The Lombards are defined by their language, Lombard, and the region where they live, Lombardy. They live mainly in Italy though there is also a sizable number in Switzerland as well.
Their ancestors were from a prominent Germanic tribe which sometimes fought against Roman forces. Lombards, who were once settle pastoralists, settled north of the Rhine River in Austria in the late 400s. 546 marked the beginning of the first Lombard dynasty. They moved south to conquer much of northern Italy. Lombard rule ended in 774 when Charlemagne’s Frankish army forcibly took the Lombard kingdom.
Lombards may be found working in any kind of job. They live like any other European ethnic group.
Though almost all Lombards are Christian, mainly Roman Catholic, they are secular in their worldview. In their daily lives they depend on the ways of humankind rather than the ways of God. The church is where one is married and buried, but it is not a source of guidance.
The Lombards need to hear and heed the words of the Bible. Their worldview needs to be centered around Jesus Christ.
Pray for the Lord to raise up and thrust out Lombard disciples who will disciple others.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the churches in Lombardy, bringing them to a purified faith.
Pray for Lombard Roman Catholics to begin to study and heed the Bible.
