COUNTRY FOCUS:

Kosovo

Kosovo is a small land-locked nation in the central Balkans, south-east Europe. Although Kosovo gained independence from Serbia in 2008, after a decade of negotiation and brutal ethnic conflict, its sovereignty is not universally recognised.

Over half of Kosovo’s citizens live in poverty with almost 75% unemployed.

The vast majority of the 1.89 million population are nominal Muslim and largely ethnic Albanian who refer to the country as Kosova and consider any reference to ‘church’ as meaning Serbian Orthodox Church.

Extremism in on the increase, as is opposition to evangelical Christianity.

Nevertheless, there are a growing number of Christian believers, especially among younger people.

PLEASE PRAY: • Pray that Christian youths would become mature Christians who lay aside past differences in pursuit of reconciliation and healing in Kosovo.

• Pray for continued freedom to evangelise among the Muslim population.

• Pray for Jesus’ peace to heal hatred between ethnic Serbs and Albanians.

• Pray for the spiritual growth of the evangelical fellowships.

• Pray for the significant work and mission of Operation Mobilisation in Kosovo.

• Pray that all missionaries in Kosovo will have divine wisdom, protection and impact as they proclaim the Gospel.

• Pray for TEN’s partners who pastor Fellowship of the Lord’s People in the capital, Pristina.
