Sint Maarten
Sint Maarten is the Dutch southern half of the island of Saint Martin, shared with France. It has a high standard of living, and an economy dependent on attracting tourists to its beaches, casinos, and nightclubs. Unsurprisingly, this creates serious challenges for the spiritual vibrancy of a population that is 82% Christian. Pray for a spiritual awakening!
