Guyana Mission Trip – Days Eight and Nine – The Weekend
Saturday morning came all too early for me. At 4:30 I awoke and could not go back to sleep. I sat on the front steps and watched the moon set and the sun slowly climb. At 5:30 brothers George and Dorreck set off on the motorcycle for Karasabai, a village north of Lethem about 3 […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Seven
The morning newspaper headline was large: “MORMONS TOLD TO LEAVE GUYANA” We were unsure what to make of this and were a bit concerned ourselves when we saw the lengthy article in Guyana’s top newspaper. Was this a government crackdown on religion in general or something specific to the Mormons? A thorough reading showed that […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Six
“in many ways, God spoke to our Fathers…” (Hebrews 1:1) So begins the glorious book of Hebrews, penned by an unknown author to Christians of a Jewish background. We took this as our starting point for our Thursday class. The students were given an in-depth lecture on the covenants of God and, more specifically, how […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Five
We established on Tuesday the nature of the church yesterday and demonstrated the ownership of the church by Jesus Christ alone. Notably, the church is not owned by any man or organization. Any church which points to a mortal man as its founder is unsuitable and finds itself in competition with the one true church […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Four
Our preaching students are just that – students. They have offered brief Bible talks and have participated in various aspects of the public worship but they have never presented a full length sermon. The need to prepare them to speak became even more pressing when we learned of a pulpit vacancy that will soon occur […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Three
School is in for our second batch of preaching students! We began the first class of the first semester for these brand new men who will soon be preaching throughout the Rupanuni. They were eager to begin and full of questions. We began the day with our chapel service which is conducted by the students. […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day Two
The day dawned in near cloudless beauty as the saints in Lethem assembled together to worship and commune around the Lord’s table. Christians from far and near were together for a single purpose and that was to praise God and glorify his name. Thomas George, the preacher at Lethem/St. Ignatius church of Christ and the […]
Guyana Mission Trip – Day One
A young soul was baptized into Christ, washing away his sins and becoming a Christian all at the same time! Shain Tippins had studied with Frederick Dundas of the Moco Moco church and with Philip Duncan a former student at Guyana Christian University. He had sent word of his desire to be joined with Christ […]
Our Graduating Class
We’d like for you to take a look at an article at brotherhoodnews.com about our first graduating class of students. Thanks to all of our teachers who have made this graduation a success! 10 more begin classes on August 31 so please keep praying for Guyana Christian University.
Auntie Rosie
What follows is an email from brother H.M., a native preacher in Guyana. This is a true story of a fine Christian lady who shows enough dedication to put many younger people to shame. You will be encouraged by reading it. Aunty Rosie, a Christian, has stopped attending when the doors of the Canal 1 Church […]
