Dear Mishpochah (family):

I had a blessed time in the Caribbean Island of Trinidad from March
14-24, 2001. I went with the church in NY. We had over 40 people go
to Trinidad on the evangelistic outreach. The goal of the outreach
was to bring people to the saving knowledge of the Messiah Yeshua /
Jesus, pray for the breaking of Satanic strongholds in Trinidad and
to start a new church from those who were blessed through what the
Lord did through our group.

The first week we spend most of our time on the streets of one of
the major cities in Trinidad --- San Fernando. We walked the streets
talking to people and telling them about the Messiah, praying for their
healing and deliverance and encouraging them to come to the evening
meetings. We also paraded through the streets of San Fernando
carrying the ark of the covenant (a replica), blowing the shofar and
carrying Messianic banners. We drew quite a crowd when we did this
processional. We paraded through the streets of San Fernando on two
different occasions.

For the entire trip, we had over 500 adults accept Yeshua /
Jesus as their Messiah. We witnessed miracle healings and
deliverance. We also went to a strategic place in San Fernando and
prayed for those places which were dedicated to the "Queen of Heaven".
The "Queen of Heaven" rides on a bull. This same week was when the US
stock market dropped over 800 points and it is still falling!

We had various ministry teams and some of those teams preached
Messiah in the schools of Trinidad. From these sessions, there were
over 5,000 children who raised their hand to accept Yeshua / Jesus as
Messiah!

From the outreach, we expected about 100-200 people to attend the
first church services from the outreach which was on March 25. A
local Pastor from Trinidad is going to be the Pastor of this new
church in San Fernando.

Several years ago, I sent a free copy of my book, "The Seven
Festivals of the Messiah" to a Pastor in Trinidad who joined
the Hebraic Heritage newsgroup at that time. After about a year being
on the newsgroup, he decided that the newsgroup was being a blessing to him
and decided to read my Festivals book. From reading the book, he has
decided to teach the Festivals to his congregation and do it each
week for the next 2-3 years! This Pastor made a special trip to meet with me
and drove from one end of Trinidad to the other (a hour drive) to
meet with me and share this testimony with me at the hotel that I was
staying at in Trinidad.

Last fall, I taught a class on the Festivals in NY. Audio and
video tape of the sessions were made. It is my desire to take the
information that I taught in these classes last fall and put each
lesson thought by thought and scripture by scripture into a study
booklet. I want to have the study booklet of each lesson that I
taught on the Festivals and the audio tapes available to group
leaders in the USA and around the world so that they can teach the
Festivals to their own fellowship groups.

I began working on this project in the evenings when I was in
Trinidad. I took each audio tape that was made last fall in NY and
made a detailed written teaching lesson that I pray that
others will be able to use so that they don't have to "reinvent the
wheel" when they desire to teach the Festivals to their own study
groups. I was able to complete 9 of the 10 tapes in Trinidad. I am
currently working on finalizing these study and teaching lessons so
that the printing ministry in NY can put each lesson into a study
booklet. I then want to make this study booklet and the audio tapes
available to members of the newsgroup. When I get this project
completed (and get access to an audio tape duplicator), I will make
an announcement to the newsgroup.

I am teaching this Festivals class again (13 weeks) in NY
beginning Thursday night April 5 and continuing each Thursday night
through the end of June.

My weekly schedule from April to June is:

Work: Sunday - Wednesday (10 hours a day)

Fly to NY and be in NY (Thursday - Saturday) and teach the Festivals
class on Thursday nights.

I pray that the time that I spend in NY will become a blessing to
the newsgroup and the entire body of Messiah as I complete this
project to make these audio tapes and teaching lessons available to
study groups in the USA and throughout the world.

May God continue to bless you in your studies,
