What is Going On in Ukraine
Just received this e-mail from Ukraine. Can't say from whom but the situation seems dangerous and at the brink of civil war. Please pray for Ukraine. We are going to a leadership retreat in Odessa in late April. Shalom, David Schneier
"Two days ago our president and the parliament passed several laws which are turning us into very controlled and scary nation. First of all the laws were passed by voting by hands (knowing that in the honest way they would never get enough votes). Basically the law was read and number of hands was announced shortly after without counting.
According to the new laws:
- anybody or any organization receiving money from abroad can be charged and put on trial for treason
- going anywhere with more than five cars need for a permission
- wearing same clothes with any propaganda symbols in a group need permission
- any demonstrations including evangelization need permission
- any negative speech towards officials can be punished
- internet companies must limit access to the internet if asked
- distribution of extremist material like posters and fliers - three years in prison
- NGO and churches cannot take part in "extremist" demonstrations, such is any kind of peaceful demonstrations.
- a person can be ruled guilty without being present in court
- all the police and officials charged for violence agains the protesters during demonstrations in the past two months are exempt from punishment
And so on.....
The people are furious and desperate! Mass protests are expected on Sunday and the following week with a small glimpse of hope.
We want Ukraine to be a free nation! We want Ukraine to be a righteous nation!"
p.s. (from the person who sent this to us from his source in Ukraine) As I'm sending this out I want all of you to know that our good friend who is a part of the opposition told ______ to stay home tomorrow and that things may get real bad real quick. We must not be scared, but we must pray for Ukraine and all the people who are seeking a better life for generations to come.

Urgent request for prayer from Ukraine
Dear All,
Below is an urgent request for prayer from Sasha Popazov from Odessa, Ukraine. He leads the Messianic congregation, Gates of Zion, which we helped to found in 1995 and which we remain senior leaders of. The situation in Ukraine is deteriorating as you can see from his plea. Thanks for your persistent prayer for Sasha, for Gates of Zion and for the approximately 20 congregations from Ukraine that are part of the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues (IAMCS). As the European representative for the IAMCS including Eastern Europe, I urge you to take this matter very seriously and to send in words of encouragement that I can forward on to Sasha. Blessings and Shalom. David Schneier
Shalom dear David!
We see now real fight for future of Ukraine. The mane fight in Kiev. In Odessa approximately peaceful. We need a lot of prayer now for wisdom and peace in the country. Any moment can provoke civil war or division of Ukraine unto two or more parts. I know that many families have fight inside of it, because one part of family for Russia, but different part for Europe.
Because of political instability we have some problems with place of meeting for congregation. It is normal for now, but director told us, that any moment everything can change. We need prayer about it. In general we doing good for now. Thank you for prayers and encouragement we have because of you.
With love, Sasha.
