Status of the Persecuted Church in Germany
January 15, 2010
Muslim Population 3.7% (Christian Population: 68%)
Although nearly 70% of Germans call themselves Christians, only 45% say they believe in God and less than 10% go to church. Religion is seen as irrelevant to daily life. Christianity is especially failing among young people. More than half of Germany’s believing population is over 50, while youth turn to the occult, New Age religions, and Islam.
Germany has Europe’s second-largest Muslim population. Many Muslim immigrants refuse to learn to speak German and cling to their native languages. Few try to become citizens. While there are comparatively fewer mosques in Germany than other European countries, 200 more are planned to be built in 2010.
Prayers for persecuted Christians in Germany
Islam growing in Germany
January 10, 2009
Islamic influence continues to grow in Germany. The country's largest mosque has just opened, and a Muslim is now co-chair of one of Germany's political parties.
Pray that German Christians will reach out to their Muslim neighbors with the grace and love of the Lord. "And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules."
