Portugal

• Please pray that the concept of Mary as the Queen of Heaven will be questioned among the people and that in their eyes the Lord Jesus will be lifted to His rightful place. Praise God that the number of Bible-believing Christians has exploded from 55,000 to over 300,000 in the last 25 years.
• Many people are still bound up in old traditions of paganism and the occult. Portugal is 85% Catholic, but 90% of the population consult spiritist mediums. Pray that Jesus would show His power greater than any other spirit.
• Few Christians live in southern Portugal, which is much poorer than the rest of the country. Pray for more laborers there and that Christians will be equipped and supported to bring the truth and love of Jesus into these communities.
