Prayer:
Glorious Lord I have the privilege of lifting up and presenting the peoples and the nation that is called Bosnia and Herzegovina by this world. I know that those who have accepted your son, Jesus, that you have another name for these people, your sons and daughters. I also know by your word that you would have none go unsaved, coming unto a full acceptance of your son and His saving grace.
Therefore I as your humble servant do offer up to you the nation and the peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina for your blessing. Please heal not only their land but their spirits as well. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
