Answer to Prayer

Socio-cultural trends that open doors for Christian witness:
      Disillusionment with the emptiness of enforced secularism and hyper-modernity leads to a new interest in spirituality and the metaphysical. Presented rightly, Jesus is of great appeal to such seekers.
      Upheaval and uncertainty in economics and politics, civic disintegration, violence and crime likewise cause many to ask questions about morals and meaning.
      Militant atheism with strong anti-Christian, anti-religious rhetoric in some parts of the EU is strident and ugly enough in character to cause many to reconsider questions of faith and God.
      The influx of non-Christian religions into Europe raises the issue of the religious identity of Europe as a civilization, both in history and for the future.
      Christian immigration has brought the presence of dynamic and lively congregations into nearly every part of Europe. African, Caribbean, Latin American and Asian churches are bringing a new and much-needed confidence to the Church scene, reminding all that Christianity is a truly global faith.

Challenge for Prayer

The heartlands of Protestantism are now some of the most irreligious and secular on the entire continent. They include parts of Germany, Sweden and Denmark, the Low Countries, England, Wales and Scotland, France and the Czech Republic. Many of these areas have had little meaningful exposure to biblical Christianity for several generations. It is a sober indictment that such a great heritage of biblical Christianity has given way to pervasive godlessness.
