Prayercast

Answer to Prayer

The decline of Christianity has drawn believers together. Prayer movements are forming and spreading as are city- and region-wide unity initiatives among churches, a revitalized spirituality and an openness to a new way of “doing faith”.

Challenge for Prayer

The 1989 unification of the country remains a burden, although now more spiritually and psychologically than economically. The eastern part of the country remains a poor sibling, characterized by high unemployment, economic malaise, continued emigration, social and spiritual emptiness and growing racism directed toward immigrant minorities moving in. This is due to the historic lack of knowledge of the good news and despite the government’s very costly regeneration efforts. Pray for new life – economic, social and spiritual – to come to this depressed region.
