Meet the ISCF Grenada family

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12

Many people have commended me on the "great job you are doing with ISCF Grenada" but it would be remiss of me to take the credit for all that God has been doing through the ministry here. There is no way I could have accomplished what has been done on my own, so I would like to take the opportunity to recognise and show appreciation to the other parts of the body of ISCF Grenada:

THE BOARD

At our first Annual General Meeting in October 2014, eleven persons made themselves available to serve as Directors and Board members for ISCF Grenada. Under the leadership of Brother Rodney Mc Intyre, the Board has been meeting monthly to provide direction to the ministry. We are in the process of developing a strategic plan for ISCF Grenada, to ensure that we are able to accomplish our mission and see our vision fulfilled. The Board has also appointed a sub-committee which has been working to raise funds to assist the Grenada delegation to World Assembly 2015. We thank God for these men and women who have volunteered of their time and expertise to provide good governance for ISCF Grenada.

THE SPONSORS

Christian teachers who are willing to take up the additional responsibilities of investing in the lives of students through the ministry of ISCF are not easy to find. In the midst of their teaching duties and involvement in other extra-curricular activities, these faithful soldiers make time to meet with students to plan meetings, encourage students to attend meetings, and some even take up the challenge to share in meetings when the students are unable to do so. They can be assured that their labour in the Lord is not in vain.

THE PRAYER WARRIORS

Once a month these faithful soldiers meet to give God thanks for His faithfulness and to petition His throne on behalf of the ministry of ISCF Grenada. There is great rejoicing when we see prayer answered, and much intercession when requests are presented. Prayer is the foundation on which this work is built, so we are trusting God to raise up even more prayer supporters who will commit to covering the ministry in prayer.

THE FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS

There are a few loyal supporters who have been unwavering in the financial support of the ministry. They give quietly and cheerfully, without expecting anything in return. We pray that they would receive good measure for all they have given, pressed down, shaken together and running over.

THE VOLUNTEERS

All the ISCF activities which happen outside of the regular school time would not be possible without our hard-working volunteers. They serve on committees to plan events, coming to meetings on evenings after work to ensure that all details are in place. They give up their Saturdays to work with the students, leading small group discussions, bible studies and praying for them. Without their enthusiasm and involvement, the work would surely not be able to go on.

At ISCF Grenada, we work hard, and play harder :) A social event was organised earlier this year to show appreciation to our dedicated volunteers. It started with a photoshoot at Quarantine Point, after which we enjoyed a stunning sunset. We ended the evening with a fun time of games with lots of laughter and pizza (one of which was an unexpected gift). God worked it out that we were able to enjoy this time of fellowship at the Radisson after being unable to find a table at the crowded Rick's Cafe. The blessings of the Lord!

THE STUDENTS

They are at the heart of what we do. They are the ones who attend meetings every week and fellowship with others at national events. They are the ones who have present truths at meetings and ask questions about how to live godly lives. Without their involvement and participation, all our work would have no impact.
