Pray for the growing young church at Amagerbro Frikirke
(free church), who earlier this month dedicated their new (to them) building in
central Copenhagen.
It’s a strategic location in the capital city, and they’re
naturally excited about the move. They’ve been working on the building since
April, with volunteers from the congregation spending uncounted hours on
restoring and renovating the facilities. Though there are still a few small
details to fix, they’re putting the building to use and reaching out to people
in their neighborhood, in a city that desperately needs Jesus.
Amagerbro Frikirke offers a number of city-specific
ministries, including a weekly drop-in study fellowship for students, as well
as sleeping bag and winter clothing drives for the city’s immigrants and the
homeless. They also have an active missions focus among street kids in
Honduras, and a vision for inspiring Danes to focus on needs beyond their
neighborhood.
The fellowship started in 1997 with some 20 people, and has
grown today to include around 200 who call Amagerbro home. At heart, they’re
relentlessly outward-focused, and have defined their mission to be the “church
for others than ourselves.”
PRAY that the new
building will be a place of refuge and hope for strangers and the needy.
PRAY that God
would strengthen their resolve to serve the community and beyond, in the name
of Jesus.
PRAY that God
would inspire a new generation of Danish believers in Amagerbro to follow
Christ where he leads.
PRAY for the
sparks of revival in Copenhagen to fan into flame from Amagerbro Frikirke.
