Once again we had the privilege of attending the school the last weekend of the year. Instead of lodging all overseas visitors in a hotel as in previous years, the brethren decided to create temporary dorms for the young people on the second floor of the San Salvador ecclesial hall. They procured a dozen double bunk beds and installed a couple of extra showers, while sisters from the meeting came early each morning to prepare breakfast. continue reading

It was about 30 years ago that Christadelphians first came to Saint Lucia and started to preach there were good results in those early days with a number of baptisms and the basis of an ecclesia. During the 10 years before we first came here in 2005 many brothers and sisters had come for extended stays sometimes for as long as six months and ecclesia was in place by the time we came here in 2005. continue reading

Brother Dennis Paggi and I decided to go to Mexico in October for our yearly visit and to give a study weekend for the brothers and sisters in the Guadalajara area. We had a pleasant flight down and were met by a smiling Sister Cynthia Paiva de Lopez. Brother and Sister Gabriel and Cynthia are the resident missionaries, and always make us feel very welcome. After we arrived at their house, we spent some time chatting and catching up, and then looking at all the fruit trees in their garden. This time of the year is very pretty in Guadalajara. The rainy season is almost over, and the flowers are all in bloom. The temperature is very pleasant, and the skies are filled with beautiful cumulus clouds. continue reading

Officially, our scheduled activities and sweet fellowship for our Bible School in Panama commenced on April 14th.

We are so thankful to the grace of God that everyone arrived safely, whether they joined us on the first day or during the week. continue reading

Though COVID is still around, our ecclesias in Latin America have returned to more normal functioning.  We are thankful to report four convivencias were held in 2025 with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ecuador and Panama sponsoring events. There was wide international participation from Latin America, and most of our teachers and leaders were local brothers and sisters. Much like our Bible Schools in North America, these events serve a number of purposes: spiritual instruction, fellowship, friendship and a place where our young people can meet each other.  With the emergence of the internet, many of the relationships (younger and older) which begin at a convivencia continue afterwards through regular communication. continue reading

As our refugee brothers and sisters continue to settle across North America, we give thanks for the resilience, faith, and fellowship evident in each emerging ecclesial community. The following updates from Montreal, Green Bay, and Des Moines highlight their progress, ongoing needs, and the many ways God is strengthening these families as they establish new lives and worship together in their new homes. May these reports inspire our prayers and support for the important work taking place in each region. continue reading
