Russian Conflict Affects C&MA Partner Church

August 13, 2008

With a cease fire agreement in effect, fighting between Russia and neighboring Georgia has diminished, “but there are some reports of continued skirmishes,” says an Alliance worker. ”We do not see any need for concern [for C&MA people], who are in nearby Krasnodar.”  
 
The Evangelical Christian Missionary Union (Alliance ministry partner) has a church in the area where fighting has transpired, about 500 kilometers from Krasnodar. “We are in a position to ask people to pray for peace and for the lives of people suffering and dying in this crisis,” says the worker.  
 
“Currently, we do not think we have any reason for alarm regarding the safety of our staff,” the worker says. “Will you join us in praying for God’s work among people who need Him during this particular crisis?”

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.
