COUNTRY FOCUS:

orth acedonia M N

The former republic of Yugoslavia, Macedonia signed a landmark agreement with Greece in 2018 to change its name to North Macedonia, to resolve a decades-old dispute and pave the way for the enlargement of the European Union and NATO. The capital, Skopje is home to roughly a quarter of the nation's 2 million citizens who are comprised of ethnic Macedonians, Albanians (25%) followed

by Turks, Romani, Serbs, Bosniaks, and Aromanians.

North Macedonia has 65% Orthodox Christians, 33% Muslim and a growing 4,500 evangelical believers. Evangelicals are united in prayer, outreach and ministry to the poor, including help for the large Roma community and migrants. Church planting forms part of a nation-wide strategy and more than 100 international teams visit the country each year to support the outreach of local churches.

PLEASE PRAY: • Pray for deeper unity among the 100 evangelical churches as they reach out to local communities through evangelism and practical care.

• Pray for Christian believers who face the label of ‘cult’ by some Orthodox communities.

• Pray for the outreach among Roma communities and the growth of Roma churches.

• Pray for that the vision to plant scores of new churches will be realised as new leaders are raised up.

• Pray for the nation as it struggles with change and political uncertainty.

• Pray that the economy would grow and that many betterpaid jobs would be created.
