In October 2026, we’ll be praying for Greece, a country home to 170,000 refugees, where 14 out of every 46 people are considered unreached.
Pray for Greece
Greece has a population of 9.8 million. Its primary religion is Greek Orthodox, but less than 3% of the population atends church regularly.
The country has the largest merchant fleet and a history of massive public spending. Tax evasion and recession has led to a government debt crisis that Greece has yet to recover from.
As a major refugee hub for those fleeing war in Asia and Africa, Greece currently hosts over 170,000 refugees—most of whom live in unstable conditions.

Prayer Resources
Praying for Refugees
Due to its location, Greece has become an important passageway for many seeking refuge. Pray that refugees would have opportunities to integrate into Greek culture.
Pray for those living in harsh living conditions. Ask the Lord to remove red tape that limits access to jobs, housing, and other necessities.
Pray for families who have been separated as they have fled their war-torn homelands.
The Parthenon
The Parthenon was part of a rebuilding program in Greece following years of wars and destruction in the country. It was primarily built to honor the Greek goddess Athena, but it also served as a treasury. This building has endured for so many decades, leaving many visitors pondering the values of the society that would build such an impressive structure.
The Parthenon is still a huge part of Greek culture today, celebrating their democracy and identity. When you see photos of the Parthenon, pray for Greeks to find their identity in Jesus alone.
