Dear Friends and Members of the Virgin Islands Community\,
There are moments when a community must pause\, come together\ , and pray. We believe this is one of those moments for the Virgin Islands .
Restore America’s Paradise (RAP) invites you to join us o n Wednesday\, November 18\, in St. Croix for a special Prayer Breakfast fo r the Virgin Islands\, featuring Pastor Marc T. Little as our honored gues t host\, joined by local co-hosts Pastor Dexter Skepple and Pastor Mathias Clavier.
This will be much more than a breakfast. It will be a morning of prayer\, reflection\, fellowship\, and hope—an opportunity for people from across our islands to stand together and lift up our fami lies\, our communities\, and the future of the Virgin Islands.
< p>Why Are We Gathering?The Virgin Islands a re blessed with extraordinary people\, beautiful islands\, rich culture\, and enormous potential. But we also face challenges that touch every commu nity—from the well-being of our children and families to public safety\, education\, economic opportunity\, homelessness\, and the need for strong er communities.
RAP believes that addressing these challenges requires more than policies\, programs\, and resources. It requires peopl e who are willing to come together\, serve one another\, and seek wisdom a nd guidance for the road ahead.
That is why we are gathering to pray.
We will pray for our children and young people\, our families\, our schools\, our churches\, our businesses\, our neighborhood s\, and those entrusted with serving our communities.
We will pray for peace in our neighborhoods\, strength in our families\, wisdom f or our leaders\, opportunity for our young people\, healing for those who are hurting\, and renewed hope throughout the Virgin Islands.
And we will pray that the people of the Virgin Islands will rediscover th e strength that comes when we choose unity over division\, service over se lf-interest\, and hope over discouragement.
A Gatheri ng for Everyone
This is a nonpartisan community even t. We are inviting elected officials\, community leaders\, pastors and chu rch leaders\, business leaders\, educators\, families\, and concerned citi zens from throughout the Virgin Islands.
You do not have to h old a particular political position or belong to a particular organization to participate.
This is about the Virgin Isla nds.
It is about coming together as neighbors\, parents\, g randparents\, leaders\, servants\, and citizens to acknowledge our challen ges\, celebrate our blessings\, and seek God's guidance for the future of our islands. It is an opportunity for our community to put differences asi de and come together in faith\, fellowship\, and prayer.
We are hono red to have Pastor Marc T. Little serve as our guest host\, joined by Past or Dexter Skepple and Pastor Mathias Clavier as local co-hosts. Together\, they will help lead a meaningful morning of prayer\, inspiration\, fellow ship\, and reflection as we gather with leaders and citizens from througho ut the community.
We want this gathering to remind us of something i mportant:
The future of the Virgin Islands belongs to all of us.
And while we may not agree on everything\, we c an still agree that our children deserve hope\, our families deserve suppo rt\, our communities deserve peace\, and our islands deserve a future fill ed with opportunity and promise.
Let us come together.
L
et us pray together.
Let us believe together.
And let us work to
gether for the Virgin Islands we want to leave for the next generation.
