North America / Caribbean
Unsung Heroes of the Caribbean
In the Caribbean, we are blessed with warm sunshine, beautiful beaches and serene mountainsides, and our people reflect those qualities. At church, the fellowship is vibrant and the saints enjoy each others company as we share God's word with passion and love. These blessings sometimes over shadow the daily challenges we face as we strive to help grow God's church. There maybe many things we are not priviledged to have, but without a doubt, we have experienced God's favor through brothers and sisters who constantly keep the Caribbean close to their hearts.
