateful to the Lord for that! Also, our church has had a baptism, where five people made a covenant with God. One young man—an IDP who attended our church meetings—was baptized. We rejoice in this! God is so good!”

Please pray for Pastor Olexander and his team as they travel to minister to people in need. Pray that God’s provision will meet them wherever they may go!

I Will Pray For This

We pray for the children and seniors, the hungry and homeless, and the suffering and vulnerable people of Ukraine. Yet we also praise God for local ministers in Ukraine who are sharing the light of the Gospel with hurting people!

Pastor Oleh thanks God for you and the gift of a Solar Power Survival System for his church in Ukraine. “It allows us to provide discipleship and evangelistic groups on the basis of our church, regardless of whether there is electricity or not,” Oleh says. “Also, this solar system allows us to use it in evangelistic trips to the de-occupied territories where there are always problems with electricity! God’s blessings to you all! May the name of the Lord be glorified!”

Pray for Olesia and her family who had to flee their home during the war in Ukraine. Under the care of SGA-supported Pastor Oleh’s church, this displaced family still struggles with what they’ve seen in the war—especially the children. “The biggest shock was the sound of a neighboring house being bombed,” Olesia says. “My younger daughter . . . has constant problems with her sleep.” May this suffering family experience God’s comfort and peace.

I Will Pray For This

Please continue to pray for the many families who have been devastated by the flooding from the Nova Kakhovka Dam destruction in Ukraine two months ago. After the waters receded, the pervasive mold in their homes was only the beginning of great hardship and difficulty. Access to clean, drinking water continues to be limited. May God, through His people, provide much-needed help and hope.

Pray for Ukraine

War is now raging between Russia and Ukraine. In Ukraine, fathers, husbands, brothers, sons… all men must stay behind to defend their country. And the women, children, and elderly who can escape are fleeing with almost nothing! But getting stuck on roadsides, and with infrastructure damaged or over-used – and even dangerous shelling – they risk death. If they survive the harrowing journey to safety, they must then find shelter. But churches, civic centers, and homes are filling up quickly. Those who stay in Ukraine will surely suffer the most, and the impact on children will be unthinkable. Ukrainians need our urgent, intercessory prayers, and our physical help.
