Greetings from the field,

We are so thankful to be back on the field. On January 15th we landed in San Juan Puerto Rico . The week after we landed in Port of Spain, Trinidad. We are so thankful we can work on both of these islands. Everywhere we have been in the past few weeks we realize there is still a great harvest and it is with joy we begin our 7th term.

What is Happening

-In past couple of weeks 6 were baptized in Trinidad.

-Concrete foundation has been poured for extension of church in Tobago.

-Looking for the right place to plant first new church in Puerto Rico.




We will declare His Name

It is a joy to be able to share Jesus . Your faithful prayers and giving make it possible. Thank you for your partnership. We appreciate you.
