I don’t know that we ever outlined a “goal.” But, if it is necessary, I would say the goal is encapsulated in the saying I have used in letters throughout the years: “Inspiring Baptist Youth to Christian Excellence.” This contribution was made by Yves. The actual name, “Independent Baptist Youth of the Caribbean,” was contributed by Bro. Johnson. I had a very unusual and crazy childhood — I don’t think most West Indians would understand or even believe it. Even the grandchildren would find it fanciful. However, it was after attending an Institute of Basic Youth Conflicts Seminar in Dallas, that my “Christian life” changed dramatically. Bill Gothard was the speaker. I was a wild one. This was so helpful to me that I just wanted to share the information with all the young people I met so they wouldn’t make the same mistakes I had made. It was while looking at an envelope from that organization and noticing the I.B.Y.C., and telling about a possible youth ministry in the Caribbean that Papa said, IBYC, “Independent Baptist Youth of the Caribbean,” and so it was named.
