Pray
- Around 76 Norwegians died in Oslo last Friday, July 22nd, after a horrific bomb blast and shooting spree. Pray for comfort for all those who lost friends and family in the attacks. Ask that they would call to the LORD in their distress and that He would hear their voice.
- 91% of Norway claims to be Christian, but only 4% attend church on a given Sunday. More than half doubt or don’t believe in the existence of God. Pray that God would use this tragic event for good to awaken Norwegians to His presence and their desperate need for Him.
-Praise God for Norwegian believers that are passionate about sharing the gospel all over the world. Norway is proportionally one of the top missions-sending countries, even while focusing on the renewed need for home missions.
