Bahamas
Summary
Lucayan Indians inhabited the islands when Christopher COLUMBUS first set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas has prospered through tourism, international banking, and investment management. Because of its location, the country is a major transshipment point for illegal drugs, particularly shipments to the US and Europe, and its territory is used for smuggling illegal migrants into the US.

Prayer Guide
There is a growing Haitian Diaspora who are resented by Bahamians. Pray for God to enable the Bahamian Church to minister meaningfully to this needy group in their midst. [3]
