What An Anniversary!

 ITNAC is giving thanks for celebrating twenty (20) years as an Organisation. Had not been for God's grace, mercy, and favor, we would not have been able to make it to our twentieth Anniversary. In the spirit of giving thanks, Global Revival Ministries blessed us with a 25-seater bus!

In celebration of our two decades milestone, we had a ton of events. Our thanksgiving service was our first event. It was packed with lots of people who would have contributed to ITNAC in one way or the other. We had Ex-Minister Fazel Karim, Minster Donna Cox, and a few others. It was a lovely evening, to say the least. One of my highlights for that evening was when Ms. Avonelle Hector Joseph's wig fell off her head while speaking to the audience at the front of the stage. I gave her a standing ovation because I couldn't believe my eyes!!! The crowd went wild and people could not contain their laughter. It's safe to say that I was one of them... Moving along from the humor; Mainly partners and donors received a token of recognition for their contributions to the Organisation.

Team members & Donors

The following week, was the cocktail and finger foods event. It was very relaxing. There was also a dinner mainly to recognize team members which was hosted by AP Toussaint, at her location in Santa Rosa. Although there wasn't any Air Condition in the building and I was sweating profusely, the place looked Splendid. Not to mention, the food was Amazing. Ms. Toussaint mentioned the cost to have the AC Units installed which was $20, 000.00. ITNAC pledged $2,000.00 and that very night a Donor paid it on ITNAC's behalf!

Sailing for the Cause was our boat cruise event which was in aid of raising funds for the Keisha Telicia Edwards City Outreach Project. In the lead-up to the cruise, we had some promotional content along with a few gospel artists. I was able to share my involvement & experience with ITNAC on our social media platforms. 

The boat cruise came and it started off rough. Apparently, there was a mix-up with communication regarding the selling of food on board the vessel and if it hadn't been rectified, the boat would not have sailed... But Thankfully it was sorted out and we were able to sail. It was far later than we were supposed to, but we pressed... The after-lime was really good. We ended up going to one of our locations (The Space) and spent the balance of the night there, enjoying ourselves.

Ministry In Tobago

We did not forget Tobago! Our love caravan was able to bless two Communities. They received hampers, clothing, hotdogs, hamburgers, and most importantly the good news of Christ! The children even got to have fun in the bouncy castle! We partnered with the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Lowlands and the community of Calder Hall. Is There Not A Cause were able to visit a few churches, Calvary Road Deliverance Tabernacle (Bon Accord), Mt. Grace Open Bible, and the Redeemed Christian church of God. We also had a thanksgiving service ( Tobago edition) and it was lovely.

Team ITNAC is hard at work!

The team got many opportunities to enjoy a few beaches in our spare time. I came back with a serious tan, but the experience was well worth it.

I want to encourage you to have a heart of gratitude in every circumstance and may the scripture below bring encouragement as it has done for me.

"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1Thessalonians 5:18 NLT)
