The Bahamas are a string of 700 tiny islands stretching between Florida and Cuba in the North Atlantic Ocean.

In 1973 the Bahamas gained independence, ending the domination of the white elite and bring blacks into the political process for the first time.

The Bahamas is a major centre for drug trafficking and dealing with dirty money, but since the '80s things have got better.

Nearly a third of the population are bible-believing Christians, but most are not really commited to church. Pray these communities would grow in their love for each other and the lost.
