Pray for Greenland
In nearly every settlement and town there is a church. However, many of the churches lack any vitality or real spiritual life. People battle with immorality, sexual abuse, alcoholism, mental illness and suicide.
Over the centuries, the people have learned to live in the extreme harsh environment of Greenland to nearly a perfection. Modern techniques have clashed with the old ways of doing things, bringing much confusion and stress upon the people, which leads to suicide.
Missionaries and ministers in Greenland work at counseling the people in the ways of God. When the Holy Spirit is allowed into their lives, people are changed and past hurts and pains go away.
Points to pray:
Allowing the Holy Spirit to move in church services
Finding purpose and life in following Christ
Breaking of the bondage of immorality, alcohol, and abuse
Healing of past hurts
