Praying for Germany
Recently I was asked how someone could best pray for Germany. Well, Germany is a diverse country, so I won't pretend to know what the many needs are throughout the land. After some prayer and consideration though, a list began to form and I wanted to share it with you. When you pray for us and our work in Wittenberg, Germany, please pray with us for the German people we minster among.
- church growth – We need to see the Biblical churches that are here grow.
- Depression – 70% of all Germans receive clinical treatment for depression at some point in their lives
- New leaders – Our young people need to raise up and take leadership for the Lord.
- Prayer warriors – our elderly need to wake up and see the importance of their role as prayer warriors
- Islam – The Muslim religion is growing by leaps and bounds and in Germany
- Truth – May the truth be known throughout Germany. The majority of east Germans are Atheists. May their eyes be opened.
- Need – Germans are generally a wealthy group of people who see no need for God. May God remind them of their ultimate need.
- Families – Germany is in need of good strong, large families. Most Germans only have one child and many never marry. The German population is shrinking rather than growing.
Thank you for your love and prayers.
