On January 30, 2026, the University of the Southern Caribbean began its Week of Prayer under the theme SHIFT: Soaring Higher in Faith and Transformation. The week featured international evangelist Pastor Jovan Whyte, who guided the campus through a series of inspiring messages focused on faith, purpose, and personal growth.
Students, faculty, and staff gathered in person and online each day to worship and reflect together. One of the most meaningful aspects of the week was the strong collaboration across campus. Each day was hosted by different schools of the university, along with the Ladies Residence Hall and the VINADA Club who celebrated 52 years of Independence for Grenada.
Pastor Whyte’s messages centered on the idea of running your own race and trusting God’s plan for your life. His presentations connected deeply with the realities students face such as academic pressure, uncertainty about the future, and the challenge of comparing themselves to others. He reminded the campus community that God calls each person to a unique path and that growth often happens through patience and consistency.
Several key lessons resonated throughout the services:
Week of Prayer continues to be a special time at USC that allows the campus to pause, reconnect with God, and encourage one another. The messages shared throughout the week left students inspired to move forward with renewed faith and purpose. As the semester continues, the call remains clear for the USC community to stay focused, stay faithful, and keep shifting higher in faith and transformation.
