I walked to the city center from my job for my lunch today, and saw some soldiers in full combat gear and armored cars and tanks. The air force is also flying over the city. Finnish military are conducting urban warfare training drills in several cities in Finland this week. They do it regularly, and this exercise was planned a couple of years ago. Some might think the timing is perfect, or a little scary.

While most people are celebrating international women’s day, South Korea has a presidential election today. Please pray for Korea, that it will have God’s choice in the office and that they will have humility and wisdom to lead this nation to freedom in the near future.

It’s so encouraging when we can advise someone, or help them, and see a burden lifted from their shoulders.
It could be as simple as lending someone a phone, or giving them a life. Perhaps we take them a meal or two when they’re ill, or even just moving house, so they don’t have to think about preparing a meal for themselves.
It can be so very simple, easy and straightforward to help others.
There are some very specific skill sets, which the church will have within it’s walls. It’s no wonder that many churches choose someone who runs a cleaning business to help organise the cleaning in the church. Or a builder to help ensure the buildings are maintained well.

@faith20 that's nothing but shocking
we've got prices on the increase, with energy costs for homes doubling this year, or worse. some folks buy in large groups, and those have had the worst cost rises
petrol and diesel is rising in cost, although it hadn't really come down from the high costs we saw anyway
food is DEFINITELY going up. £0.25 here, and £0.50 there, while packet sizes are definitely shrinking...

#TestimonyTuesday – God on the move in Ukraine
This one comes from a fellow DingDashers - thanks @Cherishingsparrows2020
Every Tuesday well post a Testimony with the hashtag #TestimonyTuesday.
It’s a great idea I was inspired to imitate, from another blogger. Testimonies are so powerful because they are truths from our life. I love reading them, and look forward to reading many more.
Testimonies are so wonderfully powerful!

@bethany it's a fab film
I stayed away from christian films like I did worship takes then CDs...they may be loved by some, but they did anything but worshipful in me!!
But the kendrick brothers films are something else. We've been collecting them over the years. We've got almost al of them now - not so easy in the UK!
War Room is awesome!
Our answered prayer wall (which really needs updating) was copied straight from the film

@sinbach good lad for having that conversation...
while that kind of nonsensical opinion makes my skin crawl, what you've done there is to actually underpin the very essence of one of the things that the people in Ukraine are fighting for - the ability to hold a different opinion and the right to talk about it
like i said, good lad!!
that's a recorded conversation i'm not sure I could have done!
plus, I do truly hope this individual (i saw the thread of Facebook) meets the real Holy Spirit, though...'cos that kind of opinion is just nuts!!

Why we do what we do (it’s kind of an update)
We’ve been working on what we stand for; who we are; what we do and why we do it.
We started, two years ago (2020), simply wanting to create an online, digital, resource – where material we had been creating and using in full-time children’s ministry, could be used to inspire others, or to simply resources others. It was meant to become something of a digital filing cabinet.
And we’ve done that!
At the time of writing these words, we have nearly 450 videos on our YouTube channel. These have been viewed many thousands of times, and many hundreds of minutes of being viewed. Which is a bit humbling!

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Resting Is Proactive! Season 4, Episode 41
We love accomplishing things. Perhaps, like me, you use a digital To Do List. It is immensely satisfying clicking that little tick box, and having the satisfaction of having accomplished something else.
It can be addictive.
We can end up working so hard in order to have achieved something, that we miss out on the actual achieving!
We’re really good at being busy. The church excels at this, sadly. I think we sometimes feel that if we work really hard then, perhaps, God will love us more, or we’ll feel less guilty about something else.
And, yet, there is a pattern of working and resting that was set in stone by God, when He made the world in 6 days, resting on the 7th.
That cycle of working and resting is important! [READ MORE]

"A NUMBER of Russians have left Russia over concerns about the rumoured declaration of martial law and the impact of crippling economic sanctions.
With scheduled flights out of the country suspended except for Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, many have turned their attention to the rail service operated between the Finnish capital of Helsinki and St. Petersburg by VR, the Finnish state-owned railway company."
Please, pray also for the Russian people! All Russians don't support Putin, and life is getting harder in Russia. But I'm afraid they won't feel very welcome in Finland, as hatred towards Russians increase all over the world. Some Finns hate Russians, because of what their forefathers did to our country. But ordinary people are never responsible for their government, or for what their ancestors did!
Today we had a meeting at my workingplace regarding our Russian and Ukrainian students and colleagues. We have zero tolerance for hate speech.
Spent a couple of weeks working on the vision for our online ministry, and this is our finished effort.
