Updates
Pray for Irpin Bible Church. The pastoral ministry team is working in every way possible to provide those in need with food, gas, transportation, and a gospel witness. Praise that the Russian military has reportedly left Irpin. Praise that Mykola, Vasyl and Sergey could come back to Irpin. On Sunday, April 10, they led a church service in one of their buildings. Pray for water and power to be restored in the city. It looks like they will be restored with natural gas temporarily in mid-April. Praise God for Pastors Mykola and Vasyl recently being featured in the news media and for his expression of Christian faith in the midst of war.
Pray for Charley and Cheryl Warner as they meet with missionaries and nationals who are displaced and work to help those remaining in Ukraine, as well as the many Ukrainians who have fled. Pray for the network of seminaries Charley works with. Praise God that even though their home in Irpin was ransacked, it has not been destroyed and their landlady is alive and well. Pray for wisdom to know when to return to Ukraine.
Pray for Anita Deyneka as she serves as a missionary Mission Eurasia and works with A Family For Every Orphan. Pray for the displaced women and children inside and outside Ukraine—for safe corridors for evacuation and adequate food, water and medical supplies. The Mission Eurasia building in Irpin has been destroyed and the literature stored there has been burned. Praise that no lives were lost.
Pray for Giles and Debbie Davis as they serve with SEND International in Spain and specifically now with Ukrainian refugees. Praise God for the provision he has given to their Discipleship house in providing relief for one group of refugees who are now in homes throughout eastern Europe. Pray for the second wave of refugees who are coming now to the Discipleship house.

Give to Ukraine Relief Efforts
The home church of College Church missionaries Charley and Cheryl Warner, Irpin Bible Church and the pastors who visited College Church are housing displaced citizens of Ukraine. Funds given to the church will go to humanitarian, refugee and war relief.
College Church missionaries Jim and Lynette Hatcher and Greg and Debby Nichols work with GEM reach out to the unbelieving across Europe and seek to help those people grow to know and love the Lord. GEM workers are in place in Ukraine and along the border in an effort to help those affected or displaced; funds will help outfit these camps who are receiving refugees.
College Church missionaries Charley and Cheryl Warner and Barnabas International serve global workers through mentoring and training workers to seek the heart of God. Funds given to Barnabas will give them flexibility to respond to needs as they arise in Ukraine, especially in assisting their ministry partners in the country.
College Church missionary Anita Deyneka and AFFEO strive to help orphans find loving families in their home countries, including Ukraine. Funds given to AFFEO will be used to provide food, water and medical supplies to these orphans and to provide means for them to leave the country, if necessary.
College Church missionaries Chad and Leanna Wiebe work with SEND to partner with churches who are sending missionaries to unreached nations around the world. SEND is collecting funds for Ukraine to provide rapid relief as the needs arise.
