News from the
Mission Field

Our first visit to Jamaica in three years was all about renewal, both of relationships and our own familiarity with the island…and the tasty goat curry, ackee and salt fish, fried plantain and juicy papaya. Bro Nathan and I were joined by his brother, Dave—who along with his wife, Sis Cassie, spent two years living in Jamaica as full-time missionaries, finishing their time there just as the pandemic was getting started. continue reading

When Nathan and I were newly married and venturing into the mission field together (India), we carried with us the romantic notion that one day it would be wonderful to take our as-yet-to-be-realized children with us, to expose them early and often to different cultures and the rigors of travel, and most importantly, to the joys and hard work of missionary life. “When the youngest is five,” we told ourselves, our ignorance blissful. continue reading

We arrived in Avon in late August and really hit the ground running. Because our primary focus was the kids, the first thing we did was to kickstart a junior CYC program, which we now host every Friday evening. We usually hold a class (given by a local brother in person or by a remote brother via zoom) and some activities...oh and food, of course! During the warm and bright months of September and October, we were outside a lot, but now that the weather is cooler we spend most of our time inside teaching them all the card games we know.   continue reading

Following the hiatus in visits and preaching activity due the pandemic and associated issues, I was able to visit the Ecclesia again in November of 2021 (November 7 to Dec. 6) and brother Martin and sister Lois Webster were able to come down on January 3, 2022, and returned on February 20. I followed up with another visit on February 13 through April 11. God willing, my next visit is scheduled for October 29 to December 7. continue reading

Changes are more noticeable after a period of absence, especially with children. The incremental changes from day to day often compound into a dramatic difference. The last 3 years have had their share of change, some of which has been by no means incremental, so, a return to Chile and Bolivia after such an absence bluntly revealed the effects of recent global upheaval. continue reading

Esmath Sainval was planning to be a Protestant minister in Haiti. He graduated from a seminary in Port au Prince, and began working as an Assistant Pastor. But as he continued his Bible study, he came to the realization that Jesus is not God, the Holy Spirit is not the third person of a Trinity, man does not have an immortal soul, and the future true Christian hope is the resurrection from the dead and being part of the Kingdom of God on earth. The only first principle he needed help understanding was the true meaning of the Devil and Satan, and a Christadelphian website helped him understand Bible teaching on this fundamental. continue reading

After much planning and deliberation, leaders and youth circlers from the 3 Demerara Ecclesias started their 2½ - 3-hour journey up to Plegt Anker.  Along the way, they picked up some youths from Light town, to have their much-anticipated weekend camp which ran from Friday 29th July to Monday 1st August, 2022.  continue reading
