THIS MAN NEEDS A CHAMPION TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE

MEET MY FRIEND

BISHOP JASON GORDON

BISHOP OF BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS

This man has a dream. He needs a champion to help him translate his dream into a reality.

His diocese was given some commercial property overlooking the the ocean. He wants to transform it into THE PADRE PIO RETREAT HOUSE to serve the needs of his diocese and the needs of retreat groups from the United States.

The Diocese of Bridgetown (Barbados) has many needs and simply cannot afford to take this on themselves. He is a partner with my new organization called Catholic Second Wind Guild in hopes the Guild will help find such a champion, help recruit retired retreat masters and help attract people interested is a stunning prayerful environment in the island nation of Barbados. 

The property basically consists of twelve apartments each having two bed rooms, a kitchenette, living room and private deck" housing units separated by a parking lot. Bishop Gordon hopes to buy the lot between his property and the ocean, build a central chapel/multipurpose building that would connect the two housing units. The compound has a swimming pool. Since the island is relatively small, it is less than 30 minutes to nice restaurants and excellent golf courses. There is a handy road down to a secluded beach. 

A champion, willing to help the bishop realize his dream, could work out a deal with the diocese to have exclusive access to one of the two bedroom, two bath, kitchen, living room and deck units to decorate and use whenever they wish to go down for quiet, access to some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, amazing restaurants and gorgeous beaches. 

American Airlines has two direct flights daily from Miami to Barbados.

This partnership would be a third project of my Catholic Second Wind Guild (Barbados Chapter). 

Our first project was to help the Bishop buy TV recording equipment to do evangelization throughout the Caribbean. Since then, he finished a new TV studio on the Cathedral property. 

A second project, was to conduct free-of-charge, the annual priest retreat last fall.

“Translating a dream into reality takes great courage. Doubt is a constant enemy. When doubt reigns, there is a strong temptation to let go of part of the dream as a way of resolving inevitable tensions. Success depends on the ability to remain enthusiastic, focused and purposeful to the end.”

I have no idea where this champion will come from, but I do believe there is one out there somewhere. You just be the medium through which this connection will be made possible.
