Drabenstott & Sis Lauren Ghent helping out with the lessons, and "aunty Leona" spoiling them with quality cooking and special treats in the kitchen.

We had a jam-packed week planned for them – 3 classes every day; with Bre Matt & Michael leading the oldest group in a variety of studies, Lauren exploring the prophet Elijah with the middle group & myself exploring ways to "preach without using words" with the youngest kids. To set the tone for each day every morning started with a short devotional message before breakfast.

In the afternoons we had some friendly competition & lots of laughter completing an obstacle course, competing in a volleyball tournament, finding all sorts of objects in our biblical treasure hunt, and on those days that the weather permitted, enjoying some time in the pool.

Darkness falling didn't slow the pace – we spent the first evening playing all sorts of games (nothing beats fun & laughter for breaking the ice!), and the second evening was dedicated to praising God through singing and reading passages of praise from the Bible. Our last evening included a talent show, a quiz relating to the lessons of the last few days, and ended with a slide show of pictures taken during the camp.... This camp really gave us all a little taste of what it will be like when "all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."Lilandi.

Six of us were privileged to help "Network of Caring" assemble 35 wheelchairs that will God Willing be given to needy people later this month. We spent 2 hrs & had fun working with other people who, also, want to make a difference. The wheelchairs are really nifty and robust and have already changed lives in the world in recent years.

Open-Air Meetings

We were happy to conduct yet another series of open-air meetings – the third for this year, on the drive-way of Bro & Sis Harilall of Eccles. By God's grace the rains held up and allowed the support of many Brethren and Sisters.

Cottage Meetings

During the last quarter, three such meetings were held at the home of Bro Rasheed Khan and Sis/wife Mohanie, at Glasgow Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice. All were well attended and included a few zealous 7th Day Adventists who were quite surprised to learn why keeping the 7th day Sabbath is no longer obligatory for our salvation. We look forward to continuing these sessions in the new year, God willing.

Ruimveldt Children's Aid Centre

This is a charitable organization designed to help underprivileged children in a very depressed part of the city of Georgetown. It has much potential as a preaching channel, not only through its functioning Sunday School which has about 60 students, but as a corridor for the gospel to reach their parents as well.

Though legally speaking, it is a private Charity, in reality it has always been primarily a Christadelphian concern. It originated as a brainchild of a Christadelphian – Sis Jean Martin, a Guyanese who has been residing in the UK for several decades now, and who by the grace of God, undertook this mighty challenge around the year 1991

The Centre is operated as an afternoon learning exercise where each child, in addition to tuition in basic academic subjects, receives a free
