April 28 - Pray for Switzerland!

Luke 18:1
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Thank you for joining the International Missions Society in our "month of prayer for missions." Today we are praying for Switzerland, a county speaking both French and German which has a long history of neutrality, is dedicated to peacemaking and was the birthplace of the Red Cross. Click here for more information on Switzerland.

We have two churches in Switzerland with a combined membership of about 140 disciples. Christian and Sabine Herbst lead the church in Zurich, and Thierry and Isabel Fender lead the church in Geneva. We have videos from both churches, one from Geneva and one from Zurich.

If you are looking for guidance in terms of what to pray for, here are some suggestions:

1. Pray for a stable government that is favorably disposed to Christianity.
2. Pray that God will strengthen the disciples who are already in the country.
3. Pray that God will open hearts and connect those open hearts with disciples.
4. Pray for nationals to be converted in other churches around the world.
5. Pray for God to inspire brothers and sisters to want to lead others.

If you want to send a note of encouragement to the disciples in Switzerland, please reply to this email and we will pass on your message. Thanks!
