Macedonia is a landlocked state surrounded by Serbia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania. It is one of the poorest of the former Yugoslavia state. There is high unemployment and low standard of living, which has spurred an exodus of young people. The ethnic composition is made up of Albanians, Romani and Turkish communities.
In New Testament times, Paul visited Macedonia several times on his missionary journeys. The first European convert was from Macedonia after Paul had a vision about a man from Macedonia. Today, the evangelical population is small and has a stigma of being a cult, but they are growing. The people of Macedonia are responsive to the gospel, and their needs are great. Pray for the people of Macedonia, that they will embrace the good news that Paul brought to them many years ago. While our circumstances may have changed since then, the truth and message of the Good News of Jesus Christ has not changed over time.
