Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (12-18 October) we pray for the Caribbean Territory.

This territory is made up of 16 different nations: Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, French Guiana, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St Kitts, St Lucia, St Maarten, St Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Caribbean Territory has 268 officers (268 active, 0 retired); 11 Envoys; 127 corps; 52 outposts; 12,751 senior soldiers; 2351 adherents; 3976 junior soldiers; 921 employees.

Commissioners Emmanuel and Edeline Supré lead the territory.

The work of the Caribbean Territory includes:

Education
Disaster response
Modern slavery and human trafficking response
Homes for older people.

Praise points:

We praise God for his goodness and for being merciful as the territory continues to experience various natural disasters including hurricanes, earthquakes and other excessive weather phenomena.
We thank God for friends, families and strangers across the international Salvation Army and beyond who responded in love and fervent prayer when the territory faced natural disasters.
We give thanks for God-inspired wisdom and leadership of our officers that has resulted in the successful implementation and execution of soul-winning, saints-growing and humanity-serving initiatives at all levels across the territory.

Disaster response to Cyclone Melissa which devastated the region in October 2025.
