Pray for the world
Romania
— Materialism imported from the West has damaged spirituality.  Westerners displayed a lack of wisdom in Romania by creating division and jealousy with their well-publicized material assistance.  The deep spirituality of churches were adversely affected as some agencies brought in their Western values.  Pray that outside assistance might be offered in an attitude of humility and service to the Romanian Church.  Also pray that they can meet the needs of Christian youth. Few are able to minister meaningfully to young people.
