MEETING OF WEDNESDAY 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0JULY 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday\u2019s Cabinet Meeting was chaired by Prime Minister the Honourable Gaston Browne<\/strong>.  The Prayers before Cabinet was led by a Pentecostal Pastor who read from Mark 4: 37-39 which speaks about Jesus calming the storm.  The Pastor identified three points, namely: Storms may appear \u2013 even in obedience; God is present \u2013 even when silent and that God has authority over every storm.  The pastor prayed for members of the cabinet to be granted wisdom as they lead, courage to act, and Faith to trust in God in very storm.<\/p>
