“Spread the Good News” – Theme of 24th Charismatic Renewal Caribbean Conference this weekend.
With the resounding theme, Evangelize, Spread the Good News, the conference promises a dynamic and spiritually enriching experience for attendees.
Derived from the scripture Matthew 28:19–20, the theme encapsulates the core mission of the conference—to inspire and equip individuals to share the transformative message of the Gospel.
Throughout the three-day event, participants will delve into various topics, including ‘New Evangelization’, ‘Power Evangelization’, ‘Salvation in no other but Jesus Christ’, ‘Oikos Evangelization (Family Evangelization)’, and ‘Street Evangelization’.
The conference agenda is designed to cater to diverse aspects of spiritual growth and engagement. Attendees can anticipate a time of healing, intercessory prayer, spiritual conversations, and empowering sessions.
The programme will feature presentations in various forms including Spoken Word, Gospelypso, dance, and powerful testimonies.
Mass on Saturday will be a special highlight, celebrated by Fr Maurice Nutt, bringing a unique and spiritually uplifting experience to participants. The closing Mass on Sunday will be celebrated by Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon, offering a poignant conclusion to the conference.
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement has been a driving force in fostering a deeper connection with faith, emphasising the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The conference serves as a testament to the movement’s commitment to renewing and invigorating the spiritual lives of its members.
As participants from across the Caribbean gather for this significant event, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of Trinidad and Tobago invites everyone to join in this collective journey of faith, fellowship, and evangelisation.
The conference promises to be a celebration of unity, spirituality, and the joy of spreading the Good News to all corners of the Caribbean and the wider region.
