Pray for Netherlands

 

Population 16.7 Million  People per sq km 390

Religion   50% Christian 42% Non Religious

 

Positives  

A glorious history as a Christian nation — its fight for religious freedom, ministry to refugees and Jews, and a record of extensive involvement in missions to other lands. Today it is a different story. However, there is growth in the number and vitality of many independent, charismatic and Pentecostal congregations.

 

 

 

 

Prayer needs  

The need is for consistent discipleship, disciplined prayer and study of the Word and lives that demonstrate the gospel. Water these tender plants in prayer! An appropriate analogy for this land with so much water and 30% of the country below sea level. Muslims are a growing percentage of the population and come from many cultures. Specialized efforts and committed friendships are needed to reach them. Pray also for the moral behaviour of this country.
