From the 30th April to the 3rd of May we held the annual La Paz Convivencia (Ecclesial Bible Camp) and were fortunate enough to have Bro. Douglas and Sis. Marisol Vanegas from Costa Rica with us, with Bro. Douglas leading the marathon of studies.   With 10 studies, daily Bible readings and 15 separate eating times throughout the 3 days it really was a weekend full of food! continue reading

At the end of the road that runs down the western coast of South America is the city of Puerto Montt, Chile.   It is a long way from anywhere, however, we live in an age when Distance has lost much of her power.   Our friend in Puerto Montt who met us via Facebook, read about us in www.labiblia.com, studies with us on Skype, and occasionally receives a letter from us in the post, is a good example of how the call of God’s word isn’t fussy about the medium. continue reading

Sis. Annette is missed greatly in Jamaica and by many in different parts of the world.  She fell asleep in the Lord on Sunday, April 5, 2015 at the age of 44.  She was a life-long member of the May Pen Ecclesia in Jamaica.  Her parents are Brother Melvin and Sister Gerzel Gordon of the same ecclesia, as is her husband Brother Patrick Johnson.  Patrick and Annette have 3 children – Kharma 15, Nogomo 13 and Akilah 7 (see attached family photo taken early this year). continue reading

It was a long, dark drive to the camp site at Bishop Swaby Camp in Negril, nonetheless we enjoyed the long journey as we were eager to ‘meet and greet’ once again with youths from across the island. The secluded venue was perfect for getting away from it all, on order to spend time learning about the Word of God as well as enjoying the company of each other and the natural environment. continue reading

As had been announced, the Ecuador ecclesia celebrated its 7th annual Bible School this last February, gathering together brethren and sisters from this country with others from North, Central and South America. Taking advantage of the Carnaval 4-day weekend, the South American ecclesia took on the teachings of Revelation chapters 2 and 3, along with the books of the Kings of Israel and Judah. continue reading

It was indeed a pleasure to speak at the year-end bible school, where approx. 20 members and young people from Ecclesias around Jamaica met at the Kendal Camp and Conference Centre in Manchester. The theme was extracted from the teachings of the Apostle Paul in regards to what does God require of us and leading up to the various roles of each member and Reflection Time. The setting could not be more comfortable, 80 breezy degrees during the day and a cool 70 at night. continue reading

As we read the many wonderful reports and articles written for the Bible Missionary Magazine, we realize there are so many brethren and sisters who are in such difficult circumstances, but our Heavenly Father is caring for them and guiding their lives in a way that is beyond our comprehension. God’s care is evident through life changing events helps us to realize how much we all need the Lord in our lives. continue reading
