At the request of Valerie's daughter, Lora, I am copying and pasting her email below.

Dear Kathy,

This is Lora. How are you and your family doing? I hope you are doing well and I apologize for not being in touch with you lately. I have not been well and have had more medical complications the past while. I appreciate and ask for your ongoing prayers.

I am writing to you with urgency as I hear my mothers' voice telling to write this to be posted on the website. The situation in Ukraine is growing worse by the hour. As you may know, my mother was of Ukrainian descent, as her parents were both Ukrainians. The situation is very dire as we speak. My mother always told me to look for the signs of the end times, and I truly believe that the situation of Russia trying to invade Ukraine could potentially launch a war on epic levels. I am begging all the followers of Rapture Flight to Heaven to pray to the heavenly Father for the protection of the Ukrainian people at this time. Russia is repeating history once again as they are trying to reclaim Ukraine as part of Russia. Ukrainians were slaughtered over the decades by Russia, and have suffered immensely at the hands of the communist country. The Ukrainian people are a faithful, humble people whom respect God and his teachings.

I trust in God in everything. My mother always told me to put things in God's hands and not to worry. I pray that Jesus has mercy on the Ukrainian people, and all of His people struggling in this world.

Thank you, Kathy for your ongoing ministry and for carrying forward on my mother's behalf.

God bless you,

Lora

P.S. You can post this message in its entirety.

Please pray, everyone, that when the war is over, that the Ukraine will still be a free and independent nation.
