!st January 2012 Pray for New Caledonia Population: 253,743 Religion : 80% Christian Challenges for Prayer The indigenous Melanesian Kanaks were marginalized by the French during the repressive colonial period. The 1998 accord attempts to bring them into full equality in the economic, legal and political life of the nation while respecting their unique culture. Pray that this transition may be healing, peaceful and fair. The inequality in society is illustrated not only economically but also by lifestyle. Sadly, too many Kanaks and immigrants from Wallis and Futuna struggle with poor living conditions, substance abuse and domestic violence. Pray for ministry that will help lift these addictions and replace them with a full and vibrant life in Christ. The mainland is divided in length by a central mountain range whose highest peak are Mount Panié (1629 m) in the north and Mount Humboldt (1618 m) in the southeast. The east coast is covered by a lush vegetation. The west coast, with its large savannahs and plains suitable for farming, is a drier area. Many ore-rich massifs are found along this coast.
