The Cayman Islands are a British territory, and therefore we do not have a "country" of the day. I skipped them, and went on to the Central African Republic, and then realized: I couldn't skip a group of people just because their political label is "territory" instead of "country." After all, we are called to pray for the whole world, not just the ones that are official nations.
This group of islands is located in the Caribbean sea, nearest to Cuba and Jamaica. The group of islands has a total population of 50, 209. Out of this number, just under 75% are Christians. While this is a ridiculously high number, it is also coming out of a small total population. The islands are relatively lacking in disease and sickness, as CIA World Fact book doesn't even report anything worth note. As far as money needs, the Cayman Islands are pretty well off: they enjoy some of the highest outputs per capita and one of the highest standards of living in the world (World Fact Book).
Let's pray for this well-off group of people to be focused on God, not on physical worries and desires. Pray that they come to a realization of the greatness of God, and that they are led to take the Gospel to the remaining 25% of their territory that doesn't know Jesus.
