Friends,
We are all watching the events unfolding in Ukraine with deep concern. Our hearts are with all those who are suffering. We think particularly of Salvation Army officers, soldiers and employees who are serving in Ukraine and Russia. May God grant them his protection and enable them to continue serving those who need them desperately right now.
We also pray for world leaders that they will look to God for wisdom and exercise discernment as they work to negotiate an end to the conflict. For those seeking war, we pray they will instead “turn swords into ploughshares” (see Isaiah 2:4) and pursue peace.
As an international Salvation Army, we continue to uphold the principles of compassion, care and service. Even in these dark moments, we trust in God for comfort and strength.
Peace in our time, Lord, we pray.
Commissioners Floyd and Tracey Tidd
Territorial Leaders

Heavenly Father, we come together in unity and prayer believing that you can intervene, and that only you can bring peace to this entire situation. Father God, be with those who are in Ukraine who are trying to help those affected. May you protect them as they minister in your name. Lord Jesus, give discernment and your wisdom to the leaders as decisions are being made. Father we know that you can work miracles where some may see no hope. May your spirit move in ways we can not see, to bring peace where there is war. I ask this in Jesus precious name, Amen.
