THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 BREAKING OF BREAD AT OLIVET GOSPEL HALL

On Sun 22nd March we were able to remember the Lord in His death, burial and resurrection, within the parameters of the law.  

We fellowshipped with just ten (10 ) believers.

We praise God for the opportunity.

🙌🏾  REST AND REFLECTION

This week God enabled us to rest and reflect as we think "outside our box" as to how God would have us proceed.

Glory to God!

🙌🏾  ONLINE INTERACTION

We thank God for the hundreds of people we were able to interact with electronically as we prayed and ministered on WhatsApp this past week. Not only did we give encouragement but received a plethora of encouraging sentiments that really blessed our hearts.

PRAYER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

 🙏🏾 RAE-ANN 

Rae-Ann began online classes this week.  Please remember her in prayer. 

🙏🏾 PRAYER FOR OUR ASSEMBLIES

Please remember our assemblies as some continue to meet within the specified numbers for fellowship and broadcast of meetings.   

Pray:

• That we would operate in such a way as to not have our good evil spoken of.
• That we would be disciplined enough to hold strictly to health protocols 
• That we will not temp the Lord our God (Matt 4:7)
• That we will not feed this Giant but in God's strength we will do what it takes to defeat it. 
• That we will not operate from a platform of panic and fear. 
• That we will operate within ALL given parameters whilst maintaining a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. 
• That we maintain a culture of prayer rather than anxiety. 
• That saints will remember that God is REAL and He is really able to keep and protect. 
• That we will trust God completely and regardless.

🙏🏾 THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS AMONG US

Please remember the health workers and others who perform essential services among our believers.

 🙏🏾 THE NON-ESSENTIAL WORK STAFF

Please remember those who do not perform essential duties and are being made to continue to face unnecessary risks at their work places.

🙏🏾 THOSE WHO ARE AT RISK

Please remember those who are still taking IRRESPONSIBLE RISKS with the consequences of SIN.   Those who consider the gospel a joke and cannot see that sin is by far, much more devastating than any other virus. 

🙏🏾 CONTINUING ELECTRONIC MINISTRY

Remember our online operations as we continue to reach the youth of the Caribbean and elsewhere.

PRAYER UPDATE 16th March 2020

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 MINISTRY AT BETHESDA GOSPEL HALL

On Sun 15th March we had the awesome privilege of fellowship at Bethesda Gospel Hall.  Due to the situation with the virus the assembly after prayerful consideration made several adjustments.  These included but were not limited to; no aged believers present, (which brought the attendance down to 18 believers), the hall and entire congregation were sanitized, the AC was turned off, the emblems were prepared under the usual and extra sanitary conditions, separate cups were used (as usual), the loaf was pre-cut and served with a disposable fork, there was one morning meeting with no other services for the week, social distancing was evident and no physical contact was made.  This was done *"not out of fear but out of care".  They will have discussions as to their operations going forward.   Well done Bethesda!  Glory to God!

God's word had its free course, we trusted that God would be glorified as the impact of prayer was evident.  The saints were encouraged to love God effectively which includes loving and caring for others.

(*Quotation by Bro Lawrence Haggard)

 Presenting the word
-

 Happy Birthday Pastor Kirk.  any further and that envelope would have had to be emailed...

Glory to God for enabling the proclamation of His word.

🙌🏾  SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY

This week I acknowledged my spiritual birthday.  It was around 2045hrs on Monday 10th March 1975 that I made a commitment to God.  

Led by Bro. Dalma Edwards (dec.) from Antigua I confessed with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believed in my hear that God raised Him from the dead.

Glory to God!


🙌🏾  DOORS TO MINISTRY OPENED

• Ministry at La Brea

On Wednesday 11th March we presented our selves and ministered in La Brea. We accepted a new ministry assignment to minister at Majuba Gospel Hall every second Wednesday (God willing).

We had a lively discussion on the development and maintenance of our personal relationship with God which was well received.

Glory to God!

🙌🏾  OPEN AIR MEETINGS

We had three days of open air meetings ending on Thursday 12th March when we sought to challenge the residents to recognize and evade the deadliest virus known to mankind.  

