Support political prisoners in Russia

“I was in prison and you came to me.” -Matthew 25:36b

Within Russia people sit in jail for doing nothing more than holding up blank sheets of paper in public. Many of them oppose that country’s genocidal invasion of Ukraine. By writing letters of support to these people placed in isolating conditions you not only embody the love of Christ but also let the jailers know the lives of their charges are not forgotten. Organize your congregation to write letters to imprisoned Russians during coffee hour, during adult discipleship, or as part of Wednesday evening programming.
