Pray for Turks and Caicos Islands
These are two sets of island nations, Turks and Caicos Islands, in the Caribbean waters that are small and with a small population. As a whole, both are strongly Christian. These nations both have a lot of tourism that brings in people from around the world. With the tourism, there comes a lot of illegal drug trafficking and money laundering.
The freedom experienced in these nations has challenged people’s beliefs in God. Standards of holy living are often put to the side to be able to enjoy the lifestyles of those visiting and the immigrants coming in. It is expected that immigrants may soon number higher than the native peoples of these islands.
Points to pray:
Discipleship of new believers
Breaking of bondage to illegal drugs
Open doors to be a witness to the immigrants
