European Peoples

Lithuania

The nation of Lithuania has fewer than 1% evangelical Christians and has one of the highest suicide rates on the globe. Millennials have abandoned the state religion and become agnostic. They are raising their children without any knowledge of God. Lithuania needs the hope that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
