Guyana Mission Work

The Lord's Church in Every Village, and a Bible in Every Hut
There were one hundred seventeen baptisms in 2008. The Sand Creek Church building and preacher's house, and the Parisha Church building were completed. Also construction was started on the Church building and preacher's house in Aishlton. The church at Hillview helps support the ongoing mission work in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana. Below are some items of interest about the country and the work that is being done by our brethren.

The shaded area on the map at the left shows the country of Guyana (proper name: Co-operative Republic of Guyana) and its proximity to other South American Countries. Its main language is English, so this is a blessing to gospel preachers who travel from the United States to teach the citizens of that land.
