Stop two on our route is the country of Ukraine. I'm taking one country a week, in the order we'll be traveling to them, and praying for each one- last week was Romania and now we're onto Ukraine!
I believe that God will hear our prayers for each of these countries and begin to work in the hearts of the people there to be receptive to the Message we will bring. Pray with me for these people, their country, and our teams as we are serving them.
Here's some information about Ukraine to help know what to pray for.
Ukraine is the second largest European country, slightly smaller than the size of Texas. The terrain is mostly flat plains with some mountains in the southwest, the Carpathian mountains, and in the south on the Crimean Peninsula, near the Black Sea.
Population: 45,433,415
Official language: Ukranian. Russian is also widely spoken
Total languages: 42

Praise the Lord for:
The spiritual background Ukraine has. This was considered the "Bible belt" of the soviet sphere. The Church has persevered through communism and persecution. The country shows a spiritual hunger and the people are open to truth. This is a great opportunity for us to show tell them about the Absolute Truth!
Pray for:
The effects of communism that are still felt in the country. Corruption is rampant in the country as people struggle economically. The majority of the country lives in poverty while a few rich continue to grow their fortune. After the soviet union fell, alcoholism and AIDS rapdily increased as their was a lack of morals in the country.
