ISLAND FEATURE
MISSIONS REPORT: ECWI SAINT LUCIA

On July 31, 2022, ECWI St. Lucia, in collaboration with the Gospel Preaching Church in the south of the island, hosted a Prayer March in the town of Vieux Fort. The main purpose of the event was to pray for the community in light of the recent increase in crime, especially gun violence.

A prayer truck traveled through the town, stopping at several locations designated as prayer points. Messages were delivered by Hon. Dr. Kenny Anthony, Parliamentary Representative, and Hon. Joachim Henry, Minister of Equity, Social Justice, and Empowerment, who spoke on behalf of the Prime Minister. Evangelist Augustin St. Fort also shared a message of hope and salvation through Jesus Christ.

We thank God that several individuals responded to the Gospel, came forward for prayer, and committed their lives to Christ.

We are grateful for the churches across St. Lucia that united in prayer and worked together to host this impactful outreach. We pray that God will continue to bring peace to Vieux Fort and draw many more people to faith in Christ.

Newsletter | Dec 2022 | Encouragement

NEWSLETTER | ISSUE NO. 02 | DEC 2022 AN ENCOURAGEMENT REV. WALTRUDE DANTES Luke 2:10-11 (NIV) reads, “[…] Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” There has never been greater news destined to fill the hearts of men with hope and abundant joy. After this wonderful news from the angel, a great company of angels appeared suddenly, praising God saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.”—Luke 2:14 (NIV). A dear friend of mine pointed out the fact that there are places that are overly saturated with the Gospel and therefore may not need to hear the good news because they would have heard it before. This brought be back to the moment when I heard the gospel and responded to it. At that time, I remember saying to myself, “Wow!
