End of the Year Report
by Aubry Tyler SOC Director
It has been an exciting year as God has opened so many doors for the SOC throughout the Caribbean. We have run six schools in our home base in Trinidad, along with the Pastors running pilot schools themselves in some of their own churches. From here the work has continued into French Guyana, Suriname, and Guyana with schools running there as well.
This year we were able to run the first shut in school in Guyana with eleven Amerindian students coming from some of the most remote areas (such as Region One). Our first school in Suriname was a great success with the school being translated into the Surinamese's language. Pastors are taking the school back to their regions, and schools will be running year round.
Also, this year we ran the first school in the nation of Antigua, and what a door has came from the pastors of this school. Not only did they set up pilot schools in their organizations, but also went to the near by nations of Guadalupe and Saint Kist to establish the work for schools to start early next year. Also, the door is wide open for Saint Vincent, which is a nation of twelve islands. We will begin working there the first of the year. After the first of the year we will also be starting schools in Grenada as the cry comes to "bring us this school."
We ran another school in Iceland with only a few students, but the Lord gave us the right people as always. One student is in the process of translating the school into the Norwegian language. He also has TV production equipment and air time to help the school reach Norway, Scandinavia, Finland, and Sweden. All Bro. Tobi asked is for us to give him the material; he is running with the vision.
All together we ran ten full-time shut-in schools, and we had an additional eight pilot schools with hundreds of people being trained for evangelism. The testimonies are the same in every school. The students thank God for Bro. Clendennen and his teaching. Healings have become a normal occurrence in these schools, just like students being filled with the Holy Ghost.
We morn the lost of our spiritual "General" at the close of this year, but we know heaven is rejoicing over the homecoming of such a faithful and fruitful Man of God. I believe the greatest honor we could give his memory, as well as his legacy, would be to finish what he has started. Now is not the time to draw back, but it's a time to thrust forward and finish the work God has used him to start! All that Bro. Clendennen has instilled in us gives testimony that he yet lives in us, and we must finish this mighty work he has begun.
