Introduction to Croatia:

Croatia, with its stunning Adriatic coast and rich historical heritage, is one of Europe’s most picturesque countries. While it is celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural landmarks, Croatia has also undergone significant transitions since gaining independence and dealing with the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars. Most Croatians identify as Christian, predominantly Roman Catholic, with smaller Orthodox and Protestant communities. Despite its progress, Croatia faces challenges like economic disparities, youth emigration, and integration into broader European frameworks. This prayer guide aims to assist Christians worldwide in praying effectively for their brothers and sisters in Croatia and for the Gospel to continue influencing the nation profoundly.
