Challenges for Prayer

The shift in economy, from sugar to tourism and offshore finance, has borne unwanted fruit in attracting, along with the money, undesirable elements. Pray for personal and social righteousness to combat this trend.
There is no lack of churches or other ministries on these islands, but their impact is limited. Pray for the Holy Spirit to revive, empower and embolden believers for Kingdom effectiveness. Pray especially for ministries that draw together the diverse denominations, such as the Evangelical Association and Youth Impact Ministries.
     For an additional Challenge for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
