• Moral laxity, superstition, and the growing marginal sects show how few understand the message of salvation. Catholics are the majority on all islands but St. Eustatius which is predominantly Methodist and Evangelical witness has progressed slowly but steadily. Pray for a growing and vibrant church to be established in every island.
