Dear brothers and sisters, peace to your hearts!
The events of recent days in Russia and Ukraine have shown how quickly things can change and how fragile the world we live in can be. Many processes are so intertwined, affecting the destinies of brotherly peoples, that it inevitably resonates with pain in our hearts.
Jesus Christ affirms that “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”, so let us lift our hearts and voices in prayer to the God of peace, mercy and order, crying out according to His will, expecting His answers.
We call all believers of the Russian Church of Evangelical Faith Christians/Pentecostals to prayer and fasting. God is looking for those who would stand “in the gap for the land”.
From February 27 to March 31, 2022, we declare a fasting and prayer marathon.
Let us pray and fast:
1. That those on whom peace depends may see the ways to establish it and bring peace to the nations. Let us remember that the hearts of kings and rulers are in His hand (Proverbs 21:1).
2. For the churches to sacrificially serve the afflicted.
3. For a deeper understanding what it is “to be light and salt”.
“My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.” (Psalm 27:8)
With prayers,
Head Bishop Eduard Grabovenko and members of the Board
The Russian Church of Christians of Evangelical Faith/Pentecostals
