Aruba is a small island with a population of about 112,000 people, yet hosts around 1.5 million tourists yearly[1]. Let us continue to lift up the church, which is growing unified through Christ.  Additional prayer points include Aruba’s ports which serve as a transshipment point for US & Europe bound narcotics[2]. Aruba also has a high percentage of cocaine users[3]. Father, we pray for…

-Unity amongst believers & for Christians to sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron.*

-The fruits of the Holy Spirit to fill each believer in Christ. Father, pour out your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control on these believers.** We pray that they could be your light to all the visitors on the island. 

-Churches to impact the lives of the native speaking people from Aruba.

-Aruba’s ports to be holy unto the Lord. Father, we pray for the stationing of your angels amongst their ports. Let everything that enters their ports be honoring to the Lord. We pray for an overflowing of the Holy Spirit upon drug users in Aruba and that they would be repelled by drugs and seek the Lord with all their heart, all their soul, and all their strength.***  We pray that they would repent of their sins and receive your grace Jesus Christ. Amen.