Apart from giving clear guidelines as to how to evade the dreaded Covid-19, we highlighted the death rate of SIN in 2020 and encouraged all to commit to God for deliverance the pandemic of SIN.

Glory to God!

 🙏🏾 GLORY TO GOD FOR THE MEASURE OF RECOVERY OF BROTHER VICTOR GILL (HILLCREAST)

PRAYER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

 🙏🏾 RAE-ANN 

The citizens of Teaneck, where Rae is, were directed to self quarantine due to the relatively large number of people in the town who tested positive for the virus. 

They have also been advised to stay at home between 8pm and 5am.

Rae's school is currently on an extended spring break and there has been talk of online classes.

While there is no need to be panicked and over hyped, at the home in which she is staying there is need for special caution.    

So please remember this in prayer 

🙏🏾 PRAYER FOR AND SERVICE TO THE ELDERLY

Please remember our elderly in your prayer.  Let us also see what we can do to serve them and their dependents during this time.

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 TTCF CHURCH PARADE - St Paul's San Fernando

As a Chaplain in the Trinidad and Tobago Cadet Force, Church Parade is one of my responsibilities.  We attended St. Paul's Anglican Church Sunday 8th March where I had the responsibility of delivering the sermon.  

The response exceeded my expectation, as I am certain seeds were planted while hundreds of Cadets, along with adults and VIP's were ministered to.  Captain Burke, in a public relations article summarized as follows:

"Evangelist Major Rodney Brown, one of the TTCF's chaplains, delivered a stirring message yesterday at our Church Parade. According to Major Brown, while the world is alarmed at the spread of COVID-19, there is a more dangerous 'virus' to be concerned about. He went on to describe "Severe Internecine Narcosis" - otherwise known as S.I.N."

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 MINISTRY AT EBENEZER - TRINIDAD

Sunday 1st March we were blessed with the privilege to minister to the congregation at Ebenezer Gospel Hall, Trinidad.  Accompanying us this week were two of our adopted daughters, Roéka Burke from Mesopotamia Gospel Hall in St Vincent and Janelle Green from Grace and Truth in Barbados.

We had an interesting discourse on God's love language which sparked a lot of discussion after the meeting. 

The Davids from the USA were in attendance at their final service for this visit.  They were the subject of much prayer after the service and an informal reception which followed.

 Going to Zi-Ann for the answer ... She said: "Spending time with God is showing God love!" 

 Special prayer for the Davids 

Roéka and Janelle were there

The growing congregation

Glory to God for the fellowship at Ebenezer this morning.

🙌🏾 RAE-ANN'S PROGRESS 

Rae-Ann was notified that she officially met the requirements to join the official Honor Society for Community Colleges. Membership is a special honor afforded exclusively to the most outstanding students. Members of the Society gain access to various benefits including scholarship opportunities.

Only the top 5% of the students at her school receive an invitation to join the organization and it is the highest Honors distinction at the college.

Give God the Glory! 

God has again miraculously provided school fees for Rae-Ann's summer courses which will enable her to be where she needs to be academically so that she can graduate on time. 

Praise the name of Jesus... Your prayers are being answered!  

🙌🏾  REUBEN 

We continue to thank God for Reuben's steps in the right direction.  

Glory to God

We also praise God in advance while we continue to pray that God would clearly show him how his increasing skills in sound engineering can be used for His Glory.

🙌🏾  DOORS TO MINISTRY OPENED

• Opportunities to minister and comfort

The opportunities to bring comfort to bereaved families have arisen again.  God continues to give liberty through funeral services for His word to be proclaimed.  Saturday was one such occasion.  On Wednesday 4th March, God willing is another.

Glory to God!  

• Camp Workers' training 

We continue to glorify God who continues to foster ministry generating relationships.  On Saturday afternoon I again had the opportunity to facilitate a training session for camp worker at the Anglican church.  This has the potential to pave the way for further ministry.

Glory to God! 

🙌🏾  TRAINING FOR PASTOR TRAINERS

I was granted gracious favour through 'Langham Preaching' to attend the Global Proclamation Congress for Trainers of Pastors of Latin America & the Caribbean in Panama in October of this year.  

Praise God for this opportunity to serve.
