The Cook Islands is composed of fifteen inhabited islands. Economically, the islands are challenged from further development due to isolation from foreign markets[1]. Agriculture employs more than 25% of the population in this nation[2]. Let’s Pray… 

-Father, we thank you for presence on the islands and for the work of the Holy Spirit moving and breathing life on these islands. We pray that your followers would be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Father, we pray for an evangelical spirit to press forth on your people, that they would go forth and share your gospel of truth in their communities. We pray for boldness, wisdom, and grace to lead them on this journey.  Holy Spirt, lead your churches until every Cook Islander is covered in the blood of Jesus. Help all your believers seek to love you with all their heart, soul, and strength. Amen.*    

-Father, we lift up the economy to you on the islands and we ask that you would continue to bless the work of their hands. We pray for the agriculture sector to continue to grow. We pray for new businesses and foreign investment to grow in this nation. We also pray for the health and wellness of the Cook Islanders and ask for your wisdom, grace, and support to meet people where they are at so they can press towards healthy lifestyles. Amen.
