    • 9-8-2015

    The most recent update coming out of Dominica reveals that Tropical Storm Erika has killed as many as 20 people and left another 31 missing. Hundreds of homes, bridges and roads have been destroyed. The Hon Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of Dominica said that the extent of the devastation is monumental and as such as created a national tragedy.


    Rev. David Serrant, President of the Baptist Union of Dominica confirmed the tragedy and pointed out that Baptist members are among those severely affected. He further explained that access to Dominica can only be by boat as the airport has been damaged and the roads leading from it impassable.


    I call upon the member bodies of the Caribbean Baptist Fellowship to pool efforts and resources to assist our Caribbean sisters and brothers. Send your contributions to the Caribbean Baptist Fellowship so that the relief efforts can be coordinated.
