Prayer Breakfast For the Virgin Islands

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 on Wednesday, November 18, in St. Croix for a special Prayer Breakfast for the Virgin Islands, featuring Pastor Marc T. Little as our honored guest 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 families, our communities, and the future of the Virgin Islands.

Why Are We Gathering?

The Virgin Islands are blessed with extraordinary people, beautiful islands, rich culture, and enormous potential. But we also face challenges that touch every community—from the well-being of our children and families to public safety, education, economic opportunity, homelessness, and the need for stronger communities.

RAP believes that addressing these challenges requires more than policies, programs, and resources. It requires people who are willing to come together, serve one another, and seek wisdom and 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 neighborhoods, and those entrusted with serving our communities.

We will pray for peace in our neighborhoods, strength in our families, wisdom for 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 the strength that comes when we choose unity over division, service over self-interest, and hope over discouragement.

A Gathering for Everyone

This is a nonpartisan community event. We are inviting elected officials, community leaders, pastors and church leaders, business leaders, educators, families, and concerned citizens from throughout the Virgin Islands.

You do not have to hold a particular political position or belong to a particular organization to participate.

This is about the Virgin Islands.

It is about coming together as neighbors, parents, grandparents, leaders, servants, and citizens to acknowledge our challenges, celebrate our blessings, and seek God's guidance for the future of our islands. It is an opportunity for our community to put differences aside and come together in faith, fellowship, and prayer.

A Morning of Faith, Fellowship & Hope

We are honored to have Pastor Marc T. Little serve as our guest host, joined by Pastor Dexter Skepple and Pastor Mathias Clavier as local co-hosts. Together, they will help lead a meaningful morning of prayer, inspiration, fellowship, and reflection as we gather with leaders and citizens from throughout the community.

We want this gathering to remind us of something important:

The future of the Virgin Islands belongs to all of us.

And while we may not agree on everything, we can still agree that our children deserve hope, our families deserve support, our communities deserve peace, and our islands deserve a future filled with opportunity and promise.

Let us come together.
Let us pray together.
Let us believe together.
And let us work together for the Virgin Islands we want to leave for the next generation.
