Newsletter - April 6^th, 2007

On behalf of Central Vineyard Ministries and Pans of Praise, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is a delight to briefly share with you some details, on our just concluded mission trip to the United States. As you know our steel drum group [Pans of Praise] recently toured the U.S. We were truly blessed as we saw God moving on our behalf. We have so much to be thankful for. We thank Almighty God for keeping everyone healthy, even though it was the very first time the group spent a winter in the United States. They were also able to see snow for the very first time. It was a great and exciting time for them.

As we traveled, we had the opportunity to share what God has laid upon our hearts, and what we are trying to accomplish in Trinidad. Our group was welcomed wherever they went, and our message was well received. We are hoping with your continued help, to buy a piece of land that we so desperately need, to build a church and homeless shelter on. We pray that you will partner with us to make this mission possible.

Trinidad really needs you. Our young people have spent many years training on the steel drums perfecting their music, to be a blessing to you. We hope that you will give them the opportunity to do so whenever they are here in the US. Our needs in Trinidad are great, but with your help we can overcome. We hope that you will bring a team to share, educate and encourage the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

We also take this opportunity to thank Renfrew Baptist Church for their tremendous support. They gave us groceries and all the gas we needed while we were here. May God continue to bless them in every way that they may continue to bless others. And Lee Road Baptist Church especially Judy and Dee Ferguson. We are excited about their trip to Trinidad in the spring. Also pastor Bill Higgins of Life Springs Community Church. Pastor Bill has been a true friend. He always takes the time to help us get new churches to play and the chance to meet new people. May God richly bless you Pastor Bill. There are many others who are also in our thoughts and prayers.

Pans of Praise will continue training for their next trip in August-November. We trust that you will continue to keep them in your prayers and we look forward to a great relationship in Christ. God Bless.
