@Toddkapper Lord, please be with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Prepare their hearts, draw them to yourself so that no matter happens on the surface in their life and nation, that a great peace the comes from the heart of Christ to their surrendered heart will be their stabilizing force that keeps their souls calm in the midst of chaos. Impart much wisdom and give them clear minds to know and discern what You know they should do. Thank you. Amén.

WE HAVE TESTED POSITIVE! I've had mild flu symptoms since last Thursday. I took a home test on Fri, that showed negative. I've been working so far this week, but felt tired, and worked shorter days. My husband had fever one night a couple of days ago, but he's been working as well (you don't easily stop him from working, as he has lots of deadlines and meetings). Our son (13 yrs old) has stayed home from school for two days because of symptoms, and last night he got fever. He's still got quite high fever. Tonight my husband wanted to take home tests, and we all three tested positive. None of us are injected with mRNA or have any particular health issues or diagnoses - so our immune systems are probably intact. But please remember us in your prayers anyway - especially Edvin who has fever!

Please pray for a small team traveling!

Be faithful in the little things! God can open doors for you in his timing - he knows when you are ready. Be yourself and focus on what God has put in your heart, even if you would be misunderstood by other people. Shouldn't we be more focused on praying God's will be done in other people's lives, than making our own judgments about them? My experience is that God chooses unlikely people anyway... that he will be glorified, not we.

I have a lot of friends and church relationships in Ukraine. Just got a message from Pastor Sasha...

Hello Todd !
Hope you are alive and well !
Things are getting spooky here a bit , couple of embassies are evacuating their families out of Ukraine. Also a few airlines are not leaving their planes over night. Flying in and a few hours later left. Russian army now because of conquering Belarus last couple of months is less than 100 miles from Kiev/in Belarus But overall there is no panic - praise God !
Please continue to pray as I know you do !
Blessings

Srilanka needs your prayers! Pray for open doors and open hearts !

Please pray for a friend of mine (middle aged) with covid! He's Christian and has asked for prayer. High fever for almost a week. He has taken Ivermectin, Zink, vit D etc. He's not vaccinated (if it matters, since they are so ineffective). He is going to check his lungs at the hospital today. I have no idea what protocol they use for covid, if it helps or if it only boils down to a person's own immunity.

Don't worry or surrender to your fear. For you,ve believed in God now trust and believe in me also.john 14:1.tpt

The news, on the other hand, are these:

1) All over 50s are required to take the vaccine, workers or not. If they don't get vaccinated they will get a fine.

2) To enter supermarkets and pharmacies no vaccine is required but for everything else the three doses of vaccine that are controlled by means of the green pass are mandatory.

3) A negative test is required to go to banks, post offices and public offices.

Those who do not have any vaccines are not allowed to do almost anything.

Electricity and gas have risen by 50% and consequently everything else has soared.

Hi.

I update you on the situation in Italy.

In beautiful Italy, the surprises are not over yet.

Before telling you the news, I will remind you of what is currently in force.

1) Healthcare personnel, police forces and teachers are required to be vaccinated in order to work. And the doses must be three. Those who do not have the three doses, for the Italian state, can also die of hunger.

2) All other jobs can be done with a negative test every two days.

@Berrybunchfamily

Thousands of Italians are in quarantine at home and therefore there are many closed shops.

Restaurants and hotels are empty and risk bankruptcy.

A mask is mandatory on the street and in closed places.

There is a strange atmosphere. People all have sad and worried faces.

There is a campaign of discrimination and denigration against those who are not vaccinated which leads to thinking and saying very unpleasant things against what they call "no vax".

Think that today in Italy those who have done up to the second dose of vaccine are called "no vax". So even those who have been vaccinated but have not taken the last dose are a "no vax".

I have tried to best summarize what is happening but the reality is worse.
