Caribbean Model for House Churches
Within this session Dr. Samuel Telemaque took the time to carefully expose us to a guideline
that we can use for house churches here in the Caribbean. He noted that, a Caribbean Model for
House Churches should reflect the worldview, values and cultural practices of a particular people
group. I propose to suggest a culturally sensitive model to facilitate discipleship and church
planting among Caribbean born Hindus. It is critical to understand that God works through
global forces to expand His mission. Genesis 11 and 12 portray the fact that God makes Himself
known to all people in multiple languages. God does not limit his mission to one particular
people group but is a God of diversity. Through diversity in cultures and languages, God
conveyed that He wanted to be known to all people, in all languages, and in all places. He is the
God of all families.
I appreciate that through his model shared, we were guided on how to go about ministering to
Hindus, because He referenced some important points raised by Pastor Teelbaney Singh on their
beliefs and practices. I am thankful for the session and by Gods grace with much prayer and
guidance I can be able to effectively reach my Hindu brothers and sisters
