Now this is ironic, I am in Serbia asking the Lord how to
pray for Kosovo.
Kosovo and Serbia are bitter enemies. (I think things are
starting to cool down some) Over the past 60 years the Albanian Kosovars have
over-populated the Serbians in Kosovo. In 1999 the Kosovars decided to declare
independence in retaliation to heavy-handed controls from Serbia. The Serbs
will tell you this was a designed plan of Albania, but in reality demographics had
changed over the years and Serbia did not embrace the change. The biggest
problem is that the Kosovo area is the birth land of the Serbs. There are
historic churches and monasteries that are important to the Serbs. Another
problem is that there is a strong Greater Albania nationalistic movement among
the Albanians across the Balkans.
Prayer Points:
1)
Let us pray for peace between Kosovo and Serbia.
Lord, only You can work out these deep wounds between the two. Let us pray the
enemy would not engineer more conflicts.
2)
Many Islamic radicals are setting up shop in
Kosovo in the hope of creating another Islamic state. Let us pray down
confusion on their plans.
3)
Pray that God would extend mercy to Kosovo and
many would hear the Gospel.
4)
Although Kosovo is strongly Muslim, there has
been church growth. The Muslims are mainly nominal in there Islamic beliefs and
should be reachable.
5)
The Baptist, Pentecostals, etc. are slowly
progressing. Let us pray for the present churches. May they grow, mature and
release evangelist into the culture.
6)
Once again I will ask you to pray for friendship
evangelism in the Muslim areas of the Balkans. We must reach them while we
still have the freedom to do so.
