🙌🏾 MINISTRY AT MARANATHA - ARIMA

Yesterday Sunday 23rd February we were able to keep our appointment to minister at Maranatha Gospel Hall, Arima.  We also had the pleasure to fellowship with Kyle Nicholson from Bethel Gospel Hall in Antigua who accompanied us there.

The saints were encouraged to give God the preeminence .  They were also ministered to on a biblical principle of youth development. 

The believers indicated that the message was well received and many indicated their willingness to apply the expounded principles. 

Glory to God.

🙌🏾 DISTRIBUTION OF MILITARY EDITION OF THE DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL

This week, (due to my voluntary appointment of Chaplain in the Trinidad and Tobago Cadet Force) we had the opportunity to deliver 363 devotional books to over 15 units of the TTCF.   

Glory to God for the keen interest shown in receiving the devotional books. 

🙌🏾  CELEBRATING "25"

Thank God for His grace... Not linking the day with the date I accepted several appointments on Tuesday past, which would have taken me from morning, well into the night.  As I announced my plans to Lydia I noticed that they were not received with the usual interest (to put it lightly), nevertheless she did not object. 

It seemed so strange that every assignment I had for the day was cancelled.  It was only after the 5th assignment or so was miraculously cancelled by the folks with whom I had the appointments I caught on that God was delivering me from myself.  It then dawned on me that this was TUESDAY 11TH FEBRUARY our 25th Anniversary 😲    

Glory to God!  I was able to quickly 'change step' and redeemed the time, in time. 

Brunch (The plantain made the difference) 

We just ran away for the day...

🙌🏾 LYDIA's BIRTHDAY

Today we give God the Glory for taking Lydia to another birthdate.  She has no problem openly proclaiming "THANK GOD for bringing her through 58 years."  The journey was challenging at times. Among the more notable challenges was her battle with cancer which God brought her through.

She now plays a critical role in our ministry whilst caring for our family...  Glory to God.

Please also pray toward her overall success and God's provision for her summer courses.

🙏🏾  THE FLU GOT ME

No not the Asian stuff ... 😷 ... But it pretty much clipped my wings and gave me what was probably a God-forced rest.  So I was not involved in much this past week.  It even affected my assignment at Ebenezer this morning.  Please remember me in your prayer. 

🙏🏾  REUBEN

It seems as though Reuben has reached a juncture in his life and he has made some commitments.   Please remember him in your prayer that God would see him through the actions consistent with his commitment.
