THE ADVISORY COUNCIL OF HEADS OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES OF RUSSIA

Members of the Advisory council of Heads of Protestant churches of Russia express deep condolences to the relatives of the victims of the terrorist acts in the Moscow underground in the morning of March, 29th, 2010. We mourn over the innocently murdered people, we grieve together with all Russian people and we pray for those who have got wounded, and those who have courageously rescued victims and rendered them the first medical aid. We ask for the Lord’s blessing over everyone who is in charge of efforts, professional skills and actions in the liquidation of consequences of the terrorist acts, over the search and the punishment of the criminals who have raised hands on the defenseless and innocent people. May the Lord bless our Motherland and help us to hold out in the struggle against terrorism!
