The Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands is a small nation with a population on nearly 50.000 people. It is a self-governing region of Denmark. The parliamentary democracy is usually represented by coalition governments, and since it is not part of the EU, all trade is governed by special treaties. 

There is complete freedom of religion, although the Lutheran Church is recognized as the national church and is supported by a state-levied tax. 

The Faroese need revival. From the Lutheran Church (with many nominals as well as a solid evangelical contingent) to the Pentecostals and charismatics, local Christian leaders all agree that these islands are starting to see a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.The Lutheran Church has declined, but its recent independence from Danish Lutheranism sees an emerging evangelicalism, such as the growing Pietist Home Mission with 35 prayer houses and up to 5,000 affiliates. Pray for the Spirit to make the Faroese truly Christian – and not just in name only. 

Evangelicals are many; 29% of the population. In particular, the Brethren churches make a significant impact as missionaries, both at home and abroad. The Faeroe Islands send a proportionately large number of missionaries – around 100 in more than 20 countries; pray that this may continue. Pray for the Spirit to continue impacting the Church in the Faeroe Islands; pray that Christians will be wise in engaging the postmodern and secular attitudes that increasingly challenge the primacy of the Bible and Christian tradition. 

Prayerlist: 
  • Thank God for the strong Christian tradition the country has and pray that the spirit of God will set a new fire in people.
  • Pray for the Spirit to make the Faroese truly Christian – and not just in name only. 
  • Pray that Biblical truth will be clear and that it stand strong in the Churches and in the nation.
  • Pray that God will give governmental leaders wisdom in how to lead the nation and pray that God’s will to be done.
