“For God so loved [the people of Dominica] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island country in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean Sea. Guadeloupe and Martinique are neighboring islands. Dominica has a population of 72,000, making it one of the smallest independent states in the world. Its capital and largest city is Roseau.
Dominica’s official language is English. The island is rich in natural beauty. The national motto is: “After God is the earth.” Today we pray that every Dominican will set his heart on the homeland whose beauty is never spoiled by sin or death: “We have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you” (1 Pet. 1:3-4).
