Pray for this year’s Å-Festival, Denmark’s largest Christian music and praise gathering, planned for May 22 through 25. Organizers expect more then 3,000 young people for three days of concerts and praise gatherings, seminars and special speakers, prayer times, and even a volleyball tournament.
Most festival attendees will stay in camping trailers spread out on a large field near Sønder (South) Felding, a rural village in central Jylland. Large tents are set up for the main gatherings.
Rend Collective, a popular praise band from Northern Ireland, is billed as one of the music headliners.
“Å-festival is a completely different way to meet with other Christians, compared to Bible camp,” said Kåre Dyer Pedersen. “Here we’re coming together around music and around Jesus, and around the fact that our love of music can also be reflected in our faith in Christ. Here, there’s room to just be, and we’ll put together the coolest music program for you.”
The annual festival started in 1991 as a way to engage with teens, especially those newly confirmed in the church. It’s obviously grown since then!
PRAY for many believers (and perhaps also seekers!) to attend this year’s festival.
PRAY for the speakers and performers, that they would know God’s heart for Danish young people.
PRAY that young lives would be changed and faith deepened in genuine, lasting ways.
