Croatia is a smaller country in Eastern Europe, next to Slovenia and Hungary (across a small amount of water from the eastern shore of Italy's boot). They have a population of 4,486,881 and only 17% are below the poverty line (almost identical to the unemployment rate). They have a mild risk of disease, largely because avian (bird) flu has appeared there. Overall, they seem to be a fairly healthy country with a growing tourism industry.
Spiritually, 92.6% of Croatia claims to know Christ, with Catholicism leading the way, numbers wise. The rest of the country is either Muslim (1.3%), unspecified (0.9%), or not religious (5.2%).
God, we pray for the nation of Croatia today. We pray for the Christians of Croatia, that you, as David Crowder sings, "shake the ground with the sound of revival". What a beautiful thought: the ground of Croatia literally shaking from the praise of your name. We pray for the lost of Croatia, that the love and truth of Christ comes to them and that they are willing to accept the grace you have extended to them. God, we pray for the economy of Croatia and that you help it grow, and we pray that you rid their nation of disease. We love you. In Christ's name, amen.
