To All my dear Friends and supporters,
Over the past five years the Lord has given me wonderful
opportunities to minister in the Caribbean through music , spoken word
and just being His witness in many situations. Over the past two years
I have partnered with the Salvation Army and Living Word World
Outreach to reach out to those in need in the small Caribbean island
of Grenada. Most recently I ...was in Grenada this past September
where I had the opportunity to minister by running a day camp program
called “Camp Gospel Rock” for 27 children from the surrounding
community. I also spent time teaching and coaching their local praise
and worship team encouraging them to write , record and share original
praise and worship music. I worked with a team visiting the local jail
where music rang from the rafters and hope and life in Christ was
proclaimed and 10 men made decisions for the Lord, having the courage
to stand amongst their fellow inmates to declare their need of Jesus
in their lives. I made weekly trips to the Salvation Army Day Care and
preschool working with the babies and children sharing stories , music
and helping to feed and cuddle those precious little ones. One of the
many highlights of my trip was my regular visits to the Dorothy
Hopkins Centre for the disabled, which cares for 40 children, youth
and adults with a wide variety of special needs. Again we shared music
, stories and our love of Jesus together, just reaching out , touching
and being touched by the lives of those often forgotten by most of
society. I have special memories also of my visits to the Richond Hill
Home for the Destitute..better known as “The Poor House”. As I sang
and shared with some of the residents there I could hear a harmonica
being beautifully played from the lower level of the institution…as I
investigated I know a beautiful elderly gentleman who had lost his
sight..we shared some time playing old time hymns together with him
leading me….Singing “ I surrender All”….As I left on my final day..he
said to me….”don’t forget about us …you come back and see us again”
My heart has been touched by the beautiful little children, the
abused young teenaged girls I sang with at the Emergency Shelter for
children in need of protection. By the faithful, gifted brothers and
sisters in Christ toiling away as best as they can under sometimes
extremely difficult circumstances.
But a single voice cries out to my heart….the gentleman from
“the Poor House” saying ..don’t forget about us..please come back and
see us…..
My heart has been called by the very voice of Jesus to go ….to
the orphan, the widow, the poor, the forgotten, the abandoned, the
imprisoned…as be His hands , his Feet ..His voice of hope and compassion.
As I believe God has called me to return to Grenada and come
along our brothers and sisters there, bring my skill, gifts and
talents so a minister, a musician, a social worker , as a sister…..I
believe I must step out in faith and go where He is calling me.
I am reaching out to those who have supported me and ministry
over the years and asking if you would like to help support my work
and ministry in Grenada as I try to save enough money to return to
Grenada for three to six months and continue the ministry that God has
begun.
I don’t know how God will go about accomplishing this. . Every
dollar that I make will go towards this mission trip.
I would love to come and share my heart at your church ,
women’s group, youth group…if you would pass this on to anyone who
might use me in such a way it would mean so much to me.
If anyone is interested in perhaps sponsoring me individually ,
perhaps on a monthly basis, that is also a possibility.
You can reach me by email at cathygoddard@sonshinefamilies.ca,

God Bless you All!
