Caribbean Prayer Summit – Online 22-23 May
Greetings from the secretariat of the Caribbean Prayer Summit. We are excited about hosting the 4th Caribbean Prayer Summit (CPS) on May 22-23, 2020 which will now be ONLINE under the theme “A United Caribbean Church …a Regional Revival”.
Since its inception the CPS has been convened in Barbados (2007), Suriname (2008) and Jamaica 2009. The CPS was initiated by the International Prayer Council through Rev Maria Harbajan, their Caribbean Coordinator and Representative.
We believe that intercessory prayer changes things and in light of the myriad of issues facing the region at this time, including the challenges facing CARICOM, the CPS aims to target Intercessory Prayer leaders throughout the region and beyond with the following objectives:-
- To provide a forum for the networking of Intercessory Prayer leaders across the Caribbean – no island is to stand alone in its spiritual war
- Strategic planning for the setting up of National Prayer Networks on islands where there might not be any in place – every island needs one
- To have the island representatives present the most critical needs of their nation and have the regional gathering uphold them/their nation in corporate intercession and spiritual warfare – together we will win the war
- Development of links, networks, and initiatives in the region; exposing what already exists – exposing opportunities available for training; impartation.
- Prayers for healing of the nations in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
- To encourage the Caribbean youth and children to become more involved in intercession – raising up Millennials to be powerful and effective in prayer. (Special online program sessions – see website)
- To introduce the concept of a day of National Repentance to be presented to Governments and assist in having it executed in all the islands of the region.
We would be happy to have you join us ONLINE for this historic occasion. Please view this as our invitation to you and/or at least one other Intercessor who could represent your nation at the Summit.

The Caribbean: prayer needs
Around 44 million people live in the Caribbean, three-quarters of them in Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Everywhere, the same stories are familiar themes - a legacy of colonial rule and slavery, a current story of fragility, inequality, and broken families. Some islands have very high rates of violent crime. In many countries there is a deep sense of God, and evangelical movements are growing. The most urgent and strategic need is for greater discipleship of the millions of Christians in the Caribbean. Pray also for church unity, for spiritual formation and discipleship, and for the churches to make an impact in society, particularly those with inroads to voodoo. Voodoo is the name for the religious practices of many Haitians; some prefer to identify their religion as ‘serving the spirits.’ See
Puerto Rico: earthquake affects millions
On 7 December Puerto Rico was hit by the worst earthquake to hit the island in 102 years. By 9 December two-thirds of the island was still without power. The earthquake knocked out the main generating facility and damaged other infrastructure. Six months after Hurricane Maria in 2017, many Puerto Ricans still had no electricity: even now, a quarter of the island has no running water. The 6.4 magnitude quake and 6.0 aftershock destroyed 300 homes. A 73-year-old man is the only confirmed death to date. Thousands are still sleeping outside or in their cars, fearful of being indoors during another quake. Governor Wanda Vazquez declared a state of emergency, activating the island's National Guard to help with recovery efforts. Pray for the hospitals, the vulnerable, the elderly, families and businesses among the three million people without power. Pray for the islanders, still recovering from Hurricane Maria (which killed nearly 3,000), and now coping with destruction and further disruption of their lives.
Latin America / Caribbean: corruption
Bribery, vote-buying and sexual extortion are major issues of concern for citizens in Latin America and the Caribbean; a survey asked over 17,000 citizens from 18 countries about their experiences of bribery and perceptions of corruption. The survey sheds light on sexual extortion, or sextortion, one of the most gruesome gendered impacts of corruption. One in five people have experienced sextortion or know someone who has while accessing basic public services in Latin America and the Caribbean and one in four are offered bribes in exchange for votes, which highlights an alarming lack of political integrity among governments across the region. The good news is that an overwhelming majority of people are optimistic that they can make a difference in the fight against corruption. Now, more than ever, leaders urgently need to fight corruption and strengthen democracy. Pray for God to comfort those abused, give peace to those living in fear, and help NGOs and governments as they fight corruption in its various forms.
They looked closer and found survivors
Flying over the Bahamas, a helicopter was dropping supplies, when a passenger pointed out a destroyed village and asked if people could possibly still be alive there. They had flown over it several times and had not seen any people or movement, but on the next run they felt an urge to fly closer and land, to check out their passenger’s suspicions. Then forty people climbed out of overturned vehicles and rubble where they had been sheltering, and ran to the team, who quickly gave food, water, tents, and other supplies to these ever-so-grateful and elated survivors.
