Current events
French Guiana, part of France in South America, has had a chikungunya epidemic in 2026. By early September there were about 1,800 confirmed cases and more than 300 people had been taken to hospital, with the outbreak slowing in the west but still active in the Savanes area.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
About 84% of people are Christian, most of them Roman Catholic, with evangelical, Adventist and other churches. Most others have no religion, and there are small Muslim and Baha'i communities.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for French Guiana. Heal the sick and protect families from the epidemic, and strengthen every doctor and nurse. Give wisdom to those who lead. Let Your love reach every people, in the towns, along the rivers and in the forest. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
