时事
Jamaica is marking one year since Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that struck western Jamaica on 28 October 2025. It affected more than 150,000 homes, and at least 120,000 buildings lost their roofs, mostly in the southwest. By April 2026 the Prime Minister said schools, hospitals and utilities were almost fully restored, but many homes and roofs are still being repaired.
我们为以下事项祷告： 即时救援、安全和紧急帮助.
领导与政治
Jamaica is a parliamentary democracy. Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the Jamaica Labour Party won a third term in the election of 3 September 2025, taking 34 seats to 29 for the People's National Party. In September 2026 he urged his party to govern in the public interest, and in October Parliament passed a law to tackle jury tampering.
我们为以下事项祷告： 为掌权者求智慧、正直和公义.
经济状况
Public debt fell from more than 140% of GDP in 2013 to about 73% in 2024. Hurricane Melissa then caused damage estimated by the UN at about 8 to 15 billion US dollars, roughly a quarter of GDP. More than 50,000 households were assessed for financial help.
我们为以下事项祷告： 家庭的供应和诚实的管理.
社会与文化问题
More than 626,000 people were affected by the hurricane, and families in hard-hit places such as Black River are still rebuilding. Murders fell by about 43% between 2024 and 2025, but violence still grieves many communities. An independent review found that Kingston Public Hospital has only about a fifth of the space it needs.
我们为以下事项祷告： 和好、和平，以及对弱势者的保护.
属灵景况
About two in three Jamaicans belong to Christian churches, according to the 2011 census, the latest available. The largest groups are the Church of God, Seventh-day Adventists, Pentecostals and Baptists, and about one in five people have no affiliation. Rastafarians, Revivalists, Muslims, Jews and others are also present.
我们为以下事项祷告： 属灵的苏醒、盼望和真理的传扬.
宗教自由
The constitution protects freedom of religion, including the right to change one's faith, according to the US State Department. A colonial-era law against Obeah remains in force but is not enforced. In 2023 the government removed a school rule requiring Rastafarian students to cover their locs, and it continues to compensate victims of the 1963 Coral Gardens incident.
我们为以下事项祷告： 保护信徒，使他们能安全自由地敬拜.
历史的创伤
England took Jamaica in 1655, and enslaved Africans were forced to work its plantations. Tacky's Revolt in 1760 and the 1831 Christmas Rebellion led by Samuel Sharpe were crushed, and slavery ended between 1834 and 1838. The Morant Bay rebellion of 1865 left further wounds before independence in 1962.
我们为以下事项祷告： 国家的医治、打破旧有的循环和深层的饶恕.
让我们一起祷告
Our Father, we come to You together for Jamaica. Comfort every family still rebuilding after Hurricane Melissa, and put a safe roof over every head. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to the Prime Minister and all in authority. Provide work and fair wages, and let the rebuilding be honest and strong. Protect the vulnerable, bring peace to troubled communities, and heal the sick. Stir hope in every church and draw many to Yourself, and keep every believer free to worship. Heal the deep wounds of slavery and injustice, and lead Jamaica in forgiveness and freedom. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
