Since 2001, Prayer for Oslo (PfO) has every year gathered together a broad range of Christian churches in Oslo for the purpose of praying together. We have seen hundreds of people with hearts for Oslo participate in the different events that take place over the course of the days of Prayer for Oslo.

You will find the program for this year’s Prayer for Oslo below.

*The program is subject to changes.

Prayer for Oslo has taken place yearly since 2001 and gathers together hundreds of people every year in prayer for our city. In 2015 a special committee was tasked with creating a mission statement for Prayer for Oslo. Here is what the Mission Statement says: 

Values

·       We believe that God hears people’s prayers.

·       We believe that God acts on people’s prayers.

·       We belong to Oslo and are a part of Jesus’ church here in the city.

·       We commit ourselves to Him in prayer for our city and in our lives.

Statement of Purpose  

Christians gathered together in prayer for Oslo, to the blessing of the city, and for the equipment and inspiration for believers.

Common Goals

·       To understand the pain and needs in Oslo and the city’s meaning for this country.

·       To hear what God wants to say to the city and the church.

·       Guide people into safe experiences of who God is through a multitude of the church’s expressions of prayer (we also acknowledge worship as prayer, referring to “Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your name”.)

·       To contribute to church unity in the city

·       To strengthen churches in their works of prayer. 

During Prayer for Oslo we pray for all of Oslo's inhabitants and for everything that is happening in the city. We pray as in the Lord's Prayer that God's kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are convinced that the gospel of Jesus is good news for alle people in every way.

On October 24, 2024, the "Oslo Monitor 2.0" was presented. It provides an overview of the city's spiritual, social, and cultural situation from a church perspective. This report is prepared by Beveg Oslo on behalf of several of the city's congregations and will form the basis for part of what we will highlight in prayer. The report provides a good overview of the city's needs and what the churches are doing, while also challenging the churches in Oslo to collaborate on some specific areas.

Oslo Monitor 2.0 can be downloaded HERE (Norwegian only).

We have over the last several years had a tradition of taking up a monetary offering towards good initiatives in our city. In 2025 the leftover profits from the offerings at Prayer for Oslo will go to the work of Beveg Oslo, an organization that works towards gathering together churches, organizations and businesses for the purpose of finding out how the church can heal more of Oslo's pain, grow the churches' engagement in the city, and train up more christian society builders.
