Reflections from the CARIFES Consultation in Tobago

The CARIFES consultation held January 12-14, 2017, in Tobago, was wonderful! Dr. Alice Brown-Collins (Dr. ABC), Felicia Anderson, and I represented GFM and BSAP. Wendy Quay Honeycutt also attended, leading seminars on Passion Talks at the conference.

We thank God for being able to be a part of the beginning stages of developing graduate ministry in the Caribbean. There were approximately 17 countries represented, including Dutch and French-speaking islands.
