I talked with Pastor Wood this morning and we have settled on their church being our first work with GO Caribbean. The dates are September 6-13. The team is set with Thomas and Linda, Billy and Beth, and Charlie and Sandy.
Emmanuel Baptist is the largest Baptist church on the island and Pastor Wood is the only full-time Baptist pastor. We look forward to working with him and the people of his church. It is going to be exciting as we partner to sow the Gospel in their neighborhoods.
We are struggling with the increased cost of airfares and hope this will not deter many people. We have actually got enough interest to man the first three teams.
As you pray for GO Caribbean, if you feel led to be a part of our work, let me know and I can answer your questions.
Pray for revival in Barbados!

The Beginning!
GO Caribbean is a project designed to saturate the Caribbean Islands with prayer and place the Gospel of John and other evangelistic materials in every household. We call it Gospel Saturation or GO Outreach and will begin first on the island of Barbados. It is an effort to help Bajans understand that salvation is in Jesus alone. Our plan is to begin in Barbados with volunteer teams from Heritage Hills Baptist Church and teams from all over the United States to partner with Bajan Baptist Believers. Together, these teams Prayer Walk and go door to door to distribute the Gospel. Following each project, Bible studies will begin in the area so new believers can be mentored and discipled. We will also seek to identify “Men of Peace.” These are individuals who become Christians, or request Bible studies or visits...More
Each team will consist of 6-7 members with one serving as the Team Leader. To become a Team Leader, you must first be part of a team in order to get the training necessary as well as being familiar with the island.
Each Team Leader will be responsible for making all airfare arrangements, travel insurance, and will train all members of the team using the Manual For Go Caribbean Volunteers.
Plans are already in action to have our first 3 GO teams go to Barbados beginning September 6. Each team will arrive Barbados on Saturday and depart the following Saturday.
Pray that God would direct us and that we will follow His plan for GO Caribbean. We are trusting God to fulfill His promise related to the harvest field. There are people out there who are ready to receive the gospel. We are asking that God will use us to draw them to Him.
