Prayers for the Portuguese

"If we assume that a typical church has 150 members, then there is one church for every 1,766 people in China and one for every 2,413 people in India. In contrast, according to the European Spiritual Estimate, there is on average only one church for every 27,749 people on the whole continent of Western Europe". -

When I first read that, it really did take me back. A lot of the time before I studied in Spain, I did not realize the lostness of the people. The people are broken and longing. The focus is on rituals. Be in prayer that the people of Western Europe and Portugal in particular will realize that it isn't about works or traditions, but that it is about a relationship with Jesus alone.
