Prayer for the Nation 2022

The Danish “Store Bededag” (Big Prayer Day) was founded 27th of March, 1686. Many individual prayer days was assigned a day to pray and acknowledge God for his providence and protection.
The International Pastors in Denmark wanted to keep this tradition of praying on that day for the nation. Thus, Prayer for the Nation (PFN) was founded in the year 2003.
This is a cross denomination, cross cultural initiative, where we gather in Copenhagen to pray and bless Denmark. It is the planning committee’s hope that similar arrangements will happen across the land.
Jeremiah 29:7, “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
3 John 1:2, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
