Elijah Project: Day 7

Country: Anguilla 

Anguilla, a British dependency in the Caribbean, is a small little island with full religious freedom. Most have Christian backgrounds. 

What to pray for:

1) That the Holy Spirit will fall heavy on them and that their spiritual traditions might be infused with the daily work of the Holy Spirit.

2) Even slight changes in a tourism year can cause challenges for such a small populated island. Pray for strength to endure the ever changing environment.

3) Unity between denominations

What God put on my heart today:

It makes me so happy to read about the religious freedom in this country and I love knowing that so many of them know you and believe in you. I pray against people in Anguilla becoming stagnate in their faith. I pray for a vibrant, living, and active faith in each person there. Overwhelm Anguilla with your Holy Spirit and your mighty power. Lord don't let being a part of a denomination separate the church. I ask that each follower of you would be united because they are your children and they love you. Lord don't let different styles of worship or prayer get in the way of furthering your kingdom. Unite the church of Anguilla as one body under you.

Country: Antigua and Bermuda

Two small islands in the Caribbean, both with freedom of religion and high numbers of believers.

What to pray for:

1) Although many have a Christian background, there is a strong lack of biblical morals. It is a country that remains entrenched in strongholds of sin.

·      Gambling, violence, drug dealing, and money laundering are all rich within the country and actually contribute a good bit to the economy. 

·      Pray for biblically righteous authorities that deal with these issues with wisdom and discernment.

2) Unity among the churches and a call to fervent prayer for the state of their people. 

My prayer:

Father, thank you for loving us where we are at. Thank you for loving us in our sin. Thank you that you use us despite our sin. This is true of Antigua and Bermuda, show them your forgiveness. Give them a desire and passion to obey you. Lord break the chains of sin, they are strong but you are stronger.
