Youth

Just like in the U.S., the young people in the Caribbean are faced with peer pressure and the temptations of drugs, alcohol, pre-marital sex, and dropping out of school. We find these young men and women hungry for acceptance and looking in all the wrong places. In recent years, CMA has actively reached out to this age group through a girl's Bible study, interaction with teams and most recently through the presentation of an abstinence program in the high schools.

However, developing one-on-one relationships with this younger generation has proven the most effective way to show them God's unconditional love and we hope to seeing more missionaries and especially mature Christian reaching out to their younger peers in the coming months and years.

Children

The ministry of CMA sees the discipleship of children to be just as important as that of adults and one of our future goals is to develop a weekly Bible program such as AWANA for the children of the island. Current missionaries have worked hard to develop familiarity and friendships with the children and their parents through community interaction and church attendance. In the past, a Bible study for teen girls has been well-received and served to develop friendships based on trust and honesty.

The children love to interact with any and all who will show them attention; which makes this field ripe for harvest. As the ministry expands and gains more staff, we hope to see more opportunities to reach out to these precious souls and to witness them growing in the knowledge of God and living out a life in devotion to Him.

Facilities

When teams come to Eleuthera in the Bahamas they will stay at the Eleuthera Bible Training Center. The facilities include a two dormitories, one for men and one for women. We have indoor pluming and air condition in both dorms.

Interns have a separate private room for their lodging behind the dorms, again one room for male interns and another for women.

EBTC has a kitchen, library, common hall, basketball court, sand volleyball court, exercise hill, cistern, and office.
