Putin’s bluff – a possible silver lining to the dark clouds over Ukraine
On Monday, Russian formally recognised provinces in the east of Ukraine as independent countries. This then was used as a pretext for Russian forces to be invited into those areas as “peace-keepers.” Things don’t look good for Ukraine right now and I’m sure many will be joining in praying for our brothers and sisters there… Continue reading Putin’s bluff – a possible silver lining to the dark clouds over Ukraine
COVID update
Here’s a quick update on where we are on UK COVID data as England prepares for the final lifting of all restrictions.

One of the things I like to do on Faithroots is share the stories of what God is doing in other places. One of my priorities is to encourage church planting into less reached areas.
