Answer to Prayer

Evangelism, outreach and mission are being rediscovered in Germany. From the dynamic, media-driven outreach ofProChrist/JesusHouse all the way to increasing missional values in the mainline churches, there is a growing confidence in the gospel in many circles that is being expressed in outward demonstrations of faith.

Challenge for Prayer

The nation’s spiritual health is failing.Humanism and destructive criticism of the Bible in the 19th Century enfeebled churches and opened the way to compromise and to pagan Nazi tyranny in the 20th. Post-war dynamics accelerated the secularization and de-Christianization of society. Symptoms of this sickness are:
a) The marginalization of Christianity. The Church is widely perceived as irrelevant, and open hostility to anything Christian is increasing.
b) The rise of false religious teachings. New Age, the occult, Satanism and other religions, including new expressions of pre-Christian paganism, are increasing.
c) Mental illnesses are occurring in record numbers, including clinical depression. Suicide is the second-largest killer of 15-29 year olds. Gruesome crimes and killings are also on the rise as many lack a moral foundation to their worldview.
