Trinidad & Tobago
It was wonderful for us to spend the mid-winter break with the brethren in Trinidad and Tobago.
Read Time: 1 minute
The first stop was Mt. Grace, Tobago, where Bro. Angelo delivered the words of exhortation. Tobago has a fifteen-minute radio program on two Sundays per month and a half-hour TV prime-time program four times monthly.
Coming across to Trinidad, we stayed at the same location where the Caribbean Camp was held. The managers were delighted to have us and are also quite happy to provide one of their lecture halls for the Arima Ecclesia to have their weekly meetings.
We then drove south to Point Fortin and had a wonderful lunch with Bro. Roland and Sis. Sonai Dhaniram and their two girls, Rebecca and Isabella. The next stop was the Erin Ecclesia, where Bro. Sheriff gave us a tour of the aging building that needs much repair. His grandson, Simeon, also showed us their outback campsite and said he looks forward to having another camp there.
The climax of our visit was the baptisms of Azariah and Josiah, the two sons of Bro. Anil and Sis. Janelle Gobin. We met at 8:45 AM at the Flower Pot Beach. Bro. Sam delivered the baptismal talk, and after the immersion, it was a short drive to the Marabella Ecclesia. The three Trinidad ecclesias came together for the Sunday.
After the breaking of bread, a thanksgiving service was sponsored by the Gobin family, with a variety of foods prepared by Sis. Janelle’s mom. There was even ice cream for kids of all ages. Seeing our brothers, sisters, and young people again was quite a privilege.
God willing, a preaching campaign is being planned for August 4-7, immediately following the annual Bible School, which is scheduled for July 31-August 3. The plan is to use the campsite for the school and the preaching campaign, for which they are hoping to get some preaching materials, such as colorful booklets and a poster-sized likeness of Daniel’s Image.
