22.07.14-140 day prayer Marathon. In the morning, had to send three buses with the settlers, and several cars in different directions. Unfortunately one bus did not go, not because of the fighting or the inability to check out, and people just ignored it. Yesterday when bombed asked hysterically that they would be urgently taken, and when a little calmed down, then simply ignored this while then did not take the tube, and just sent one away. How to understand people then? I had to pay the driver 400 UAH. Not ustoyku , and a few people just taken by car to Krasnoarmiysk. During this trip it was not easy, but unique, this describes the driver brother Alexander.**: https://www.facebook.com/sergey.kosyak.3/posts/891796554168428 Situation in Donetsk-steadily tense. Ukrainian army clamps DNRovcev in the ring, but DNRovcy are not going to give up, and try by all means to strengthen their position and attract new recruits into its ranks. Since people are not willing [to join] in the ranks of the DNI, then they are trying to catch young men at train stations, side-posts and forcibly bring into their militia. I have previously described how a group of 29 men were detained at the station who were organized and driven to work in Russia. They were taken to RSA, then the SBU, which through manipulation and intimidation forced to write statements about joining the militia DNR. Those who disagreed were promised to shoot, 23 people have written an application to join the NPT, and 6 were led to be shot, brought to execution, with an empty queue automaton over their heads and released. That's the story.

And we continue to serve the people and glorify the deeds of God. About 50 people were evacuated today, tomorrow will send four buses in different directions, plus volunteer drivers take out the most complex, individually, from combat zones or those who because of physical or other circumstances are unable to leave on their own, or get to the place of evacuation. As we continue to distribute food kits and help with money, those who, because of the situation in the region have lost their means of support.

In the Centre of the town stands a makeshift, improvised tent, and continues to be a place of prayer. Today, some have tried to set a cross, flag sticker put on the "new Russia", and during the prayer itself, once again approached the heavily armed militants on a massive jeep, after watching a little, stopped before leaving, seem afraid of God's love or frightened by the sight of the love of God and our own sins. Just below the photo of our prayer book, look closely at their bright, smiling faces, and compare with the darkness, that now hangs over Donetsk. I understand that only God can give such a peace and joy in this chaos of fear. Heart of faith and hope in Donetsk does not die, and that still beats in the heart of the city in the form of fervent prayers spreading across the region, bringing the power of hope and trust in God. Thank you to all who work with us. Your donation is something more than money, and for some they converted not only into physical life, but also in the spiritual.

Continue to pray for father Victor, he is still in captivity.

**"It's a beautiful day! One soul salvation came when I evacuated girl with a child through a war zone and we came under fire, the first thing I said to her: "Pray." She knew the Our Father, now she knows God. After all, she said she did not know God and so close she could not think how he can save. We exchanged phone numbers and now when it's over she would return and serve God, and yet all the questions over the phone. Thanks to everyone who prayed for my son, he is now released. Yesterday morning he was with a team of builders to JD in an amount 29i man boarded the bus to go to the construction site on a rotational basis. Stopped by armed men, to check the documents, then took the contract and all were taken to the Regional State Administration. There he called me once, and then said they were going to the building of the SBU, then the connection was lost. We all prayed and called this afternoon, was on his way home. Yesterday the whole day and night psychological pressure that would join the militia. 23 people did not survive and wrote a statement. Their little more pokrepili realized that not write and released. HALLELUJAH!! Jesus Lord over all the earth." - Aleksander Xhomchenko
