Pray for Croatia

Week of Sept. 3-9,2012


Good things are happening along the Adriatic Sea coast of Croatia. It is becoming the play ground of Europe, as many come to enjoy the beach and sun each summer. This summer has been good with more tourist than before. The native Croatians have done their best to accommodate, entertain and provide their best sea food. Even celebrates came this summer to enjoy the calm sea and picturesque village atmosphere.

1)    Lord, we bless You in Your creation. Truly You have blessed Croatia with a beautiful coast.
2)    Tourist are tourist and they come and go, but the Croatians stay. As the Fall comes and then followed by Winter, the people settle down to a quieter time May they reflect on their spiritual needs. Lord, quicken them to the voice of eternity in their hearts.
3)    There are very few evangelical churches down along the Adriatic coast. Lord, we ask for evangelist to be raised up with a burden for the people there.

John 6: 27 (KJV) Labour not for the meat that perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.

4)    I heard a report the other day that there is only one evangelical church on the eastern side of Zagreb the capitol and main city of Croatia (250,000 people est.). Let us pray that many will be given a burden for the people of that area. Video:  http://www.ecmbritain.org/info.asp?cid=4

I heard the word “peace” for Croatia; A time of no outside threats. The Austro-Hungarian empire is long gone; the Italians have their economic problems; the Serbs have been humbled and Croatia will become a state in the European Union next year.

5)    Let us pray for economic and governmental blessings for Croatia. Lord, we pray for the positioning of key leaders.
6)    We pray for Christians to be leaders in the market place and the halls of government. Lord, give wisdom and favor to the people of God. Show them how to solve Croatia’s internal problems.

7)    Let us pray for Gospel broadcast. Lord, open the airways for the Good News. Lord, prepare pastors to teach, technicians to program shows and video artist to capture attention. Let there be modern productions that speak to a new generation.

8)    Let us pray for an anointing on the churches to reach the younger generation. Show them how to speak the Gospel in this generation’s language. Jesus has a relative message that can touch this generation’s needs.

9)    Let us thank the Lord for all the summer youth camps that was held for the youth in Croatia.  Lord, bless everyone that was involved. Bless the children that heard, the teachers that taught, the guest that spoke and the people who gave to meet the financial needs. Lord, may those children go on to walk in Your glory. Help them to stand up to the pressure of their peers.

10)    There are many praying for a drug rehabilitation center for Croatia. Let us join in asking the Lord for the funding and Christian staff that know how to minister the delivering power of God.

Pray for Croatia
(Week of March 26-31/2012)

When I was living in Former Yugoslavia, back in the eighties, I attended and helped with some Summer Youth Camps in the Croatian area. For awhile I followed some of the young people as they matured in years and found many of them going on with the Lord.

1)      Let us pray for the youth camps for this coming summer.

a.       Lord, we ask that You pick out those that are to be involved in organizing and helping in the camps. Release within them Your great love for the children.

b.      Lord, we pray You help the planners with all the details of the camps; activities, speakers and accommodations. We pray that all plans would be carried out according to the Lord’s will.

c.       Lord, make it possible for many youth to come.

d.      Let us pray for all the finances to come in for these camps. Let us pray for scholarships to be available for the children whose families can’t afford it. Raise up sponsors, Lord.

e.      Lord, we pray for an out-pouring of Your purposes on these Children. May they never be the same. Lord, we ask for the breaking off of demonic and generational ties that would drive them to alcohol, drugs and just general un-productivity.

f.        Let us pray that the Lord would reward each worker abundantly.

                                                               i.      Matthew 10:42 KJV
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

                                                             ii.      1 Corinthians 3:14 KJV
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

                                                            iii.      Colossians 3:24 KJV
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

2)      Tourism is one of the main driving forces of the Croatian economy. Hospitality and tourism generate 13 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, and Croatia is becoming a popular travel destination.

a.       The Lord has given Christians the gift of hospitality. Let us pray that a lot of these jobs will be filled by Christians.

b.      Let us pray that Christian business people would see the Croatian coast as a place to make a profit. Lord, speak to Christians to look at this area to invest.

c.       If you check my prayer guides over the years, I have often thought we should pray for the Churches to seek God on how they could reach out to the tourist that come to Croatian each Summer. The Nations are coming to Croatia.

d.      In the “spirit” I heard a tourist say, “I went on vacation to rest from my physical labor  but found rest for my eternal soul”

Dear Jerry,

Greetings from Croatia!

I am happy to announce to you that I am planning a trip to the States from June 15th-August 21st 2013. I am scheduing speaking engagements for Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings, midweek services, seminars, conferences, men's meetings and meetings with pastors and missions boards.

If you would be interested in my coming to speak at your church please ask your pastor to contact our office at ceo@cce.hr and my administrator will contact him about scheduling my visit.

Thank you for your kind and loving support of the ministry here in Croatia.

May God richly bless you.

Pastor Mario Ducic,

Croatian Evangelistic Outreach, Zagreb, Croatia

3)      Let us pray for Pastor Ducic and his upcoming trip to America. This pastor knows the needs of Croatia better than anyone I know and it would be a blessing for him to speak in your church or fellowship.

a.       Let us pray that many would sign on to hosting Pastor Ducic, opening doors for him to speak and accommodating him along his way.

b.      Let us pray God would give Pastor Ducic a message to link American Christian’s hearts to the Christians in Croatia. Also that us American Christians would be stirred out of our apathy. 

c.       I pray that this trip would be a very financial blessing for Pastor Ducic and the ministry he oversees in Croatia.

d.      Let us pray that Pastor Ducic would make many more friends.

Pray for Croatia

(Listed 8-16-10)

Summer time in Croatia and many Europeans are vacationing on the Croatian coast, which is considered the eastern Riviera.

1. Vacations are great and we need them to get away and refresh. Let us pray for the vacationers visiting the Croatian coast. We pray that there will be an occasion for them to find the Lord and be truly refreshed by Him.

2. Lord, give the churches in Croatia strategies for reaching these vacationers with the Gospel.

3. Although the youth camps are mostly over with for this summer, we thank the Lord for all He has done in these camps. May the seeds planted in their lives not be stolen by the enemy. (The Parable of the Sower, Matthew 13)

4. Let us pray for the churches of Croatia. Lord, we ask that the Holy Spirit be poured out on Your people. We pray that the pastors would have special encounters with the Lord. Lord, walk with them daily protecting them from the attacks of the enemy.

5. May the pastors and church leaders know the times they live in and seek You for strategies to touch this present generation of Croats.

6. The report is that during the month of July there was a 1% rise in inflation in the Croatian economy. Lord, we pray for financial protection for the churches. We pray for financial increase for the churches also. May money for building materials come in.

7. Pray for the Catholic church of Croatia. Like a lot of European countries the people have a false sense of salvation because of the state church. People believe that because they were baptized as a child then that is all that is required of them. Lord convict the priest (the shepherds) of what Your word really says about being saved by faith, and faith alone.

8. Lord, we ask You to open the hearts of the Croatian people. May they see the real Jesus and the joy of salvation.
