Current events
French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France, described as an overseas country within the Republic. In September President Moetai Brotherson attended the Pacific Islands Forum in Palau, while at home the largest party in the assembly has divided and there is open debate about the islands' future and about seabed mining.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
Most people in French Polynesia are Christian, about 94%. Reports say about 54% are Protestant and about 38% are Catholic (2019). About 5% have no religion.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for French Polynesia. Bless families across Tahiti and the outer islands, and provide work and daily bread for each home. Give President Brotherson and all in authority wisdom, integrity and a spirit of unity. Let Your truth and hope be known in every church and community from island to island. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
