Introduction:

Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country in Southeastern Europe known for its natural beauty, diverse culture, and complex history, is a place where East meets West. The nation is still healing from the scars of the war in the 1990s, with a population consisting of Muslims, Orthodox Christians, and Catholics, along with a small but growing number of evangelical Christians. Despite the progress in physical rebuilding, there remains a deep need for spiritual healing and reconciliation. This prayer guide is designed to help Christians around the world to pray for the believers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the Gospel to transform lives across this nation.
