A Call Back to God: Leaders Urge Moral Revival in Barbados

Barbados is being urged to return to its moral and spiritual foundation as community and religious leaders rally behind a new national campaign.

Founder of the Prayer Warriors International, Courtney Selman, says the nation is at a crossroads, with children becoming increasingly disrespectful and society losing its moral compass. His organisation has launched an initiative that places the Ten Commandments front and centre—literally printed on jerseys for Barbadians to wear every Friday.

“The jerseys are a reminder that we can live by values that unite us,” Selman explained. “Our children are becoming disrespectful, families are struggling, and we need to return to the values that once held us together. This is one way to pave a better path for Barbados.”

The project, which officially launches on November 7th, is calling for support from government agencies, schools, churches, and businesses to make it a national movement.

Adding his voice to the campaign, Reverend Patrick Tannis described it as a moment for deep reflection.

“This is more than a campaign. It is a wake-up call,” Rev. Tannis said. “Barbados must get back to God if we are serious about building a better society. Without Him at the centre, we will continue to struggle.”

Both men agree that the campaign is not just about wearing jerseys, but about sparking a cultural shift—a collective decision to restore discipline, respect, and spiritual grounding to everyday life.

The Prayer Warriors hope that every Friday, Barbadians will make a visible statement of unity by wearing the Ten Commandments jerseys, igniting what they believe can be a national moral revival.
