Recently two leaders of the Kalinago people and their seven children joined the Church. Another Church member just moved to the Kalinago area. Unfortunately, the closest branch is a one-hour drive away in Roseau. There is no public transportation, and it is very difficult for them to stay active. A couple is needed to provide transportation for these members and support for the missionaries until there are a few more members so the Church could form a “Group” in the Kalinago area. There is also a pressing need for humanitarian assistance to the Kalinago community in general as described below.
