Luxembourg’s strong Catholic heritage remains. The majority profess Catholicism, but only a small minority regularly attend mass or practise the faith. The growth of other faiths now challenges Christianity. Islam, Orthodoxy, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Eastern mysticism have transformed this small nation into a mix of religions. Protestant and Independent Christian groups add to the diversity. Pray for people to discover the power of the living Christ! Pray for completion of the Bible in the Lëtzebuergesch language, the heart language of many nationals.

Evangelicals are few in number, and many are foreigners. In the 23 evangelical churches, believers worship in 9 different languages. Few churches have full-time pastors. Pray for unity among them to trust one another, and to pray and worship together at times. Government and society sometimes see evangelical groups as “cults”, which makes it difficult to rent buildings and to openly evangelize. Pray that believers might see chances to share the gospel in creative ways, and to shape the nation with biblical principles.
