Bosnia-Herzegovina comprises two entities: The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Serbia. The Federation is predominantly Bosniak (Muslims and Croat (Catholics), while the Republic of Serbia is Serb (Orthodox). To complicate matters more, Bosnia has a directly elected tripartite presidency. The three presidency members are from the three constituent nations: one Bosniak, one Serb, one Croat. Ask Father God, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit to move in BiH to bring about a peaceful union between these three constituents. Pray they may function and rule in peace and harmony for the good of all.

With a population of less than 60,000, Bihac is a quaint little city in the Bosanska Krajina region of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Zenica is the fourth largest city of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the administrative center of the Zenica-Doboj Canton. It is located about 40 miles north of Sarajevo and is situated on the Bosna River.

How is God leading you to pray for the city of Zenica?

In it we can see your creativity and your lavish love for all people.

In Acts 10, we read that Cornelius was expectant and “had called together his relatives and close friends” to hear what Peter had to say about the Lord.

Ask God to stir expectation in them, preparing them for what local believers, pastors, and missionaries share with them. Ask God to bring salvation to whole groups of relatives and friends in Banja Luka.
