Heart of Caribbean cooperation Among others, the Martinique church is one of the pillars of this synergy. It is 36 years old, the oldest WCG congregation in the French-speaking Caribbean. The French West Indies churches, since last July, have had their own legal autonomous structure working under the umbrella of the Union of the WCG in France. All the French churches give royalties to the Union, which supervises, unifies and mentors them. Religious life of churches in the French West Indies Regarding religious affairs, the emphasis is put on grace, discipleship, Christian leadership and worship.
Spiritual growth is really visible among the brethren.
On March 19 in Martinique, we had a baptism ceremony for 10 people with songs, praise, worship and sermon where families and friends were invited. After the ceremony, two additional people who were attending asked to be baptized. We anticipate similar results at the next scheduled event for June. Contributions were 73 percent more than the first three months of last year. Regarding worship, many groups of people are creating original new songs for praise and worship, and we have in mind to produce some gospel and worship CDs.
