21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting for VI begins today July 11, 2021
This announcement was made during a live statement by Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) on July 9, 2021, titled, “Let’s Bring the COVID-19 Situation Back Under Control.”
'We will win this battle'- Premier
The 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting will commence today, Sunday, July 11, 2021, and will run from 5:00 am to 5:00 pm daily for 21 consecutive days.
Premier Fahie stated, “Choose your own time in the day and individually or collectively petition GOD to continue to keep us all safe and protected from the plans of the enemy. We will win this battle. I look forward to our people coming together, praying together, and believing in GOD together, as we once again watch GOD work.”
Inspiration from holy scriptures of Daniel
According to Government Information Service (GIS), the Premier commented this morning that the 21-day Prayer and Fast is inspired by Holy Scriptures of Daniel and additionally as words written in Ezra 8:21-23 which states, …I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions….So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.”
“I am asking persons to send up the praise and prayers to Abba, our Father. Our ancestors always took refuge in the Hands of GOD and they saw victory prevail. Let us keep each other safe. Let us make sure that we focus our efforts on building up each other. Let us focus on making sure that our economy is strengthened and not weakened. Let us continue to unite in our love for these Virgin Islands. Let us all do our part to save our Virgin Islands and to restore and preserve our way of life. Let us each do everything that is in our power to keep our people and our shores safe, in BVILOVE. We’re in this together.”
Daily scriptures and encouragement will be shared on the Government of the Virgin Islands website www.bvi.gov.vg, and official social media pages: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube @BVIGovernment.

They would not even suspend the coi in the mist of the covid numbers you think prayer can help us?
It is the best decision ever. The person who made that negative comment against prayer needs prayer also. Prayer and fasting worked back in bible days and is still powerful today. It was Jesus' method. When his disciples asked how he was able to work miracles, He said "these come only by prayer and fasting". Let us humble ourselves and pray. Let us say daily "create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me". There's nothing too hard for our God Jehovah. "He is able to do exceedingly and abundandtly Above ALL that we believe or think". His Word is Powerful. Let us pray, believe and claim them. Then they're some who will always claim that God does not exist. To them the Word of God declares boldly: "the Fool has said in his heart there is no god!"
Don't y'all think you gotta do what's necessary to maintain a good and healthy immune system as much as possible
Idk what y'all think
Unbelievable response from a government in the 21st century. Even the mad mullahs aren’t that crazy.

What factors can depress our immune system?
Older age: As we age, our internal organs may become less efficient; immune-related organs like the thymus or bone marrow produce less immune cells needed to fight off infections. Aging is sometimes associated with micronutrient deficiencies, which may worsen a declining immune function.
Environmental toxins (smoke and other particles contributing to air pollution, excessive alcohol): These substances can impair or suppress the normal activity of immune cells.
Excess weight: Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Fat tissue produces adipocytokines that can promote inflammatory processes. [1] Research is early, but obesity has also been identified as an independent risk factor for the influenza virus, possibly due to the impaired function of T-cells, a type of white blood cell. [2]
Poor diet: Malnutrition or a diet lacking in one or more nutrients can impair the production and activity of immune cells and antibodies.
Chronic diseases: Autoimmune and immunodeficiency disorders attack and potentially disable immune cells.
Chronic mental stress: Stress releases hormones like cortisol that suppresses inflammation (inflammation is initially needed to activate immune cells) and the action of white blood cells.
Lack of sleep and rest: Sleep is a time of restoration for the body, during which a type of cytokine is released that fights infection; too little sleep lowers the amount of these cytokines and other immune cells.

I believe that the reason you expressed that view, is because you somehow seem to believe that there is a black god and a white god; but please note that there is One God...and he who worships God (The Creator and Father), are to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Lots of you so called Christians are starched, ironed but not washed.
People are very sick on this island but it's not from covid.

Take the vaccine guys the proof is in the pudding.
USVI low case numbers 40+% vaccinated. BVI explosion extremely low vaccination.
God is not some genie who just magically wiffs things away. God help those who help themselves.
I can only hope now that death rate does increase in the next 4weeks.
• some farmer grants apparently were inflated by the Premier’s Office to be greater than requested, with one applicant receiving more than $13,000 after requesting $50.99 for a roll of barbed wire and $371 to build a fence;
• 11 of 22 purported farms selected for site visits could not be located;
• about half the farmer grant recipients weren’t registered as farmers at the Department of Agriculture;
• more than half the fisher grant recipients weren’t registered in government’s database, and more was paid to unlicensed fishers than licensed ones;
• in at least one instance, three people received fisher grants for the same boat; and
• ultimately, the Premier’s Office failed to use Cabinet procedures for implementing and monitoring the stimulus, and millions in public money were disbursed without sufficient oversight.
