As the war in Ukraine continues, we unite our voices in prayer with churches and people of faith around the globe. We are grieved by the loss of life caused by unwarranted and unprovoked conflict. Every nation has a right to self-determination and the right to live in harmony with their neighbors. We stand in solidarity with those protesting and fighting for their freedom and independence in Russia. We pray for protection from devastation against the atrocities of war for all whose lives and well-being are endangered. As followers of the Prince of Peace, we call and pray for a cessation of the violence and peaceable courses of action.

I am genuinely concerned about the complete disregard for life and respect for the rule of international laws by the actions of the Russian Federation toward Ukraine. The Lott Carey family stands with the people of Ukraine and pray that these acts of violence will come to an immediate end. In times like these, the church must continue to speak truth to power and advocate on behalf of those crying out from bomb shelters and refugee camps. Lott Carey has committed funds to assist with food and medical supplies. We are working in partnership with the Baptist World Alliance.

Ukraine is going through special, difficult moments in its history. It is a time of trials, difficulties, anxieties. We call on all churches and every Christian to raise their voice to heaven.
