Slovakia: Challenges for prayer

Foreign Christian mission presence has plateaued but more workers could be utilised for both evangelism/church planting and training. The Apostolic Church now sends Slovak missionaries cross-culturally. Pray that mission agencies and local churches cooperate to the best effect, with joy and humility. Ask the Lord to burden Slovaks for world evangelisation.  Hungarians make up more than 10% of the population. Tensions persist over minority rights and language use; pray for fair and just solutions. A Hungarian-specific political party enjoys strong support from this community. Most Hungarians are Catholic, but with a number of Reformed congregations and a few evangelical groups. Pray that Hungarian Christians may be mobilised to reach their kin in Slovakia. The Romani (Gypsies) are misunderstood and marginalised and suffer from low education and a high level of poverty - but they are the most responsive people to the gospel in all Central and Eastern Europe.
