Steve's Report from the February Pastor Training Trip

/

We had a great week in Guyana with Jai, Tony and Alex (our Guyanese team) and Pastor Carl, Chase his intern and me.

We had a worship service in the prison on Monday with twenty-five men indicating that they accepted Christ. We distributed Bibles to the men that did not already have one. The Officer in Charge then took our team on a tour of the new prison that is being built to replace the one that burned in Georgetown several years ago. The new prison should be completed this calendar year. The Government had requested that our ministry build a Chapel at the new prison site. The Officer in Charge showed us the location for the chapel and it is in the center of the entire compound. The other chapel we built in the New Amsterdam Prison seats about 100 but the request is that this new prison chapel seat 300! We have already raised $10,000 for this project but that was when we thought it would  be a 100 seat chapel. We will have to reprice the materials needed. The labor to build the chapel will be provided by the prisoners. The chapel will be a concrete construction structure. Our team will use this new chapel three times per month for services.

Tuesday was a travel day. We took our 15 passenger van loaded with our supplies for the week and our temporary kitchen and headed out for the ferry. After about two hours we arrived at the terminal for the ferryboat and got in line to wait. The ferry was on time, amazing. We drove our van onto the ferry and had a two hour ride to our next offload point. Then we drove for another two hours to a marina in Charity where we met Rodney, our speedboat captain and his father. We loaded our gear and set off on a 4.5 hour speedboat ride. We went by river into the Atlantic Ocean and then back into the river system. Then we entered a creek that is is called The Ninety Nine because there are 99 turns until it merges back into another main river where our conference church was located. There are floating islands of vegetation along The Ninety Nine and sometimes they block travel and you have to force the boat though these passages. Other boats had already been on his passage and had cleared the way for us thankfully. We arrived at the Church and set up for our training sessions. There was no electricity at the site because the Chruch’s generator was on the blink. We had flashlights and and an LP two burner cooker (that Jai had made) and it worked great. Who needs electricity?

Wednesday morning we began the pastor training, three sessions each day. We had 35 people including our team of six, the 13 pastors and other leaders from the churches. Carl did a masterful job in teaching the pastors. We introduced them to the teaching aids from ICM and how they can be used in both small groups and worship services in their churches. To say they were excited would be an understatement. On Thursday, Chase taught them the three circles as a method of spreading the gospel and I taught them the five bead bracelet method we have historically used in Guyana. The pastors asked for the bracelets for their congregations so they can teach each member how to share their faith in their communities and we showed them how to download the three circle app for their smart phones. They are looking forward to training their members.

Friday Carl asked them about any issues or questions they had. Through this conversation we discovered that some of the churches did not have the Lord’s Supper (Communion) because they did not understand the significance and were concerned about the warnings in the New Testament about this ordinance in the church. Carl went thought the scriptures and taught them the background and explained the way this should be done with their congregations. We then had communion with loaf bread and orange drink. The video (I snuck and took it) of their prayers out loud confessing their sins was so moving. This was a real highlight of the trip.

The relationships being developed between our team and these pastors will pay significant benefits for the expansion of the Gospel in Guyana for years to come.

On Saturday, we repeated the trek back to Georgetown and returned home on Sunday.

I was thrilled to get to be with our Guyanese staff and see how dedicated and effective they are. It was the first time I had met Alex and am so thankful to have him as part of our team.

Thank you for praying for this trip. We are grateful for your partnership with God’s ministry in Guyana.

Monday-February 13—The first ministry opportunity will be at the prison. There will be praise and worship service where Carl Martin will preach a message that will encourage believers and challenge those who haven’t made a decision for Christ yet. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to move in a powerful way. For any who accept Christ, baptism will be available if they choose to take that step.

Tuesday-February 14—All day travel day….Drive the van to the river and drive it onto the ferry….Ferry ride then get off and drive to Charity.

***Life management (personal life)

***Conflict management

***Church Government

***Evangelism- how to effectively witness

***Financial —managing church finances

Please pray each day for the Holy Spirit to speak through Carl as he teaches and for Chase and Steve as they mentor and discuss the truths of the Word with these 13 very special leaders. Please also pray for fun and laughter to be a part of the time together.

There will be time to interact with the people in the village and to play with the children. Last July, friendships were forged within this group that were meaningful and ongoing. They continue to pray for each other and know that they have community within the group

Saturday-February 18—The pastors will travel back home, many having long journeys. Our team and staff will begin the long trek back by boat, road and ferry. Please pray for safety as the pastors and our team travel home.

Sunday— February 19—Travel back to the US.

One exciting development has to do with another ministry we have been able to partner with, International Cooperating Ministries (ICM). They provide wonderful, simple foundational Bible teaching that can be accessed on devises that they will provide for the pastors. They can be powered by solar energy. There are 90 lessons on the Old Testament, 90 lessons on the New  Testament, and lessons on Family Life and on the Sermon on the Mount. This wonderful ministry also helps locals build churches when needed. We are thrilled to be partnered with them as of last week. God’s timing continues to blow us away!!!

Thank you for praying….

January Village Trip Prayer Request

/

Good evening ministry friends,

Jai's email isn't working so he asked me to write you and ask for prayer for this trip. They are leaving this evening to drive to Georgetown and then have a very early morning flight to the savanna. They will be going to three villages and do two nights of Celebration services at each. In the daytime, they will have a gathering for the people in the villages to give them used clothing, Bibles, flip flops and if they need them, reading glasses. Please pray for safety and for God to do a mighty work in these villages, drawing many to Himself.

These villages are twice as large as the river villages they have been working in so we need twice the amount of used clothes. Please let me know if you have some to donate and we can meet somewhere to collect them. Just respond to this email if you want to make arrangements to meet up.

Thank you all for your prayers and help in so many different ways.

Beth
