Possible missions trip to Trinidad in January ‘07 — please pray

June 28, 2006 · 5 Comments

td-lgflag.gifGod has placed a huge burden on my heart for the country of Trinidad and Tobago.  I believe that God has opened a great door for our church to do some construction work at the Mount Beulah Evangelical Baptist Church in Point Fortin from 23-31 January 2007.  The team will be called COMET 2007 (Christians On-Mission Engaging Trinidad).  Plus, I have been asked to do a Family Life Conference down there as well.

I’m asking you to pray for the following:

  • Six people have already committed to go.  Please pray that God would raise the finances necessary:  Approx. $750 for plane tickets, plus another $100 for extra money for emergencies. (I must say, God has already provided the finances for three of the six to go — He’s already at work!)
  • We are planning on tiling the church sanctuary, which we estimate will cost around $3000-3500.  Please pray that somehow, someway God will provide those finances.
  • That hearts and lives would be changed by God’s sovereign grace — both in Trinidad and even some of our own guys.  Who knows what God might do through them?

I covet your prayers, but if you are able to help with our finances, please send whatever help you can to:

Boone’s Creek Baptist Church
ATTN:  COMET 2007
185 N. Cleveland Rd.
Lexington, KY 40509

Thank you and may God bless you!

    Isn’t it true that the IMB no longer sends full time missionaries to T and T any longer?

    DS:

    I applied to go to Trinidad and Tobago specifically back in 1999 or 2000, and they said that since over 25% of the country is now “evangelized,” they can as nationals begin doing the work themselves. Missionaries do come, but not nearly enough. Sadly, though, many of the pastors need great help in being trained to lead their congregations. I personally see the need, even if the IMB does not.
