A prayer for Ukraine

Rev Nicola Vidamour writes:

This video was created out of a desperate need to do something after hearing the news headlines on Saturday 12th February 2022. I served as a Methodist Mission Partner in Russia from 2003-2009. This video uses photos from my last visit to Ukraine (2018) and the vocalists and guitarist are members of the Annual Methodist Conference for Ukraine and Moldova.
