Sailing the Seas of the Caribbean


In February, 2010, A group of 10 from Saddleback Church went on a PEACE Trip to St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Granada Islands in the Caribbean, they sailed on a 41 foot catamaran. A total of about 150 miles, 3 different island nations, where the people, culture and terrain were all so different. They learned that the Caribbean Island is the 2nd highest in HIV aids pandemic after Africa. The team worked with local churches and met the island people and were so blessed. They visited a local church in Castries, St Lucia, were the team gave some of the BURP cloths. Others were given to a lady they met named Eleanor who sent this letter to the team.

"I will be visiting one of our poorest villages called "Belile" and will share your love there. I will also give a few to some Teen Moms. I have been asked to share at a two day retreat held for Teen Moms so Will share some of your Baby Berp Ministry goodies with them too. Thank you very much.
I thank God for every one of you and hope you will come again. I love you all so much and indeed I feel like your family."

The locals like to say "Grenada is the land of spice, where everything is nice in Jesus Christ"
