It's Hurricane Season...and time to go to Barbados!

The days are counting down as we make final preparations for our GO Caribbean Gospel Saturation mission trip to Barbados. The first team will partner with Emmanuel Baptist Church September 6-13. Those members are: Thomas and Linda, Billy and Beth, Clarence and Marie. We will be staying in the mission house on the Barbados Baptist College and Training Centre campus. It is within walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean and sits in the middle of sugar cane and cotton fields. When we were in Barbados last March, they were harvesting both cotton and sugar cane. Because the weather remains constant year round, they have more than one harvest. We saw banana plantations and beautiful blue ocean coasts.

The second team will partner with Peoples Baptist Church September 13-20. Those members are: Clarence and Marie, Gene and Kay, Jason and Toni. When we were there in March, they were completing renovation to the worship center and it was looking great.

Our desire is to plant the seed of the Gospel. We will go door-to-door meeting the people and leaving packets about the church. We will also give everyone a Gospel of John and depend on God's promise, "My Word will not return empty." Our desire is to have opportunity to share the Gospel and see people trust Christ as Savior!
