Prayercast | Finland
UN-REACHED PEOPLES
FINNISH
What Are Their Needs?
Just like all areas of the world, Finland needs clear, consistent, and relentless presentation of Biblical Christianity. As the information in the previous section mentions, there is much apathy and unbelief in Finland despite liturgical association numbers being quite high. The numbers of people claiming no affiliation are also large. Finland has quite a field of opportunity for the gospel.
Prayer Points
Pray that God will send workers into this field of opportunity with the unchanging message of the gospel.
Pray that God will raise up and empower workers from local people to reach their homeland.
Pray that God will raise up missionaries from the local people that will take His message to Europe and throughout the world.
KARELIAN
What Are Their Beliefs?
Most Karelians are Christian, but like many people in Europe and Russia, they often have a secular worldview. Many do not accept the Bible as God’s final word or believe Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. They have varied ideas about the afterlife, many of which conflict with the Bible.
What Are Their Needs?
Karelians need a Christ-centered theology and a willingness to accept his lordship.
Prayer Points
Pray for Karelian families to be abundantly blessed by the Lord, leading others to find hope in Jesus Christ.
Pray for Karelian disciples who will make more disciples who will make even more disciples.
Pray that soon there will be Karelian workers who will take the name of Christ to others.
THAI
Where Are they Located?
Most Central Thai people in Finland live in urban centers and near university campuses.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Many of the Central Thai people are college students. Once there, they seldom have much social contact with the Finish majority.
What Are Their Beliefs?
Theravada Buddhism was introduced in Thailand in 329 B.C. Almost all of the Thai are devout followers of Gautama Buddha and seek to eliminate suffering and improve their future by gaining merit in pursuit of perfect peace, or nirvana. They believe that merit can be acquired through feeding monks, donating to temples, and attending worship services.
What Are Their Needs?
Believers can reach out to students from Thailand by opening their homes to them and giving them a "home away from home." In this informal, relaxed atmosphere, they can share the deeds of Jesus Christ with Thai Buddhists.
Prayer Points
Ask God to raise prayer teams who will begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession.
Ask God to send believers to work among the Central Thai people in Finland.
Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Central Thai towards believers so that they will be receptive to the gospel.
Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Central Thai people in Europe that will spread far and wide.
Pray that God will mobilize the Church in Finland to reach out to Thai college students at Finland's universities.
ROMANI
What Are Their Beliefs?
Many Romani have maintained their religious traditions and beliefs. They believe that ghosts, lizards, and snakes are capable of harming humans. They believe that men have the power to curse others by giving them the "evil eye." They also believe that some men have the power to heal the sick.
What Are Their Needs?
Although they may be more sanitary, more educated, and have more opportunities than Romani in the Middle East and India, they all have one thing in common: the need for Jesus. Prayer and evangelism efforts are needed in order to win them to Christ.
Prayer Points
Pray that the people who have been rejected and discriminated against will find love and acceptance through Christ.
Ask the Lord to raise up people who are willing to share Christ with the Romani.
Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Romani towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
Ask God to strengthen, encourage, and protect the small number of Romani who have become Christians.
Pray that God will give the missions agencies strategies for reaching the Romani.
Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Balkan Romani.
