In the Dominican Republic, there is a massive inequality between the rich and the poor where the poorest half of the nation receives one-fifth of the GDP and the richest 10% receive 40% of the GDP[1]. The Dominican Republic is also a source, transit, & destination country for men, women, and children trafficked towards the industry of forced labor and sexual exploitation[2]. Let’s united together and destroy this industry in the Dominican Republic. We pray for...

-An end to human trafficking in the Dominican Republic through the blood of Jesus Christ! Yahweh, our holy God, we pray for holiness to come to the island of the Dominican Republic, & that your blessings would pour over onto the nation of Haiti. Bring repentance to the guilty, and pour out your fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control upon the captive.* Thank you Jesus! 

-Revival for the church in the Dominican Republic. Just as your disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, we pray for this same infilling of the Holy Spirit upon your believers in the Dominican Republic. Let your Holy Spirit be poured out from Heaven onto each household, and may your gift of tongues rest upon the souls of each believer.**

-Those who are poor in the eyes of this world to be rich in faith and inherit the kingdom that you God promised to those who love you.***

-Those affected by Hurricane Irene & that they would be touched by your hand Father through your Christians who act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you Father.****

-The protection of your people in all of central and South America from diarrhea, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, dengue fever, malaria and leptospirosis. We pray for your divine healing over every person in Jesus name we pray. 

-Improved sanitation systems and drinking water sources. 

-The ports of the Dominican Republic to be holy ground, similar to the area surrounding the burning bush with Moses. Jesus, we pray for you to clean up the ports in the Dominican Republic, & that no ships with drugs would be allowed to port, for it is holy ground. Deny entry to the Dominican Republic & bring repentance to those involved in drug trafficking. We also pray against money laundering and that you would rid this nation of drug money. Bring repentance in the name of Jesus Christ through the corrupt areas of this world. Thank you Jesus!!
