CYN: Prayer & Praises for Staff



Caribbean Youth Network: Nassau Staff


By Barbara Baesel


Dan Weightman has been enjoying mentoring and guiding the newbies in Nassau. He and Kelly love having a staff team to work with and can already see the new possibilities opening up for additional workers in the harvest field.

It has been over six months since Jude Vilma was hired as a full time Bahamian staff person supported by the National Staff Development Fund. (Hebron has supported this fund both prayerfully and financially.)  Jude has already taken ownership over the high school discipleship program and is spreading the ongoing outreach to the University of the Bahamas’ residential campus. In his most recent newsletter he thanks all for their support, encouragement, and prayers.

Bob and Donna Mastin joined CYN in Nassau at the end of October; and they have been on the streets daily networking, meeting people, building relationships, and learning about the youth culture firsthand.

Josh Linden joined the staff on Long Island as an Intern in 2013 and became the Ministry Coordinator in 2015.  He faithfully fulfills his contract this summer and will return to his home in California. Pray for Josh as he discerns God’s next call.

Shanika Cartwright will take over as Ministry Coordinator on Long Island. Mentored by Dan and Kelly, she has been a faithful volunteer for many years. Please pray for Shanika and the ministry on Long Island.

Gabe Swing continues as Out Island Coordinator and with his wife Jan, hosting work teams on Abaco.  Continued prayers for the Swings as they to minister to the people of a shanty town called “the Mud” where over 200 people were displaced by fire, 32 of their student’s homes were destroyed.
