Weekly Video from It Is Easy Ministries.
Dear Friends and Partners of Pastors Victor and Judith Emenike with It Is Easy Ministries, In the previous newsletter we reported on our first two days of ministry on the island Curacao, in the Caribbean. This one reports on what happened after that. Sunday Morning, 07 September 2008. Many people came to the service. The hall used by Abundant Life Ministries was packed again.
Dear Friends and Partners of Pastors Victor and Judith Greetings and Blessings from the island of Curacao. In 1954 Curacao became the seat of government for the Netherlands Antilles, which is a self-governing state of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The island with its 130,000 people is in the Caribbean Sea northeast from Venezuela. The entire state is made up of five islands in the Caribbean Sea. Our arrival was great. Two of our workers arrived 2 days earlier from the Netherlands. They picked us up with their 2 year old daughter and 8 week old baby. They came here with us to support the great works the Lord is doing here among the people in Curacao. The weather was very warm, but the cool breeze in the night made it enjoyable and thankfully the mosquitoes left us alone. The very next morning, at 9 AM, we were invited to the most popular TV station on the whole island for a live broadcast. On that day we got our first impression from the island, which was very colourful. We discovered that Willemstad, the capital city which is on Curacao, was put on the UNESCO’s World Heritage Cities List in 1997. It has beautiful buildings. We will put some pictures of the city on our website. The history the Netherlands Antilles like so much of the surrounding countries and former colonies is based on the slave trade. If you want to learn more about this sad history, there are many resources available on the Internet. Thankfully, this is no longer the case, and much of the economy is now based on tourism, banking, and the oil industry. (Venezuela, a major oil exporter is nearby and there is a large refinery business here.) We drove through the island, visited both coasts of this long narrow island and discovered many beautiful sights:
On the second day Pastors Victor and Judith were invited to speak live on the most famous secular radio station on Curacao called MAS, 99.7 FM. We got up early because the program started 6AM. It went on for an entire hour. After a short Word of God, people called in:
We could see that there are many needs on the island.
