Why Pray?
- Russia is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth’s inhabitable landmass. It is the ninth-most populous country and the most populous country in Europe, with a population of 145.5 million. If a revival proceeds from there, it will set the whole world on fire for Jesus Christ.
- Over 70% of people living in Russia practice Russian Orthodoxy, a religion that mixes tradition with idolatry and worship of the dead while masquerading as Christanity.
- As at 2012, 47% people in Russia practised true Christianity. Today (just 10 years later) only 20% still follow the teachings of the bible.
- Russians are undergoing political oppression and the true Christian community is being adversely affected.
Prayers

Message
After fasting and praying, this is what I perceive the Lord is saying to the people of these nations:
You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1 KJV
