We are back from Guyana and we had a great time! My mom put together a summary of the trip. Enjoy! The Chosen 300 ministry team of 16 persons including 7 pastors and 9 lay persons were in Guyana, South America for evangelist meetings and food distribution. Each pastor in the team was assigned to a host church and a Guyanese host pastor and was assisted by at least one lay person from the team. Our team ministered to over 800 people at the various churches. Chantal and I were assigned with Pastor Clarence to the Light of Life – Full Gospel church with Pastor Deo and to the Hauraruni Girls Home as our project. I have been supporting the girl’s home for over three years so it was exciting to finally visit the girls and make an assessment of the home. We spent a full day and a half with the girls presenting them with toys, dresses, flip-flops, doing crafts, singing and just hugging. It was hard to say goodbye. These girls will remain in our hearts and prayers. Our stay in Guyana was very hectic with four nights of evangelistic meetings, two days of sorting and distributing food and toiletries and Sunday service. We even travelled to a church in a remote village. We took two buses and crossed two rivers in small speed boats. It was very exciting and scary. The church which is only accessible by boat was filled with over 100 children and adults. The children sang and recited poetry for us. We had a service and Chantal gave the altar call. Several of the children gave their lives to Jesus. After the service, the children ate and then there was much excitement as they received flip-flops and bags of toiletries while the parents received bags of food. The mission trip was a life changing experience for us. Over 150 persons received Jesus as Savior and/or rededicated their lives. Chantal and I had the opportunity to lead in worship and pray for many young people for salvation and other needs. The people were very appreciative of the work Chosen 300 is doing in Guyana. Many lives have been impacted by this ministry as the churches in Guyana that are sponsored by churches in the US receive a monthly supply of food for distribution to the congregation and community. The sharing of food opens the door for the sharing of the gospel in a nation where many are of Hindu or Muslim background. The Guyanese people are very hospitable and generous. The food and toiletries distribution was a success. The children loved the flip-flops. The presence of God was very evident in the genuine worship of the saints. Chantal and I are so grateful for the opportunity to serve, minister in song, pray with the people. The visits to the orphanages were truly the highlights of the trip for me. We were happy to share the love of God with those who needed it most. We will continue to follow-up on the status of the orphanages and to build relationships with the many beautiful people we met. Thanks again for your prayers. It was evident in the fruit of our labor as well as our protection and the unity of the team.
