Journeying with Ukrainians

Lee Brubacher

Be careful what you pray for. Sometimes our bold prayers have a way of being answered in literal ways. What begins as generic prayer for gospel witness or open doors can suddenly turn into real-life names and faces of those the Lord brings across our path. Living in a spiritual comfort zone is no longer an option. Personal sacrifice is required when bold prayers are prayed. Such was the case in 2022 when God birthed a new life verse in me.
