How to Be Proactive And Support Ukraine With These 7 Resources
War.
Invasion.
Two words that have the impact to ruin your life as you know it. For people like me, who have never known the extent of those two words, it sounds like a distant reality. But for others, those words are all they know.
Currently, in Ukraine, those words are ringing loud and clear. With bombs going off, enemy army forces caving in, and airstrikes no longer a thing of the past. Vladmir Putin is making his name known, as if we didn’t know of his name before. And all we can do from the outside looking in is offer refuge, prayers, and donations.
For all those, who don’t understand the invasion and why Russia is invading Ukraine, read up on the post linked below.
Now, for those who want to do more than just sit and wait.

Prayer
I pray for the families impacted by the invasion. I pray for their safety, their covering, and their loved ones. I pray that this war does not cause massive casualties, and that it ends as quick as it started. Overall, I pray that we never have to see the devastation and destruction in our own countries and that those who are quick to cause harm to others are punished according to your law, God. In Jesus Name. Amen.
DISCLAIMER
** I have been made aware of the African Discrimination happening in Ukraine. Nonetheless, I do pray for the safe passage of everyone out of Ukraine, and pray for the hearts of those filled with hate. No one deserves to be denied their liberties/freedom based on the color of their skin.
There are resources being made available to Africans who are facing discrimination and are in need of assistance.
