Introduction to the Dominican Republic:

The Dominican Republic, occupying the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean, is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and beautiful beaches. Despite being one of the region's more economically robust nations, it faces challenges such as social inequality, corruption, and issues related to immigration, particularly from neighboring Haiti. The country has a strong Christian presence, with the majority identifying as Roman Catholic and a growing number of evangelical Christians. This prayer guide aims to help Christians globally to pray effectively for the Dominican Republic, focusing on social justice, spiritual growth, and harmony within the community.
