Sisters Beryl and Eunice live just down the road from the Broughton ecclesial hall in Jamaica, in a small, concrete house with a yard kept trimmed by the resident goats and bordered by a wrought-iron fence. My brother, Dave, and I had just come from a sweltering memorial service in the hall and we stopped by to see how the sisters were doing as it had been a while since we’d last visited Broughton. continue reading

In November of 2024 what started off as an “interesting opportunity” for a preaching campaign in Georgetown Guyana, quickly turned into an extraordinary experience for the proclamation of the gospel for the brethren and sisters of the Demerara Ecclesias. In early October it was announced by the Guyana Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce that the GuyExpo would take place in the local fair grounds in the heart of Georgetown on the weekend of November 14th through the 17th. continue reading

As we shared with you in the November 2023 CBMA/CBMC Newsletter, by the hand of the LORD, many Christadelphian families who have fled Africa as refugees have found themselves spread throughout North America. Some are blessed to be near existing ecclesias, but sadly, others are in isolation. Brothers and sisters, ecclesias and Bible schools have responded to the call to provide pastoral care to those who make a new life so far from the home they know. Four students were baptized in June and were all in the same class over the last two years in classes done over Zoom. continue reading

Our Bible Missions entered 2024, prayerfully, with ambitious plans for new projects and special events. Now into the second half of the year, with thanks to our Heavenly Father, these projects are in full swing. These projects are at the core of Bible Mission values: baptizing individuals, building ecclesias, and preaching the gospel. They attest to the vision and energy of brothers and sisters, both local members and mission volunteers, working together and pursuing preaching and pastoral opportunities. continue reading
