Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands have a rich Christian heritage, beginning with Irish settlers and later shaped by Viking influence. Faith has long been woven into the fabric of Faroese culture, with the Plymouth Brethren playing a significant role in sending missionaries across the globe. Yet, like much of Europe, secularism is on the rise.
Compared to the rest of Europe, the church in the Faroe Islands remains strong. Still, many who once walked closely with the Lord have drifted away, and we long to see them return. The reverence for God that once defined our communities is fading, and we pray for spiritual renewal.
OM in the Faroe Islands became an independent field in 2012, after years of partnership with OM Denmark. The first Faroese person joined OM in 1964, and we’ve maintained a close connection with OM’s ship ministry ever since. In fact, the current ship, Logos Hope, was once a Faroese passenger ferry named Norrøna.
Our mission in the Faroe Islands centers on three key areas:
- Sending Office – Mobilizing Faroese believers to go into all nations.
- Fund Mobilization – Raising financial support for OM ministries worldwide.
- Equipping the Local Church – Helping churches stay mission-focused and reach their communities.
God, thank You for the deep Christian roots of the Faroe Islands and the faithful legacy of those who have gone out to share Your love across the world. We pray for spiritual renewal in this land—for hearts to return to You, for reverence to be restored and for Your church to remain strong. Bless OM in the Faroe Islands as they send, support and equip Your people for mission. May Your light shine brightly from these islands to the ends of the earth.
