Our European director requests our prayers for an opportunity the Lord has provided for him to cast vision for the multiplication of disciples to about 20 leaders within the Baptist denomination. These leaders represent approximately 2,000 local churches throughout the UK. Will you join us in prayer? hubs.la/Q01f_rjj0

We are concluding our weekly prayer & fasting focus on places in Europe with a focus on Sweden. We are believing that our Lord will respond to our fasting and prayers by opening an opportunity in this country.
.
Sweden prides itself on gender equality, placing a high value on family, and political neutrality (has not been at war since 1814). Between supporting a large refugee population and having a very high standard of living, it is estimated that the people of Sweden pay a higher tax rate than any other nation.
.
From the days of the reformation until the year 2000, the Church of Sweden (Lutheran) was recognized as the state church. As the nation has become increasingly liberal, many churches throughout Sweden have endorsed same-sex marriage, universalism and have questioned the divine authority of the Bible. Christ followers are encountering much opposition for voicing support of Christian values. The younger generation is believing there to be little relevance to the Church and God.

To date, the Lord has not yet supplied a person of peace that would enable Biglife or any of our partnering organizations to provide disciple making movement training within this place. However, we do have one contact who reached out to us recently (what amazing timing!) asking for prayer and potentially training support as she tries to multiply disciples.
