Challenge for Prayer
Evangelical Christians have multiplied greatly in spite of many challenges. Materially lacking, their spiritual vitality and determination yield much fruit. Still, poverty has forced many pastors and up to 20,000 evangelicals to leave Moldova in recent years. Pray that God might provide the church’s material needs – employment, buildings, discipleship materials, training resources. Agape and the Salvation Army are particularly active in assisting the poor. Praise God that unity among denominations is increasing.For an additional 6 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

Challenge for Prayer
Evangelicals are so few that their impact is limited, especially in the hard spiritual ground that is Monaco. But the great numbers of nationalities (more than 160) in Monaco, and the highly transitory nature of many expats there, represent a good opportunity to reach the nations from this small principality. Pray for culturally appropriate witness in a context where evangelism is regarded as socially unacceptable.For an additional 3 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
