June 18 - July 2 ------- July 9 If your congregation has a group that would like to participate in a campaign please contact Jerry. ********************************************************************************** Results from the March 2012
trip:
Baptized Restored Weddings New Congregations
21 3 0 1 at Kradaur Village
This was the first visit to
this village. There would have
been better results but unforeseen circumstances caused the trip to be cut
short.
**********************************************************************************
Twenty-four Americans, 1 Trinidadian
and a host of Guyanese Christians have worked the past two weeks in Moruca Village and Moraikobai
Village. Twenty-nine precious souls were baptized into Christ. InMoraikobai Village, 35 Christians were restored to
their first Love. Guyana Bible Correspondence School was instituted
with 85 young people in the secondary school and other villagers in Moruca enrolling.
The school will be based in New Amsterdam, Guyana.
Due to a blood clot a week
before the trip, Jerry was delayed getting to Guyana, but as soon as his
blood test on Thursday was performed and his blood was declared satisfactory
with taking coumadin and 9 injections, he was on
the plane on Friday morning July 1 on his way to Moruca
Village. The team members did not know he was coming so it was quite a
surprise (as he planned!) when he walked into
the village on Saturday afternoon at 5:00.
Happy Birthday to Brother
Tom Holland on Sunday, July 10. On July 11, Tom will be on his way to
Guyana, where he will speak to the students graduating from Guyana Christian
University on July 13.
Five team members will
stay behind when the group returns to America on Monday, June 11. They
will fly to Lethem, Guyana on Tuesday with Brother Holland for the
graduation.
Thank you for your prayers
and interest in this magnificent work. What a blessing to be
involved!! God speed to all and to all the team members who have worked
so hard, and made a tremendous impact on the Guyanese people.
Dear Brethren, We had a good trip to Guyana in February and March, 2011. We had a team of 8 Americans, two brethren from Trinidad, and several of the Guyanese Christians with us. We conducted a Campaign for Christ in Yupukari Village located 300 miles south of Georgetown in Region Nine, and six people were baptized. A church building and preacher’s house are currently under construction. Our mission team also went into Moruca Village in Region One, located in the northwest part of Guyana. We worked there for five days, holding services at night, and conducting Bible studies and visiting during the day. The Lord’s Church was established in Moruca Village with nine baptisms. There is great potential in this area, because there are several villages with a population of 14,000. There is a secondary school inMoruca Village with 742 students. There is a government sponsored elementary school in every village. When children finish the sixth grade, they are given an exam. Those passing are allowed to go to a secondary school and the rest have to leave school and learn a trade. What this means is that the best students from Region One are enrolled in this school in Moruca Village as boarding students. The purpose of this letter is to tell you of our plans to set up an Amerindian Missions Bible Correspondence School. This School will be operated within the country in order to save time and money that would be involved if it were done from the States. This presents an ideal situation for teaching the Gospel to these students, so that when they return to their home village, they will take the Truth with them. This same situation exists in every region, and in time, we hope to expand our efforts into other secondary schools. We are asking you to make a contribution of whatever amount you feel you can give for funding Amerindian Missions Bible Correspondence School to teach the Gospel to hundreds of young people in Guyana. Please make your check to Amerindian Missions, and send to the address in the letterhead. We have asked Violet Clarke, who lives in New Amsterdam, Guyana to serve as the secretary in grading and mailing the correspondence courses. She has been a Christian for over 15 years, and has gone with us on many mission trips in the Amerindian villages, faithfully serving as our cook. We will be using the World Bible School Correspondence Courses, which we plan to take to Guyana in June, 2011, and personally enroll the students to get the School started in Moruca Village. We are looking forward to a great mission trip June 27–July 11, 2011 in Moruca Village and Moraikobai Village. Our mission team members will form two teams, with one team going into Moraikobai Village, to conduct a Vacation Bible School and have evangelistic services each night. The other team will go into Moruca Village to conduct an evangelistic campaign. On July 13, 2011, we will conduct our second graduation at the Guyana Christian University in Lethem with ten men graduating. Brother Tom Holland, President of the school will be the main speaker at the graduation ceremony. Thank you sincerely for your continued support in preaching the Gospel to the Amerindians of Guyana, South America. May God continue to bless you as you strive to live the Christian life and…to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35). Because He Came we go, Jerry Olin Davidson **************************************************************************
