PrayEurope 40-40-40 — Russia — San Marino

In 988, Russian Prince Vladimir wanted to give a faith to the people of his nation so he had everyone baptized.  Now after communism and other influences, faith is the exception and not the norm.  Russia is the largest country in the world spanning 11 times zones and has more than 160 million people.

Dear Maker of All,

We are very thankful for the Gospel having come to Russia in tiny seeds spread out throughout the nation.  We ask that You nurture and grow these seeds so that they can flourish in a nation where it is becoming harder and harder to have any kind of faith in You.  We ask that You open the hearts of those seeking for a hope in something more than failing banks, governments and other organizations by showing them the hope that they can have in You.  Give strength to those that do know You personally that they would share how You have given them hope with their neighbors and friends.  Amen.

San Marino is the third smallest country in Europe and is located totally within Italy.  According to tradition, it is the oldest republic founded by a Christian stonemason in 301 AD.

Dear Father,

Please be with the people of San Marino that they might come to know You better.  May they have a personal encounter with You that would transform their lives.  May those that do know You to share their lives with their fellow citizens and give them the strength to express their love for You in public ways of service to their communities.  Amen.
