It has begun...

Officially, I am in Grenada to help re-start the ministry of Inter School Christian Fellowship in the schools here. I just realised that I didn't post anything about the group that was restarted last year at the T.A. Marryshow Community College (TAMCC). I was very encouraged by the three young ladies who eagerly embraced the concept of having a Christian witness in their school, and were willing to start the following week.
Leading in time of worship
Lively discussion on the account of creation in Genesis 1
Being introduced to the Bible Study initiative 'Face the Book'
This term the first school that was ready to start an ISCF group was Beacon High School, a private Christian school with about 80 students. There was a Bible Club organised by teachers, but once the teachers were busy, the students didn't meet, so they were eager to have a group which would be run by the students.

Introductions at the first meeting
Finding out what Scripture teaches about salvation
At Boca Secondary, I was invited at address the entire school to encourage them to participate in ISCF. At the first meeting, fifteen students attended. The following week, there were twenty-five who came. We will be using a bigger classroom this week, since on both occasions, there were students on the outside who wanted to come in, but didn't because it was too crowded.

Only a few of them were prepared to admit they were Christians
Eager to meet more than once for the week
Anglican High School has a legacy of ISCF groups at the school, but due to many changes the group became dormant. However with the help of two faithful teachers, it is being revitalised.

Ice breaker on the first day
Please pray for the students in these schools, that those who are Christians would be willing to be identified as such, and be prepared to take up the leadership role of ISCF in their schools. Pray also that students who are not Christians but are attending the meetings would get to the point where they surrender their lives to Christ.

I am grateful to God for the connection with Cross Connect Ministries which is helping with the planning of the student version of the relaunch of ISCF Grenada. After our first meeting, it really seems possible that this event is going to be a great success! Thanking God in advance for the release of the funding needed to make the event possible.

Great minds...great fun!
God continues to open doors for the advancement of His kingdom in schools and individual lives in Grenada and I'm ready and excited about walking through them. Thanks for those who have supported thus far - de journey now start!!!!
