You have our prayers. One year ago Bermuda was hit by Hurricane Fabian. We have come a long way in recovery, but not so far as to forget what we went through. We sympathize with those who are in the way of this season's storm and are ready to give what support we can. May the Lord of all creation be with you, protect and sustain you!

we will keep on praying for our brothers in the Island do not lose hope God is trustworthy. The Bible says that our Lord will never leave ur nor foresake us, but will be with us forever. John 14:13 says that if we ask God, He will do whatever we ask. Therefore lets pray in faith because nothing makes prayer works than having faith in Christ.

Pls find attached a prayer for help below.

From Bro. Dan Leeba and Rev. Molefi Motsoenyane from the Orangia Conference in the Nineteenth Episcopal District.

Prayer for Help (From: Praying God's Promises)

Lord God, you are everything to me. My spirit rejoices in you, my Savior. Thank you for seeking me when I was lost and for finding me. Thank you for choosing me to go forth and bear lasting fruit in your name. Thank you for enabling me to bear fruit for you, Lord. Without you, I can do nothing.

You are good, O Lord, and you are always ready to forgive. Thank you for your plentiful mercy in my life which I always receive when I call upon you. You are always there to help me; therefore, I will never be confounded. I have set my face like a flint, and I know that you will never let me be ashamed.

You truly are a very present help to me, and I am receiving your help even now as I pray. Thank you, Father. You are my refuge and strength, and because this is true, I will not fear anything or anyone. You are in my midst, and I will not be moved. You are always there to help me speedily. You are with me, Lord. Knowing this, I will be still. I know that you are my God. Thank you for your constant help in my life, Lord. Amen

While at this moment the largest and most dangerous Hurricane in 20 years batters the lovely island of Jamaica I too pray for all of those on this little island. Also there is my 93 year old Great Aunt Alma Jones whose late Husband was the rector at the Cathedral at St. Johns.I pray that no lives are lost. As my pastor has already indicated we too felt it last year in Bermuda and it was not a pretty site. We pray for those who will be involved in the clean up as well. God be with you all Love from Bermuda

Bishop Guidry,

My prayers are with you and the people in your district. I remember the destruction from last year's hurricane Fabian to Bermuda and although I am currently living in Arizona, I still have family in Bermuda. God bless you in this new work.
