Ukraine: first-ever day of prayer

Russian troops

For the first time ever, on 18 June, all the churches of Ukraine came together for a National Day of Prayer for their war-torn nation and for peace.

The event, called by British evangelist David Hathaway, was attended by thousands and took place at the National Sports Palace in Kiev. Church representatives included Protestant, Catholic, Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox.

They sang hymns to the Lord Jesus Christ and prayed, asking God to unite their nation where corrupt leaders have failed. Each prayed in their own tradition, before uniting behind their Bible Society leader, praying for a miracle to rebuild Ukraine upon the Bible, which they all have in common.
