The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) of the Caribbean have remained somewhat obscure to the outside world until the `80s when tourism investment began to come to the Islands. With the prospects of employment people immigrated there from nearby island countries. TCI is an English speaking country, but growing with Creole and Spanish speakers, estimating between 17,000 – 30,000. Superintendent Pastor Bradley saw that God was bringing people to their shores who could be reached for Christ. It was evident as we visited the project sites that the leadership had one passion in front of them, to take advantage of the moment to share the gospel of Christ.
On my recent visit to TCI with a group of North TX Pastors, we set our goal to best determine how we could partner with this growing work.
The current Creole congregation lost its complete roof structure in the storm. That did not deter them. They set about building the concrete second floor which, is now ready for walls. At the same time properties for the new Spanish church and a secondary English speaking location have been acquired.
The TCI church is alive and moving forward. Builders International is partnering with the Turks and Caicos church in this effort and is currently scheduling construction teams. Please refer to our website for more opportunity to be a part. – John Sims
