Matt and Naomi Shields, serving in Aruba, are seeing steady growth across multiple ministries on the island. Their Spanish, English, and bilingual churches are all experiencing visitors, spiritual growth, and increasing involvement from believers. They are especially encouraged by individuals returning, growing in their faith, and new people being reached through both in-person services and online outreach.

Their ministries continue to expand through language classes, Bible Institute training, radio broadcasting, and online platforms, allowing the Gospel to reach a wide and diverse population. With over 100 nationalities on the island and millions of tourists each year, the Lord continues to bring people from many backgrounds into their services.

The Shields are also making progress on a major building project, including infrastructure work and planning for a future sanctuary. Though there are financial needs remaining, they are trusting the Lord to provide without going into debt. At the same time, their family is experiencing important life transitions, including a recent wedding, children pursuing ministry training, and new opportunities to serve the Lord.
