• Pray for Denmark and Greenland Territory

Each week throughout 2025, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.

The focus territory/region shares prayer requests to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (6-12 October), we are praying for The Salvation Army in Denmark and Greenland.

Lieut-Colonels Jan and Kjersti Risan lead the Denmark and Greenland Territory.

The Denmark and Greenland Territory has 62 officers (37 active and 25 retired), 21 corps; 2 outposts; 694 senior soldiers; 275 adherents; 1 junior soldier; 75 employees.

The work of the territory includes:

·  Homelessness services

·  Disaster response

·  Care for older people

·  Modern slavery and human trafficking response

·  Debt counselling

·  Holiday camps for children and young people

Please pray for:

Candidates Strategy: Pray for a new Territorial Candidate Strategy.  With a desire to ensure the bright future of the Army, we ask for wisdom to create a strategy that fits our culture.

Discipleship: Pray that disciple-making communities may shape our corps, so that faith is deepened, lives are transformed, and everyday witness reflects faithful discipleship to Jesus for the young people in our territory.

Financial Challenges: Please pray for wisdom and provision as the territory navigates significant financial challenges. With limited territorial resources, we need God’s wisdom and courage to step out in faith. Ask God to provide creative and sustainable solutions to support ongoing ministry.

Holy Living: Pray for a greater hunger and thirst for God and what pleases him.  May our passions and work align with his mission and fill us with his joy and a greater sense of unity. Pray that Salvationists in Denmark and Greenland will live boldly for Christ, reflecting his love in their communities.

Recruitment: Please pray for recruitment and training of new members and officers.  Pray also that soldiers and adherents will take on local leadership responsibilities in the corps. 

Territorial Leadership: Please pray for Territorial Leadership. Pray for God’s Spirit to guide and lead us with wisdom, vision and courage as we focus on the newly created strategy plan. Help us rearrange priorities and structures to align with present realities, according to God’s revealed plan and purpose.
