The hymns "Day by Day" and "How Great Thou Art" are just two examples of Sweden's contribution to our Christian heritage. Unfortunately, because of discrimination against non-Lutheran believers in the 19th century, large numbers of Swedish Christians emigrated to America, leaving a spiritual vacuum in Sweden that continues to this day. Today, 48 percent of Sweden's population considers itself either atheist or agnostic.

While many traditional churches struggle for survival, God is raising up believers who are seeking new ways to express the timeless message of the Gospel. Many believers in the Lutheran church feel optimistic that the church once again can become a place where salvation in Christ alone is proclaimed. Younger generation Christians may have rejected the traditions of religion but are seeking Christ in community and modern expressions of church. These young believers are the hope for the future of the Gospel in Sweden.
The number of Muslims in Sweden will soon surpass the number of evangelicals. Sweden's history of open doors to refugees has created an unparalleled opportunity for evangelism among people from "closed" countries around the world. An invitation from the Swedish Evangelical Free Church denomination provides an open door for missionaries to work side-by-side on teams with Swedes and others in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. Greater Europe Mission is looking for people to be involved in these areas and more.
  1. Pray that Swedish believers would have courage and boldness to stand for the truth of the Christian faith in the face of Christian leaders and denominations that accommodate postmodernism.
  2. Pray for more hearts and lives to be changed as a result of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
