In early October I went to Haiti to visit Gironald Julien, a friend I have known since 2010. Our paths would not normally have crossed except for the fact that Gironald, along with his wife Esther, had travelled to Ecuador in 2010 as refugees in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of 200X that left so many homeless. My family and I spent a few months in Ecuador during 2010/2011 and were introduced to Gironald and Esther, who were renting a room from the grandparents of my wife Maribel. continue reading

It’s hot and humid, you’re in a hall with basic facilities miles from the closest ‘civilization’. You’re suffering from lack of sleep and surrounded by arguments.

The challenges that face a small group of isolated brethren is well illustrated in Santiago, Chile. 3 or 4 brethren dotted around a city of 6 million people need to be well coordinated to maintain regular contact. Over the last couple of months of 2014 visits by Brothers Rubén Barboza from Argentina, Nigel Fletcher from Melbourne, Australia, Robert Alderson from New Zealand, Sisters Anne Aucott and Cynthia Miles from England, and Hipólito López from Temuco in the south of Chile have been a stimulus for this small group. continue reading

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Tim 4:2). There is the command. So we go: at home and abroad. We go quietly, with a word spoken in due season to the tired. We go with the timeless trumpet, “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” The fresh young face goes with the energy of youth, the seasoned veteran with the wisdom of experience. We go alone, in pairs or groups. We meet others along the way; some stay for a moment, some for a while. Their memories remain with us when they leave, and we are not the same. continue reading

One of the 2014 Truth Corps stops was at the ecclesia in Mt. Grace, Tobago. It was the final week of the four week tour and you might expect that the team would be getting a bit weary after spending three weeks on the road; two weeks in Guyana and one week in Norfolk, Virginia. To the contrary, the team was still going strong as they began their work in Trinidad and Tobago. continue reading
