Arrivals

Bloodshed continues in the war in Ukraine.

In one of the deadliest Russian attacks since the war began, two ballistic missiles struck a military training facility and a nearby hospital in Poltava, Ukraine (200 miles southeast of Kyiv), yesterday, killing at least 50 and injuring 200 more. 

President Zelenskyy renewed his pleas for additional help from the U.S. and European allies, saying that every day more munitions don’t arrive “means more lost lives.”

The attack occurred the same day President Putin received a red-carpet welcome from Mongolia, whose leaders ignored an international warrant for Putin’s arrest over alleged war crimes. While it has built a good relationship with Western countries, Mongolia remains economically dependent upon its two powerful neighbors: Russia to the north and China to the south.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
War and the evil it exposes are a terrible reminder that the world is not as it should be. Seek peace where you are and trust that the Lord will end all war in his perfect timing.

“If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone… Do not avenge yourselves… because it is written: ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay,’ says the Lord... Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.”
Romans 12:18–21 (CSB) (read full passage)
