Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son. He will judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with justice. The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.Psalm 72:1 NKJV

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?Psalm 85:6 NIV

1. Materialism, stimulated mostly by tourism, deeply affects all levels of society. Lowering standards of morality see a rise in births out of wedlock, drug use and violent crime (especially armed robbery). Pray for social righteousness and a government that works to serve all strata of society.

2. Christian commitment is low and nominalism widespread, despite nearly all Bahamians claiming to be Christian. Few are willing to commit themselves to the Lord’s work, and many congregations are without adequate pastoral care. Most households own a Bible; few actively read it. Pray for revival and for a missionary vision among believers.

3. There is a growing Haitian Diaspora who are resented by Bahamians. Pray for God to enable the Bahamian Church to minister meaningfully to this needy group in their midst.
