Current events
Saint Helena is a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. In June 2026 the UK announced that Belinda Lewis would take up the post of Governor of St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in September, succeeding Nigel Phillips. In July Chief Minister Dr Rebecca Cairns-Wicks presented the first budget of the new government, which includes child benefit for children up to five, help with electricity prices and cheaper bus fares for people over 70.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Spiritual landscape
Most people on Saint Helena are Anglican, and there are also Baptist, Seventh-day Adventist and Roman Catholic churches. These are older figures from about 2000.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Saint Helena. Provide for every family, especially young children and the elderly. Give wisdom and integrity to the new Governor and to the government. Strengthen the churches and let Your hope reach every home on the island. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
