- Details: Praise God for a fruitfully full summer of ministry at SRBC. With their neighborhood schools back in session, pray for the protection of the kids and teachers. As they finish reading together and preaching through God's Word in a year, pray that they will continue to have ears to hear. New construction will begin on a senior housing complex across the street from their church building. Pray for the future residents and a vision for how they can reach them with the gospel message. Also, pray for their men's retreat at the end of September. Solomon Islands (Pacific). Population: 756,673 Believers: 33.3%. Ethnic diversity and fragmentation as well as geography render the Solomons a patchwork of tribes and political groups rather than a unified nation. This hinders not just national identity but also Christian ministry. Pray that God might knit these many islands and tribes together in the gospel. Saint Barthélemy (Caribbean). Population: 11,019 Believers: 2.3%. This island caters to the uber-rich, trading on its sophistication and isolation for its exclusivity. There is little interest in spiritual things. Pray that amid the boutiques, cafés, and villas there might awaken a hunger for spiritual reality and the opportunity to know God. Pray also that the few churches on the island might minister meaningfully into this unique context. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
