They call it “Webkirke” WebChurch. Webkirke.dk. It’s a three-minute online daily devotional—but more. A Friday night online chapel—but more. And a weekly online service with music, prayer, and a sermon—but more. This online ministry is reaching Danish shut-ins, vacationers, and seekers every day.
No, it’s not a replacement for in-person worship. Rather, Webkirke serves as an entry point for those outside the church. And in Denmark, that’s a hefty percentage of the population. So it makes perfect sense in Scandinavia to reach people where they are—even if it’s through a screen.
According to their website, Webkirke is for those who are curious about the Christian faith, “or who have questions about life, faith, and existence, and who may have difficulty with established church structures.”
Aside from the online worship services, Webkirke offers a variety of other faith-related options. A daily devotional features a variety of speakers, each focused on a Scripture passage. A podcast explores everyday issues and biblical themes in greater depth. And the website (webkirke.dk) offers free literature and encourages prayer requests. A diverse team from around the country handles those requests “anonymously and respectfully.”
PRAY for the Webkirke ministry, that many more curious Danes would be saved through it, and then find their way to local fellowships.
PRAY for the prayer team—Martin, Nana, Laila, and Pia—that God would give them compassion and discernment as they pray for all kinds of needs.
PRAY for the Webkirke leadership team—Peter Larsen and Jan-Gunnar Wold, for wisdom and compassion as they make decisions.
PRAY that God would supply financial needs and touch more and more lives through Webkirke.
PRAY that God would revive Denmark and Danes through this strategic ministry!
