[edit] Life
- Famous for being settled by the mutineers from HMS Bounty these islands are some of the most remote inhabited territories in the world. All of them are self governing democracies in free association with New Zealand. Christian influence has been strong for 150 years. The integration of secular and religious leadership created what are virtually theocratic states. Church attendance is high, but few have assurance of salvation.
- One of the islands, Niue has become valuable cyber-territory for web sites because of its ‘.nu’ address. It has become a money magnet for Japanese telephone pornography, internet gambling and Russian money launderers. Pray against these global evils, the neutralization of their corrupting influence and for God to judge their criminal perpetrators.
