General Overseer Issues Prayer Alert for Ukraine
Faith News Release, February 25, 2022
Cleveland, TN: With the military invasion by Russian troops into the Ukraine, Dr. Timothy M. Hill, General Overseer of the Church of God, issued the following call to prayer to our church family for those in harms way:
“Our hearts are heavy as we watch and listen to the reports about the invasion that is occurring now in the Ukraine. Our friends and fellow believers in that part of the world are literally seeing their freedom, their livelihood, and their future destroyed. We pray that God will build a hedge of protection around them and provide peace in the midst of this chaos.
Of course, the invasion has also brought turmoil and uncertainty to the world’s financial markets, causing further concerns about the global oil supply.
After facing almost two years of a worldwide pandemic, and now with this invasion, it seems that the enemy of our soul is seeking every way possible to destroy this world that we call home. However, this world is not our home and we long for the heavenly home that is being prepared for us.
Until we make Heaven our home, we live together as brothers and sisters in Christ, sharing each other’s burdens and trials. So, I call on our Church of God family around the world to pray for peace and safety for those in the Ukraine. May God bring peace to our troubled world.”
