From: Ira Kapitonova in Kyiv (Day 654):

‭‭O God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might.
Psalm‬ ‭54:1‬ ‭

With the holiday season approaching, I wish there was a button we could push to put the war on hold so that life in Ukraine could be back to normal, at least for a few days. We do get these glimpses of normalcy when we enjoy our time together with our family or friends, but these glimpses are always tinted with grim reality.

My friends from YWAM Kyiv are doing what they can to overcome the circumstances and bring a little bit of joy to the children in the liberated villages or those close to the frontline. They are putting together gifts for the kids. The cost of one is $30. If you would like to join them, donate at https://www.ywamkyiv.org/give and write “Christmas gift” in the note.

Let’s also keep praying for the wish of all Ukrainians to come true and for God’s justice to be restored in Ukraine.
