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.

Works of Faith appeals spawned from individual brothers, sisters and ecclesias asking us how they can become directly involved in helping the brothers & sisters and ecclesias in mission areas. These projects are above and beyond the normal budgeted items for a missionary country. Works of Faith projects are ideal for a CYC, Sunday School, or a whole ecclesia to adopt. continue reading

For many years, the CBMA has sent correspondence course material to people in Puerto Rico. However, the contacts on this Spanish-speaking island in the Caribbean are an enigma. There has been no response to advertised lectures, phone calls receive a cool answer and acceptance to our appeals to visit in contacts homes is minimal – even from those who answer the course with enthusiasm. continue reading

According to the book by Brother Stanley Owen, “Into all the Word”, the beginnings of the Truth in Guyana goes back as far as the 1890’s.  Following the history of the ecclesias in this country is quite intriguing and encouraging.  continue reading
