Tag: Greek Cypriots


UNREACHED UNENGAGED PEOPLE GROUP:  An estimated 208,400 Greek Cypriots have settled in the major cities of England, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, and Liverpool.  For the most part, they have successfully maintained their culture, even while integrating into the local society.  English is the preferred language for nearly 70% of the Greek Cypriot children in the U.K. and many of them even consider it their mother tongue.  However, cultural pressure to remain in the Greek Orthodox Church is strong and anyone who leaves and becomes an evangelical believer is ostracized.  Those who have come to faith have usually done so through miracles, dreams, release from bondage, and the casting out of evil spirits.  Petition the Lord to speak to Greek Cypriots in ways that will get their attention.  Intercede that they will have the courage to turn from their traditional, cultural beliefs and find a new identity in Christ.
