Current events
Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. US interest in the island has led to talks between the United States, Denmark and Greenland, and in September the foreign minister of Greenland said that dialogue with the US is ongoing.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
About 95% of Greenlanders are Lutheran, and the Church of Greenland is the national church, 300 years after a missionary brought the faith to the island. Traditional Inuit beliefs remain part of life in some remote communities.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Greenland. Give wisdom, patience and peace to all who are talking about the future of the island, and let every voice be heard with respect. Protect the people of the towns and settlements through the long Arctic winter. Let the faith first planted here grow deep and bring hope to every family. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
