Limin in TnT

Trinidad and Tobago

I just got back from a 3 weeks short term missions trip to Trinidad and Tobago. They are islands located 7 miles off the north east coast of Venezuela. I absolutely fell in love with the people there and the culture. The team (30 of us) went down to work alongside Great Commission Bible Church in Port of Spain, Trinidad. We did a VBS for the first week and went to few different schools and did hour long assemblies (consisting of games, music, a drama, dance). We also led youth nights at the church two nights the first week. The second week we were able to do another VBS at a different location and reach more people in Trinidad. The third week we went to Tobago for a few days to debrief and to recap with everyone. I was able to get to know a lot of the locals, aka Trini's. The people there, of the church that we met, accepted us and treated us like family. It was so exciting to go and see that there are people serving the same God and have the same faith. I cant wait to go back, whenever that is going to be!
