Challenges for Prayer:

This exceptional nation now also struggles with the same social and spiritual issues of nearby lands. 80% of the population once participated in this direct democracy, but now voting turnout is down to 40%. Low birth rates and an older population put pressure on the pension system, and the nation requires high levels of immigration – something the Swiss continue to resist. Over 25% of the population are now foreign-born, and the mix of new ethnic and religious groups with traditional Swiss identity often causes problems. Pray for wisdom for leaders who must guide the country forward.

our pastor

Yet I do not consider my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish the race and the ministry the Lord Jesus has given me—to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24 NIV
