Hungary is in Central Europe between Austria and Romania. Communism put a heavy toll on freedom of religion and since the fall, there is still much mistrust to anything dealing with organized religion however there is much spiritual searching going on.
Dear Father,
We pray for the people of Hungary that in their searching to fulfill their spiritual needs, that they would look beyond history and see the true You. We pray that they would come to understand the relationship they can have with You and partake in the relationship You so want them to have with You too. We pray for those that have come to know You personally that they would be bold in sharing their stories with others. We pray for those, especially in the younger generations, that they would look beyond personal circumstances to see how You can move in their lives. Amen.

The Holy See (otherwise known as Vatican City) is it own country – independent of Italy (and Rome which encompasses the whole country). As expected, the Pope heads this country and it’s 100% Catholic. From this tiny country, the Pope and the Catholic Church have some form of influence in almost every country of the world.
Dear Lord,
We pray for the Pope and the many pressures he faces on a daily basis as he is looked to by so many to be your representative. Give him strength and clarity in what You would have him do and say. We pray for the bishops and priests that are in this place that they would stay true to You in their service and that in everything they do, they would honoring to You. We pray that the influence this area has over the rest of the world, that it done in a way to unite people to know You in a more personal and intimate way. Amen.

Greece – land of blue sky, blue waters and white cities. Here Christianity is a cultural phenomenon rather than a personal choice. It’s just a part of being Greek which means they know no more about what they do and say certain things other than that is what they’ve always done.
Dear God in Heaven,
We pray for the people of Greece to open their hearts to understanding the significance behind many of the cultural things they do every day as these actions can be pointed towards You and move them towards understanding You more. We pray that the spiritual movements in their hearts will recognized and that they will seek the Truth. We pray that those that do know You would live lives in reflection of Your Love. Amen.

Germany – once divided by a wall (which Alex owns a piece of now) – it is now reunified as a social and economical country but there are still many walls that stand when it comes to knowing God. Germany is one of the largest if not the largest economic force in Europe and with that has huge influences both with culture and values to Europe and the rest of the world. There is a huge desire to know things spiritually here however believing that they’ve know about the Bible (which is usually off since they’ve never really heard about the Bible except what people have told them) they turn to other religions or to their own personal philosophies.
This is where I live now and where my home is.
Dear Lord,
I pray for Germany. I love this country and it’s people. I pray that many would come to know You here and understand that You are what they are searching for. I pray that traditions of the past that uplift devils, witches and other things would be put aside so they can see Your wonderfulness. I pray that those that know You would be bold in taking You into every part of their lives so that others can see how their lives are different because of You. I pray for those in my town who literally believe that those who know You personally have a “disease” and would much prefer traditions yet still have these spiritual yearnings that they can’t find satisfaction to. Amen.

Georgia (the country, not the state for my USA friends), is nestled south of Russia on the Black Sea. Independence has been harsh with inter-ethnic fighting and high unemployment.
Dear God,
We ask that you protect the believers in Georgia – that they would be able to speak freely about how You have worked in their lives. We ask that You unite the people of Georgia so that they are not so filled with hate that they are unable to see Your Love. We pray that you will work in their economics so that many there can have safe and healthy lives and that the children can grow up with an education. We pray for that more groups of believers would be formed and would be there to strengthen each other while reflecting Your Love to those around them. Amen.
