Dear friends,
the basis of the CHI Network is the cultivation of love and respectful cooperation, regardless of origin, skin color, belief, or sexual orientation.
We are therefore immensely shocked by the current global political situation.
Under these circumstances, it is not easy to pursue normality, but it would also not be right to let yourself be put off and take people's love of life.
We thank everyone for their support, considering their possibilities – humanity knows no politics!
What may not mean much to us may mean a lot to others.
In this sense – Peace
This weekend the german VCH Hotels organize a transport with urgend needed goods to the polish - ukrainian border to hand out these to an ukrainian human organization. I am sure that the other members of CHI help as well. So let's pray:
A Prayer for Ukraine
(Church of England)
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion
to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
