Latvia continues to live in the shadow of the war in Ukraine.

Anxiety rises with the daily arrival of refugees passing through or settling in Latvia. A variety of Christian organisations here are using their properties to house, feed and assist those who have been displaced by the conflict. Convoys of aid are being sent to provide relief both to refugees in countries bordering Ukraine and for those who still remain at home.

For a country as small as Latvia (approximately 2million), this is a huge drain on their resources. Yet the churches have recognised that Christian compassion is not a short-term kneejerk reaction, but a long-term commitment. There is a need to pray for those who are giving, caring, travelling and hosting, that they will be sustained and have their needs supplied.
