One of the 2014 Truth Corps stops was at the ecclesia in Mt. Grace, Tobago. It was the final week of the four week tour and you might expect that the team would be getting a bit weary after spending three weeks on the road; two weeks in Guyana and one week in Norfolk, Virginia. To the contrary, the team was still going strong as they began their work in Trinidad and Tobago. continue reading

Monthly meetings, numerous emails, many phone calls, sewing backpacks in the basement, and collecting supplies from the Christadelphian Save the Children Fund (CSTCF) in London Ontario for classes were just a few of the planning steps. continue reading

Preaching is always a challenge! Even after many years’ experience it is still a challenge! In the Caribbean country of St. Lucia, Brothers and Sisters have been presenting the gospel for fifteen years. There have been countless discussions with people in an endeavour to turn them “from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God” Friendships have been made, contacts have come and gone, and sadly even some members of the ecclesia no longer attend. continue reading
