Where Faith Sets Sail

“The reason we chose this family trip was that we wanted to experience something different from a traditional vacation, where the family would go to a resort to relax and then go on an adventure. This was a Christ-centered experience where we served as missionaries and served local communities. The kids helped with sailing, rigging, chores, bringing supplies, and giving gifts to the local communities. It was a real blessing to serve and do something different.”

“My husband and I, along with our 18-year-old son, Kairo, spent an entire week with Deborah and Allen in Antigua (West Indies/Caribbean) the week before picking up the teens for sailing camp. We did not previously know Allen and Deborah. Still, they were considering hiring our son as a Kingdom Sail crew member in the future (as he is currently committed elsewhere this summer). We wanted to meet them in person and ensure everything was as good as it seemed online and during the Zoom interview/meeting. We can hardly put into words how amazing Allen and Deborah are. They are wonderful human beings who not only have a heart for sharing Jesus with the world, but they have hearts of extreme generosity and love towards others. Allen and Deborah don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk. They are the hands and feet of Jesus, shining their light into dark, lonely, and hopeless communities and lives. They genuinely love others well!! We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Kingdom Sail, the teens who join on the sails, and all the communities we serve. God is going to do some amazing things through Kingdom Sail!! We not only highly recommend Kingdom Sail, but we also highly trust Allen and Deborah to be exceptional leaders and mentors in the life of our son (as he joins the crew and begins sailing for them) … and hopefully and prayerfully in the lives of your teens as well!!”

“My wife and I serve as missionary pastors and founders of the New Life Assembly of God church in Antigua and Barbuda. This year we had the honor and privilege to connect with Kingdom Sail, led by Allen & Deborah Carter. There are no words to describe how grateful we are and how blessed we are with this amazing ministry! But here we go! They are one of the most inspiring, loving and hard working people I ever met. We did ministry together with their team twice, we did what we called a Nehemiah tour. We did compassion ministry, evangelism and so much more. They are the real deal! They are passionate about helping the youth and adults to find their true identity in Christ, or what we call, finding your true north. They are Spirit filled, Spirit led and Spirit gifted. We love them and appreciate them for their love and support! I recommend them 10000% If you would like to send your teens, youth, or adults to a part of this great mission experience and life-changing experience, please reach out to them. You will not be the same. Thank you, Kingdom Sail, for being a life-changing agent for the Kingdom of God! We love you and look forward to seeing you soon! Love, Pastor Billy Roman Antigua”

“This trip has been truly life-changing. I arrived carrying feelings of inadequacy, but God met me here in a powerful way, reminding me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I’ve grown closer to Him than ever before, reigniting my passion and discipline to pursue His plan for my life. The crew’s kindness, patience, and unity made every moment memorable. From serving in local communities to learning teamwork on the boat, I leave feeling whole, secure, and deeply grateful. This experience pulled me away from the noise of everyday life and set my heart on fire for God’s glory. I believe everyone could benefit from a journey like this.”

“I will leave this trip with a new perspective on life, as I feel that I have gained a deeper understanding of myself and my relationship with God. To anyone considering a Kingdom Sail adventure, get ready to grow spiritually and make some fantastic friends.”

“Something beautiful happened in Hana's soul while she was on her Kingdom Sail journey. When she returned home, she was energized in her spirit and relationship with the Lord. She wanted to talk about all of the fun things like snorkeling with the rays and turtles, the beautiful beaches, quick warm rains, evening worship around a bonfire and shopping on the last day. But she also wanted to share the gratitude she had for where she came from after seeing poor neighborhoods and children who didn't have much. She also had confidence from learning the ropes of sailing and receiving her deckhand certificate. Overall, I would recommend this for anyone who wants to see their child grow in Christ, mature in mind and spirit, and simply gain spiritual tools to help them maneuver life's difficult paths in their future Allen and Deborah were so wonderful that Hana has decided she wants to be baptized by Allen in the Ocean if he would be willing.. Hana would like to go again next year and so does her younger brother. My husband and I are all for it and we never once worried about our teen while she was with Kingdom Sail. What a wonderful experience for her. We are so grateful to have found Kingdom Sail!”

“I loved working alongside Allen and Deborah and seeing how God works through them and what they're really like. Seeing the way they work with the local missionaries and the impact on the local people is inspiring, and they're great leaders. It’s been a real pleasure working with them. Being on these trips is a unique opportunity that not many other people might have in life. I would absolutely come again.”

“I loved swimming with the sea turtles; that was amazing. Also, worshipping at night on the beach, at a bonfire, and looking at the stars. It was so beautiful, and God was there, touching all our hearts. I'm going away knowing that I am free and that fear no longer has a hold on me. To anyone considering coming to Kingdom Sail, don't think about it and come. There's nothing to think about. It is literally amazing.”

“Before the trip I wanted to get closer to God and make new friends. And actually, I met those expectations. I did get close to God and I made friends with every single person on this crew. I have learned to stop complaining when I’m bored as I have seen firsthand that the people in Antigua have next to nothing and I need to be grateful for the things I have. I also need to stay strong and keep reading my Bible because that will help me get closer to God.”

“It was just an amazing experience. I will absolutely come back again. For anyone considering coming on a Kingdom Sail trip, please do it. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. The crew have been amazing. They are all so wonderful and empowering people.”

“The first mission trip was enlightening and a really good experience. To see the poverty that all those people were living in and how the children were still smiling and always happy even though they've been poverty. It's really awesome to get the opportunity to play with them and bring them joy”

“I Highly recommend Kingdom Sail to anyone who wants to get away, enjoying peace and quiet in the Caribbean. This is a transforming time resting, playing, learning how to sail, learning how to spend time with God and serving God through their missions. Triple 👍👍👍. Worth every penny”
