[edit] Life
- There are many issues in this country: Disabled children kept in cages in care homes with little human contact, children trafficked through the country, women working as prostitutes in border regions, alcolholism, the increasing number of single mothers, many people in deep debts.
- Though Communism is a fading memory, the transition to another social paradigm has not been easy. The entry of market capitalism has left its trademark — wealth and hedonism for a few, but increased economic stress for many. The great moral vacuum formed by decades of Communism has not been filled. The resultant moral decline in the past decade has been accompanied by an increase in crime, substance abuse, prostitution and family breakdown. Pray that this negative spiral might be cut short by the intervention of God into this godless society.

- The influence of the Catholic and Protestant Churches is fading rapidly - there is an increase in crime, substance abuse, prostitution, and family breakdown. May this negative spiral might be cut short by the intervention of God.
- The Protestant churches have an important place in the history and culture of the nation. Pray that this may also become true spiritually. Pray for Evangelicals both within the larger Protestant denominations and the smaller, younger groups, such as the Baptists, Pentecostals and numerous independent congregations. Almost all evangelical churches are experiencing at least modest growth, and several are seeing this accompanied by charismatic renewal.
- Evangelical churches are growing, but Evangelical and pentacostal churches are often viewed as cults.
