Andorra

Population: About 79.000

The nation has been a self-governing co-principality since 1278; nominally ruled by the French president and the Spanish bishop of Urgel. Since 1993, Andorra has had its own constitution, judiciary and foreign policy. Andorra has also had official freedom of religion since 1993. The Catholic Church remains the established church. 

​Prayer list

• Materialism holds Andorra in a tight grip. Formerly a smugglers’ refuge, Andorra now attracts well-heeled tourists, financiers and those taking advantage of duty-free goods. Pray that empty materialism would be seen as the ultimately unfulfilling falsehood that it is. 
• Ninety percent of Andorrans are affiliated with the Catholic Church, but true spirituality is thin on the ground, and the Church is on the defensive. Many consult mediums, seers and astrologers for guidance and advice, usually at a significant financial cost. Few seek guidance from Catholic priests. Ask God to reinvigorate the Christian spiritual life of Andorra by the Holy Spirit and to expose and disarm the power of the occult. 
• Biblical Christianity struggles to retain a foothold. Catholicism has lost much of its zeal, and the handful of other congregations where evangelicals worship grow very slowly. Praise God for committed expatriate believers and for the few indigenous Andorran believers. Pray that all faithful disciples of Christ might have the passion and discernment that will enable them to effectively share their faith.
