The National Christian Associations and Councils on both St Kitts and Nevis have issued a call to prayer for those in the path of Hurricane Irma.
“This is a dangerous storm that can cause severe damage to property and threaten lives. The Federation of St Kitts and Nevis is among the countries being threatened by this storm,” they said in a statement.
“As a people of God, our first inclination in times of struggle and strife should be to fix our eyes not on the disaster itself, but on the God who promises His steady presence throughout it.”
They added that “prayer is our best and surest remedy” as they issue the call to prayer for all churches, institutions, families and individuals.
“Let us pray for the safety of our nation. Let us ask the God of our life, whose presence sustains us in every circumstance, to reorient our hearts and fill our minds with the truth of His promises,” the statement said.
“Through prayer, let us open our hearts to hope and faith in God. The Church community wishes to encourage members of general public to follow the important hurricane preparedness tips from NEMA and take precautions before, during, and after the storm. The public is also encouraged to listen to the information and advice from local Met Office, NEMA and other relevant authorities.”
The storm will turn north. Lets us pray for those people it will hit in the Northern islands.
