Although anticipated, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was shocking in ils force and consequences. Since 2014, when the ¢ontlict began in East Ukraii)e, we've helped Ihousands of fam ilies who fled the fighiing.

Following the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea and invasion of the Donbas region, we have been holding National t)ays of Prayer, supported by all the church denominations.

Thi5 15 the 3rd year of the full-scale Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Even as the Prayer was taking place, a power cut or incomiiig missile attack could have closed the meeting at any momenl.. But thankfully there was no incident. Preparations for the 7th Major National Day of Prayer were made in the rn05t difficult days of this active phase of Putin's war, with Ukraine on the'back fool" being for six months wilhout Ihe promised supply of American weapons, whilst Russia daily sacrificed her men in the meat-grinder of this unjustified and relentless aggression, and, without any brcak, lobbcd ils mi.ssiles dnd drones indiscrimlnately ticfosb all Ukrdinc. How could we seriously plan for the 7th Day of Praycr in thc National Sport Palace under such conditions? Preparations began 9 months in advance. Starting with the Spiritual Council ()f Bishops, a total of 9 working groups, responsible for the actual programme, for the music and media teams, for the prayer teams covering every aspect of preparation, for the ushers and welcome teams - 1000 people in lotal set out to work. Together they developed a rully integrated unity across denominational, LFeneraliunJl and cultural dividcs. Georgia and Armenia, May 2024: On 9th May David called an historic Day of Prayer for the Republic of Georgia". The future of the country hangs in the balance. Having survived political and economic 'warfare' waged from the Kremlin since 1991 (Georgia gained il5 independence from Kussia in 1991), and having Survived the Ru55ian military invasion of 2008, will the nation now lose control of its independent status? Over 1000 pastors, leaders, worshippers, intercessors and youth of almost every evangelical denomination, including ethnic Kurdish and Iranian Churches, packed the prayer venue, standing room only, to pray on behalf of the natiOT) - for the unity, freedom and peace thAt can only be found in Jesus. From his life-time's experTence David demonstrated that our God always an5wer5 prayer- powerfully. And in Jesus, Name, he declared God's blessing over Georgia.. unity and not division, peace and not war, the devil defeated - a Revival of Faith. 2024 Accounts Page 3 rrom Georgia we went to Vanadzor, the third largest city in Am)enia.
