My teammate Rachel had this fantastic idea of posting info from Operation World about each country we're going to, so that we can be in prayer for these countries together. Please join me in praying for Romania this week 🙂
Facts about Romania:
Population: 21,190,154
21% of the people are unreached
Official language: Romanian
Total languages: 23
Largest religion: Christian
Answers to prayer:
Romania has a large and growing evangelical population, Europe’s fourth largest. Evangelicals are the only growing major religious group. Romania is considered one of the most spiritually receptive European countries.
Prayer needs:
-The numerous social evils that are widespread across Romania such as prostitution, pornography, human trafficking, and substance abuse.
-The abortions that are rampant in the country. Romania has one of the highest abortion rates in the world, with 3 or more abortions for every baby born. Pray that people will realize the truth about what they are really doing and will be able to see other options.
-Poverty is common, causing high unemployment and corruption that is penetrating the entire country.
-The government has divisions that cause the leadership not to be effective in making decisions. Pray that the leadership will be able to make the right decisions for the country.
What we might be doing:
-Teaching English
-Leading sports camps
-Ministering to the gypsy community who are normally rejected by society
