A new direction

 A lot has happened since I last came here. To begin, I was commissioned by my church as a full-time missionary. It was a major step for me seeing that I was already serving in missions on a part-time basis for the past (4) four years.

I am currently serving full-time with Is There Not A Cause (ITNAC). A local non-profit organization that is based in Trinidad & Tobago. I am the Manager of their thrift store and also Manages their newly purchased building in St James. I have been full-time with ITNAC for about eight months now. I want to say thank you to all those who have supported and have continued to support me along this journey.

The day I was commissioned!

ITNAC has completed all their payments to the bank for their newest building in St James! We have been very diligent at raising funds to purchase this property. Our next project is "The City Outreach Project". Which is in the city of Port-of-Spain, Jackson place, east dry river to be exact. We have a balance of  Fifty thousand dollars ($50, 000) to complete the payment for this land. It will have amenities such as, a bathroom, a shower, and a kitchen. It will also be a place where people can receive meals, counseling and clothing.We will also have a food truck which would be our mobile soup kitchen. The cost of the food truck is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000). The soup kitchen will also be apart of our City Outreach Project, where we would be able to reach various communities across the country.

It's a good day to paint

Painting the thrift store 

Is There Not A Cause (ITNAC) partnered with the U.S Embassy Port-of-Spain staff, in commemoration of Martin Luther King Day to commence phase one of our Transitional house. They painted the external walls of the building and did an excellent job of painting it. ITNAC also won, one of  Digicel's foundations "Better Together Christmas Initiative", where we were able to do some renovations on our thrift store from the funds that we obtained from that Initiative. An entrance and exit door were created and another bathroom was added to the building. 

Representing ITNAC @ CEBC Missions Month

ITNAC was invited by Chaguanas Evangelical Bible Church to share for their Missions month.
We were able to share about the work that ITNAC has done and all of our upcoming projects.

Last month over twelve persons (12) dedicated their lives to Christ through water baptism and I was blessed to witness it. Indeed it was a day of rejoicing.

 Just leaving these words of encouragement for all those who are going through a tough time right now. Be of good cheer and don't lose hope. The best is yet to come in Christ Jesus.
