时事
Latvians voted for a new parliament on 3 October. The United List of Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs won the most seats of any party since independence in 1991, and turnout was about 52%, lower than in 2022. President Edgars Rinkēvičs has begun talks with the six parties that won seats about forming a new government.
我们为以下事项祷告： 即时救援、安全和紧急帮助.
领导与政治
Latvia is a parliamentary republic. The President is Edgars Rinkēvičs and the Prime Minister is Andris Kulbergs, a businessman who took office in May 2026 and is expected to lead the next coalition. He has promised less bureaucracy, lower public spending, continued support for Ukraine and defence spending of 5% of GDP.
我们为以下事项祷告： 为掌权者求智慧、正直和公义.
经济状况
Latvia's economy has grown more slowly than its Baltic neighbours for more than a decade. Growth was about 2.1% in 2025 and is expected to be about 1.4% in 2026, as higher energy prices slow things down. Inflation is about 3.5% to 4% and unemployment is about 7%, so many families feel the cost of living.
我们为以下事项祷告： 家庭的供应和诚实的管理.
社会与文化问题
Latvia has a large ethnic Russian minority. Reports say some oppose the war in Ukraine while others feel that some policies are unfair to them, and cost of living worries are strong among Russian speakers. Building trust between communities is a real need.
我们为以下事项祷告： 和好、和平，以及对弱势者的保护.
属灵景况
The US State Department reports that about 38% of people are Lutheran, about 18% Catholic and about 14% Latvian Orthodox, mostly Russian speakers, with about 29% having no religious affiliation (figures reported in 2023). Baptists, Pentecostals, Adventists and Old Believers are also present, and there is a Jewish community of about 7,400 people.
我们为以下事项祷告： 属灵的苏醒、盼望和真理的传扬.
宗教自由
The constitution guarantees freedom of religion and separates church and state. Eight traditional groups, including Lutherans, Catholics, Orthodox, Old Believers, Baptists, Methodists, Adventists and Jews, have extra rights. A 2022 law made the Latvian Orthodox Church independent of any church outside the country. Jehovah's Witnesses have faced investigation and object to the terms of alternative service.
我们为以下事项祷告： 保护信徒，使他们能安全自由地敬拜.
历史的创伤
Latvia was annexed by the Soviet Union during World War II. In June 1941 more than 15,000 people were deported to Siberia, and a larger wave followed in 1949, and President Rinkēvičs has said four in ten deportees died in exile. About 70,000 Latvian Jews were killed in the Holocaust, including at Rumbula Forest.
我们为以下事项祷告： 国家的医治、打破旧有的循环和深层的饶恕.
让我们一起祷告
Our Father, we come to You together for Latvia. Guide the forming of a new government, and keep the nation calm and safe. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to President Rinkēvičs, Prime Minister Kulbergs and every new member of parliament. Provide for families who feel the cost of living, and give honest stewardship of the nation's resources. Bring Latvians and Russian speakers together in trust, and protect the poor and the elderly. Let the hope of Jesus come alive in every congregation and home. Keep every believer free and safe to worship. Heal the wounds of deportation and the Holocaust, and lead Latvia in forgiveness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
