Willemstad, Curacao

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Willemstad.

  1. Located in Willemstad, Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue opened in 1674, and is the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas. This photo is the cabinet where the Scripture is kept. Directly behind where the photographer stood in this view is a smaller platform where the person explaining the Scripture would be. Wooden pews line both sides of the synagogue, where the men and women would be seated separately. The layout of everything is the same as it was when Christ taught in a synagogue in Luke 4. An interesting feature about the above picture is that the floor is sand. The name of this synagogue includes the name Emanuel…God with us. Pray that the hearts of many who come there will be opened to Emanuel’s message.
  2. Pray for visitors to the Curacao Ostrich Farm near Willemstad to see something there that points them to the Lord.
  3. According to britannica.com, the two white stars on Curacao’s flag symbolize peace and happiness. Pray for someone in Willemstad to find true peace and happiness in Jesus today.
