Pray for a new law to be passed in Greece.
Even though Greece has a long, rich history connected to the early Church, laws restricting freedom of religion were passed in Greece in 1938, and have never been repealed. The unchallenged Greek Orthodox Church grew dominant - 95% national affiliation - and proselytizing is illegal unless it is an attempt to convert a person to Greek Orthodoxy.
However, a new law has now been proposed by the Ministry of Religion in Greece regarding the legal status of evangelical churches. If passed, evangelical churches would have a legal status in Greece for the first time in modern history, providing more opportunities to advance the ministries of the gospel.
