The Future for the Caribbean

​The World Day of Prayer (WDP) movement is not a new concept in the Caribbean, especially not to the beautiful island of Barbados. From my time spent within WDP I believe we are ready for a new injection of blood, sweat and prayers into the movement in Barbados and the Caribbean.
​
With the opportunity to learn from the rest of the World Day of Prayer communities who gathered in Brazil in 2017, and being selected and elected to the Executive Committee, I am beginning to understand the reasons for the blood (of Jesus), the sweat (of the women and families who need assistance), and the prayers (of every living believer in Christ).

1 Kings 8:44-45 states:
​
If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the Lord toward the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name, then hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause. (NRSV)

This is my prayer for the future for WDP in the Caribbean:

Gracious and Compassionate God, every Christ lover shall hear the cries of the World Day of Prayer, and make the hearts of the countries being prayed for their own; WDP would be expanded to include all of the nations of the Caribbean; the WDP movement will cause movement in governments of countries who do not recognise women’s rights; WDP will be celebrated in every Christian denomination; WDP would be celebrated every month of the year in some recognisable way so that the first Friday in March would naturally mobilize a national celebration.

Dear God of Justice, we your people are out in a constant battle against the enemy, and we are thankful that you promised never to leave us or forsake us. The enemy shows up in poverty, in pain, in sickness, in brokenness and even in prosperity and gain. As we live and move and have our being in you, we pray these seven promises over our lives:

You will be with us,
you will protect us,
you will be our strength,
you will answer our prayers,
you will provide for us,
you will give us peace
and you will always love us.
​Father, we worship you and praise you and thank you for being our God, our Savior and our Friend. We pray these things in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen!
- Rev. Ruth V.E. Phillips, Regional Rep. of Caribbean & North America

I am in total agreement that the Caribbean needs new injection and needs revitalization. I have been suggesting that our Country, need to have a person or persons visiting to inspire and encourage new blood into the Organization. My country is St.Vincent and The Grenadines....I pray this is taken into consideration. ..Blessings!

Blessings Shirley Howard, You have our attention. Are you willing to spearhead the receipt of information and then the dissemination of what is received, to the church leaders in St. Vincent? Are you in a position to provide names and email addresses of church leaders, so that information can be forwarded to them? Feel free to email me at sergmummy@yahoo.com. Thank you and God Bless!
