Challenges for Prayer

      Guernsey and especially Jersey rely upon the financial sector for their economic growth, leading to accusations they are used as tax havens. Relative prosperity and an emphasis on material wealth have inevitably blunted the spiritual life of the islands; pray for an awakening.
The island of Sark was the last feudal state in Europe. In 2008, they held their first democratic elections, which led to a great deal of controversy and to the closing of many businesses. Though all businesses reopened within a few weeks, the economy was negatively impacted, and the political situation remains somewhat uncertain. Pray that the island will be able to build a just government while continuing to protect its delicate ecosystem.
