Denmark is home to a vibrant evangelical Christian witness and a number of evangelical churches, yet compared to the overall population of the country, evangelicals are a small minority. We believe that these churches and workers need the prayer that we hope and pray will be engendered by this website.

For the glory of God, we believe wholeheartedly that Danes in our time have the right to hear and understand the Word of God and the claims of the crucified, dead, and resurrected Christ, who as God in human flesh came "to seek and to save the lost."

Evangelical, but non-denominational
This is an informal ministry. We intend our perspective to be evangelical but non-denominational. Our hope is that Pray for Denmark will be a means of calling evangelical believers of Danish ancestry in Great Britain, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere to pray for the progress of evangelistic efforts in their Danish homeland.

Our definition of "evangelical" is rather broad but largely encompasses those churches affiliated with the World Evangelical Alliance, but does not exclude those that may not be.

We invite evangelical believers and churches all over the world who have an interest in Denmark to utilize the resources at this website to pray for Denmark’s evangelical community. May God bless in unusual ways as His people unite to pray.

How did Pray for Denmark originate?
This website is the product of the vision of two American evangelical Christians of Danish ancestry. Bill Hunter is a retired pastor, missionary, and an emeritus professor from Biola University in La Mirada, California, and Brad Haugaard is a writer employed in the computer industry.

The two met at church in Southern California, and have maintained contact over the years. One of Bill’s fondest memories is Christmas 1952, when he was given the opportunity by then Pastor Bangaard Thomsen to speak at Copenhagen’s Kristuskirken. Bill approached Brad with the idea of a prayer-oriented website for evangelistic outreach in Denmark. He feels confident that the Lord has laid this concern for Denmark on his heart.

Their Danish ties
Bill’s parents came from Denmark, his mother from Sparkær village in Viborg Amt and his father from Copenhagen. His original family name was Olsen or Olsson. His mother's maiden name was Nielsen. Bill's surname changed to Hunter at age seven as a result of adoption following his mother's death. Brad's ancestors on his father's side came from Denmark several generations ago.
