Italy: 600 times more full-time Occult workers than Pastors
Spiritually speaking, Europe has become a dark, dark place. Take Italy. I found these statistics staggering.
98% of Italians claim Roman Catholicism as their faith/religion (though far fewer attend mass), but perhaps the true religion of Italy is the Occult.
Italy is steeped in the Occult and Satanism. There are over 100,000 full-time consulting magicians (Occult) in Italy. That is three times the number of Catholic priests and 600 times the number of trained pastors in this nation.
Evangelicals make up less than 1% of the population; there is only one trained pastor for every 350,000 people. The Italian church is weak and divided.
Pray with me: Lord, we cry out for Italy. Send out labourers into this dark nation. Strengthen those who belong to you there; may they be shining lights for you. Father, wake us up to the realities of the lost around the world--including Europe--and get us moving, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
