Current events

She will be the first woman to lead the territory, with Senate President Milton Potter as lieutenant governor. Janelle Sarauw was elected delegate to Congress, and voters replaced several senators. The power company has warned that rolling outages could return while generator repairs stretch into 2027.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
Most Virgin Islanders are Christian, about 87% in 2022. Baptists, Catholics and Episcopalians were the largest groups in the 2010 census, and smaller Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist and Rastafari communities are present.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for the US Virgin Islands. Bring reliable power and water to every home. Give wisdom and integrity to the new governor, the lieutenant governor and every newly elected leader as they prepare to serve. Draw Your people together in faith and hope. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
