Jamaica has sunk into a morass of social and economic problems that appears insoluble. It has one of the worlds highest homicide rates in the world. Violence in society is made worse by the powerful drug cartels and their distribution networks in both Jamaica and the United States. Over 37% of cocain-carrying 'mules' arrested entering the USA arrive from Jamica. Half the male population are drug-abusers. Pray that government and church leaders may have the courage, moral intergrity and dertermination to turn the country back from sin and to God. The spirtual temperature of Jamaica affects that of the whole Caribbean. Pray that the Jamaica Association of Evangelicals may be a model of unity and cooperation to weak and struggling associations in other countries. Pray also that the 15 Bible schools and seminaries in Jamica, which serve the whole Caribbean, may be powerhouses of spiritual life and missions vision.
Also, please pray for Jamaica during this time of State of Emergency. Pray that the violence will come to an end. That the drug lords will be removed and that Jesus will do a work in their hearts. Pray for peace on that Island.
Blessings,
Kim
