United Caribbean began as “Hands of Help”
for Barbadian NGO’s and private sector individuals, who
responded to the needs of the people of the Tri Island State of
Grenada, in the wake of Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.
What started
as an initiative to render relief assistance quickly grew,
following damage assessment and consultation with community
leaders, into a strong desire to establish a series of 'Empowerment
Programmes' designed to enable the populace especially children
to cope with the magnitude of the disaster and help define
the scope of the recovery programmes required to restore a
Nation.
A United
Caribbean Trust (UCT) fund was created to oversee the disbursement
of donated funds. To ensure transparency www.UnitedCaribbean.com
was created.
God has taken this effort and transformed
it into a massive Caribbean Internet Portal showcasing the move
of God in our region.
UCT is committed to uniting the children
of the Caribbean through faith, sports, travel, music, dance
and drama.
Over the years the ministry has extended into
various countries including Haiti, Dominica, Suriname and
as far afield as Africa.

The 10/40 Window confronts
us with several important considerations:
•first,
the historical and biblical significance;
•second, the least evangelized countries
with 6,000 unreached people groups;
•third, the large number of poor and
diseased;
•fourth, the least evangelized mega-cities;
•sixth, the dominance of three religions;
•seventh, the strongholds of Satan
within ‘The 10/40 Window’.
"The
poor are the lost, and the lost are the poor."
Missions is the heartbeat of God
It is our urgent call to provide
sponsorship for not only the orphans but also to support and
empower the body of Christ and send them out for the Great
Commission.

Gospelfest was established in
1993 by the Barbados Tourist Board (BTB). The festival was
the brainchild of the then Minister of Tourism Wes Hall, now
Rev. Wes Hall. In 1995 the responsibility for the production
of the festival was passed on to the Gospelfest Organising
Committee made up of persons from the Christian community,
chaired by Barbadian event manager Adrian Agard.

out in Faith and God showed Himself might. Pastor Happy was

destroyed Grenada, ' There will be a great storm and after
the storm a great revival'... watch this space!

sold as ‘Christian

season (thus fund the Trust) and opened to Christian youth
groups and Caribbean churches from August to October as conference

accommodation for relief workers and street evangelist as
