PRAY FOR EUROPE

COUNTRY FOCUS:

CROATIA

C

roatia has gone through huge changes in the past 30 years, moving haphazardly from communism to democracy. The 1991 war between Croatia and Serbia resulted in thousands of deaths, terrible massacres and many refugees. Today, this beautiful country attracts millions of tourists each year to its Adriatic coastline and many idyllic islands. Tourism presents new opportunities for the 20,000 evangelical Christians. With a population of 4.4 million, nine out of ten nationals are Roman Catholic.

There are serious concerns about the widespread migration of thousands of Croatians into other EU member states. This affects many local churches, especially in the north-east of the country. Sadly, corruption and bribery remain common-place.

Pray for honesty and integrity to be restored.

Pray that Croatians will discover hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Give thanks that new churches are being planted on the mainland and on at least one of Croatia’s many islands.

Pray for a new generation of evangelists and church pastors.
