Prayer briefing for Grenada
Last updated October 2026. Facts come from the sources listed below.
Current events
Grenadians vote in a general election on 5 November 2026, almost a year before it was due, and nomination day was 15 October. The cost of living is a main theme for the parties. Carriacou and Petite Martinique took the heaviest damage from Hurricane Beryl in July 2024.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Leadership and politics
Grenada is a constitutional monarchy with King Charles III as head of state, represented by Governor-General Dame Cécile La Grenade. Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell of the National Democratic Congress seeks a second term against the New National Party, led by Emmalin Pierre, and the new Democratic People's Movement. Former Prime Minister Keith Mitchell left politics in 2026 after 42 years in Parliament.
We pray for: Wisdom, integrity and justice for those in authority.
Economic health
The government points to lower electricity tariffs and a subsidy running to the end of 2026, while families still feel the cost of living. Public debt is about 72% of GDP, and about a fifth of government revenue other than grants comes from citizenship by investment, IMF figures show. The government is studying data on possible offshore oil and gas.
We pray for: Provision for families and honest stewardship.
Social and cultural issues
About 82% of Grenadians are Afro-Caribbean, with mixed (about 13%) and Indian communities (2020 figures). The people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, hit hardest by Hurricane Beryl, need continued care.
We pray for: Reconciliation, peace and protection of the vulnerable.
Spiritual landscape
About 97% of Grenadians are Christian (2020 figure): about half Protestant and about two in five Catholic. Small Hindu and Rastafari communities are also present. Two historic churches in St George damaged by Hurricane Ivan were restored in 2021.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Religious freedom
People of all faiths are free to worship, and Freedom House gives Grenada its top score of 4 out of 4 for religious freedom.
We pray for: Protection for believers and freedom to worship safely.
Historical wounds
Grenada became independent from Britain in 1974. A revolution in 1979 brought the People's Revolutionary Government to power, and in October 1983 a split within it led to the killing of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and others, followed by a US and regional military intervention. A truth and reconciliation commission held hearings from 2000, and Hurricane Ivan damaged about 90% of homes in 2004.
We pray for: National healing, breaking old cycles and deep forgiveness.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Grenada. Bring peace and safety through the coming election, and keep caring for the people of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to every leader and candidate. Provide for families who feel the cost of living, and guide honest stewardship of the nation. Unite Grenadians across every party and community, and protect the vulnerable. Let the hope of Jesus be alive in every church and home, and keep this land free to worship You. Heal the wounds of 1983 and of past storms, and lead Grenada in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
