Winter brings heightened worries about power infrastructure and heating, especially in the face of potential advancements by Russia. The big question on everyone&#8217;s mind remains: Will the United States continue to stand by Ukraine? As we navigate this uncertain period, your prayers and support are invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, we&#8217;re grateful for the provision of power and heating so far. We recognize the freedom we have in Ukraine\u2014a freedom allowing us to share the gospel and support churches. It&#8217;s a reminder of the larger impact this conflict has on spiritual freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>Our efforts to aid soldiers include providing essentials like hand warmers. A recent testimony from Pastor L\u00ea in H\u1ed3n illustrates the power of prayer in protecting Ukrainian soldiers from intense bombardment.<\/p>\n<p>The unwavering faith of the church in H\u1ed3n is remarkable. Even amid danger, they emphasize the importance of corporate worship, highlighting the essentiality of spiritual nourishment.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re actively involved in two projects. The first, &#8220;Teach Us to Pray,&#8221; focuses on elucidating the depth of the Lord&#8217;s Prayer and its gospel truths. The second is a Christmas outreach endeavor aimed at distributing gift packets with gospel material to children in need.<\/p>\n<p>Your prayers and support mean the world to us and to Ukraine. If you&#8217;d like to be a part of these projects or contribute in any way, check the link in this newsletter for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for standing with us and for Ukraine. Your prayers and support provide hope and strength during these challenging times.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or want further updates, feel free to reach out. Your engagement and care make a significant difference.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s continue to pray, support, and believe for Ukraine&#8217;s protection, provision, and eventual peace.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2FWho_will_help_Ukraine.mp3&amp;modern=1&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fa-true-story-of-how-god-is-helping-ukraine-through-prayer%2F&amp;artwork_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F12%2FSukofamily-december-2023-update.jpg#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/content.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/Who_will_help_Ukraine.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/sukofamily.org\/?powerpress_pinw=17378-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/content.blubrry.com\/nowisthetime\/Who_will_help_Ukraine.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Who_will_help_Ukraine.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 12:07 &#8212; 22.3MB) | <a href=\"#\" class=\"powerpress_link_e\" title=\"Embed\" onclick=\"return powerpress_show_embed('17378-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Embed<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_embed_box\" id=\"powerpress_embed_17378-podcast\" style=\"display: none;\"><input id=\"powerpress_embed_17378-podcast_t\" type=\"text\" value=\"&lt;iframe src=&quot;https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fnowisthetime%2FWho_will_help_Ukraine.mp3&amp;modern=1&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fa-true-story-of-how-god-is-helping-ukraine-through-prayer%2F&amp;artwork_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsukofamily.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F12%2FSukofamily-december-2023-update.jpg#mode-Light&amp;border-000000&amp;progress-000000&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; height=&quot;165&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;blubrryplayer-2&quot; class=&quot;blubrryplayer&quot; title=&quot;Blubrry Podcast Player&quot;&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\" onclick=\"javascript: this.select();\" onfocus=\"javascript: this.select();\" style=\"width: 70%;\" readOnly><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/subscribebyemail.com\/feeds.blubrry.com\/feeds\/nowisthetime.xml\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe by Email\" rel=\"nofollow\">Email<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.blubrry.com\/feeds\/nowisthetime.xml\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The situation in Ukraine continues to draw concern.
