Shabbat Shalom from David & Leslye

Shabbat Shalom from David & Leslye Schneier

Beth Hallel Birmingham and Gates of Zion, Odessa, Ukraine

URGENT - Need prayer in Birmingham, AL

Just two to four inches of snow is grinding Birmingham, AL to a halt. Cars are being abandoned on all of the highways. Two of our congregants and the secretary of a church that rents from us will staying with us overnight. And we just got a call from a mother stranded somewhere that her child, who is 6 months old, is at a daycare center across from the street from us. The workers there want to leave and they are telling her that it's not legal to keep her child overnight. Now Leslye is telling me there are 30+ kids stranded there by the snow at the day care center. Not sure how this is going to work out so pray for us. David & Leslye Schneier

 This just in. A woman stranded on I-65 saw our building and called to see if she could seek refuge there. The night begins!!

The battle between old system and those who seek freedom in Ukraine takes a medieval twist

Here's a link to the current scenes in the streets of Kiev. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/468223-in-ukraine-protests-resemble-medieval-battle-photos/?photo=1 Unrest is spreading to western Ukraine, a hotbed for Ukrainian nationalists who do not want the current regime or Putin's control. These days are critical as Yanokovich seems to want to end the unrest. Keep up the prayer. Shalom. David Schneier

Serious update from Ukraine

  Things seem to be moving in the wrong direction in Ukraine. I just received this e-mail from my reliable source in Ukraine. Please step up the prayer and let you representatives in the US know of your concern. Shalom. David Schneier

"Just letting u know that the Ukrainian government has announced that they plan to turn off all internet, TV, and cell phone service starting tomorrow. This may not happen, but they announced it. Please pass along for prayer."

Here is a livestream link for what is going on in Kiev. Looks like you have to block and paste it. Shalom, David Schneier

Further update from Ukraine

New technique the government started today was to track all the protesters by their cell phones. They send them a text that says, "Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.”

If you got this notice you would be violating the new laws against violent demonstrations. Who determines what is violent is difficult to say, This is the problem of unfettered use by the government of technology on its own citizens who are acting lawfully under the Constitution of Ukraine. Sound familiar? Shalom, David Schneier

Police officers responded with stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets. The government has warned that the law allows police to use live ammunition.

Demonstrations turn violent in Kiev

Anti-government protesters and police have clashed in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, for a second day.
