Lithuania: A fragile Christian presence

Due to a strong Polish influence, Catholicism was politically dominant until the Soviet occupation when all faiths were repressed. Low-level discrimination against evangelical groups exists and religious freedom has facilitated the entry of cults and theological error. Relationships between denominations are better than in most former Soviet states. Agape Lithuania has a vision of seeing a ministry presence on every university campus in the country. Praise God for good relationships on the Agape team and the encouragement of healthy ministry funding. There is a Lithuanian internet evangelism ministry, ieskauDievo.lt (searching God). Their prayer is that their work would reach Lithuanians in the country and beyond. Also praise God for 24 e-coaches who are connected with seekers. Pray for wisdom and sensitivity as they interact with these seekers. There is a need for more student leaders to be raised up who would have a heart to see their fellow-classmates know Jesus. Pray for spiritually open students to get connected with the Vilnius campus ministry.
