Hi Brothers and Sisters,

God Bless!!

We are doing Great in the lord at this time just keeping up with all that took place in the pass few weeks, with us having some brothers holding a Gospel meeting at the Church that went well, well attended and we had four Baptism as a result.

Our children and myself was not well after trying hard to prepare for their coming and I came down with my Blood pressure going up and having a bad cold from being up and down in the rain and some times late going back home from the Building.

We had $17 200,collection in April and this is good and growing some and we also start to have the members see the need to give to special efforts the church is in involved in we collected $8,000 towards buying some blinds the church needs, I had the Ladies use mine for the Gospel meeting time for the while.

The attendance has improved some with the bus now running each week to pick up Christians we are having 30 to 40 coming out now. We had some really good studies in the past few weeks because we were able to get to some with the help of the Bus and Back and it is working, we were able to visit Juliet and Marvis Gomes Talk to them about worship and about them getting married there were from Mattews Ridge where the church is and the girl parents is also members. We visited with Rosey and Chelsie discuss marriage Rosey is a believer, but is living home and husband is working in the Interior so we were only able to meet with them when he comes out, we also studied with Alana a girl with similar problems.
we came in contact with a Family over the death of their daughter and I Did a thanks giving service for them and also got some time to study with the husband Standley and Virgina who is Catholic and was very surprise to know the world out here is so confused with all these church they are from Kituma Village, but his wife is a better Soil to work on she is coming out to learn more, her husband was in a Boat accident and badly hurt to the Head and Face. There is also a Sister Dian having us study with her husband who is J, witness and that is just us planting the seed but her Son Sanyo and daughter-in -law and grand child we had good study and they are coming out to see how we worship and then to make their decision and it’s going to be all at once.

We also had another study with a girl and her Father Nesha and God is working things out she is now living closer to the church and this is because the place where she was living next to a Drugs yard and she has three daughters who came to services last Sunday and was so happy to be apart of the worship,

The visit from our two brothers was great, they also brought some Nice lessons from the word of God and some Medicines and tooth brushes and a tube of Colgate for all the families in the Church this we did give out on Sunday for the christian and During the week for people in the community in all with the help of the members Chad was able to help 180+ persons that week checking Blood pressure as well.

They spoke on the one Church, The Rich young Ruler, The four ships in Philippians, Sin and what it does and was well attended.

We were able to have half of the Church Benches in time for the Meeting and then the other half came the next week ,we now have some fifteen and the building is full. and nice looking and now we need to fill them with People. We had four young people that gave their lives to Christ and a few others want to learn more so that was Good. Christopher Joseph, Winella Cameron , and Nicholas Webster and Amandie Singh.

The Ladies of the Church mostly the older and Faithful ones was taken to Enmore Church of Christ for a Day with the Church Bus and was great and happy to see so much other Christian Sister and had a wonderful Fellowship and a great meal together and we baked cakes in our kitchen and took it with us for snack time before they leave and the men served the sisters and one sister that is qualified with Teens problems spoke to the younger Girls; some fifty was in attendance and all together some two hundred and fifty and more studied and was Praising God together. This was done on Good Friday each year.

I must say a big thanks for all the support for we are seeing the increase that the lords work and all our prayers is doing in Tuschen and how the good Lord is working on using us as tools in his work and Blessing us with much more Growth and we send our Love to all.

In Christian Love Bro Hari -om Persaud.

Dear Mesa family,

Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior,

This small projection for the in Guyana mission’s field will conclude 2010, in December we are planning the host our children parties and Old Years night services.

We are also planning this end of year to have members donate food stuff and old clothing to families that are less fortunate already I have sent our request asking Christians whom can afford to donate to begin preparing their contributions.

In January 2011 I am planning to return to Jawalla Village, in Region 7 of Guyana, this is upward Kubenang River, this Amerindians Village has the Patamona Tribe, two years ago I have already began visiting and teaching which was very rewarding .

The year 2011 I want to spend more time in the Interior, so from January 2011 I am planning to spend one month in Jawalla which will gave me enough time to work and live around the Villagers and get the congregation motivated .

In February 2011 I want to organize a small team from Guyana to help with a Crusade in Jawalla Village this will really help boast the congregation and bring many more souls to repentance.

With revivals crusades and workshop in 2011 will help many Christians with their spirituality and 2011, personally want to help Christians whom faith and spirituality is wavering to become stronger in the work of the Lord.

Mesa Missions Sunday thank you all for you generous hearts.

Thank you all for your prayers.

God Bless!! We are doing great in the Lord.

My family is better health wise, except for me I am still suffering with lots of pain from my kidney stones, and also I fell off a donkey cart I was traveling on one day. I had lots to do in September, My boy started prep school, I went there and People knew I am a minister in the area and this is good for the Church, it is a new building and I was asked to open In prayer there for the first day of school. I am finding more People with open hearts for the Lord, I am studying with a 19year old Dwyane who is single, But very confused with the life he was living and he wants some time to work things out we studied two times.

Another family that we are working with is Thessa and Samanatha her sister-in -law. Both has children and is not married to their partners, but Thessa is willing to make it right, I spoke to him and when he returns from work in the interior(GOLD BUSH) we are going to meet, But in the mean time they are attending and learning about the Church and the worship.

Attendance is picking up some times I come in and People come in slowly and I feel what is happening we did so much work in the week but then people are people, those might stay away and next another set comes and makes me happy to Preach and enjoy the services more and this keeps us up spirited, we just have to plant and God give the increase. I love to plant the seed as you go I enjoy talking to every one I meet, Taxi Drivers, those at the School, shops, on the streets and can have doors open all over. Collection is on the increase also we are giving some more maybe because I have thought some on giving in the pass months. We are having some times $5,000 to $8,000.on some Sundays.

There were two funerals in the months, I Help to do one of them which is that I was just called to help out, the Preacher could not make it he was at work. Brother Woung was 73years old and was very faithful to the Lord. The other Person is a minister from the Church of Christ in the Pomoroon River Ramond Garraway. He had cancer in his head from a accident he was riding his bicycle as I do also and he hit the back of a bus several years and now he is dead. I just pray to God to take me safe on the streets.

We had two marriages in the Church this month Sis Doreen and her Partner Narine was married and Steve and his wife also. When we had our opening of our Building a BRO. David from WBS came and visited Tuschen and several members and Visitors alike was enroll in WBS and people stop me on the street and tell me how happy they are to have this course’s was brought to Christ in 1986,By Bro. Jack Epperson from Florence Alabama.

A congregation From Linden visited us at Tuschen and some 45 persons came and that week we had over 100 persons at services and we prepared Food for them and had a great fellowship; they worked on a local effort with us before in Tuschen. We also celebrated Five years at Tuschen this month, and North Road where I came from Home church is having 28years while I am 25 years come next year in the Church.

On the 30th of Settle GSBS Guyana Bible School, Visited with three other brothers from the USA and the Denham, Ten of us in all working on visiting some new people, follow up and just sharing the Gospel and some 26 homes was visited but no Baptism was a result as yet but I am still working with those who show real interest in the Gospel, it was a wonderful day together. I had one to be Baptized in the Month it was Tonya, a 16 year old girl that gave he life to Christ, It was a great day we were working very long with her she had her share of problems but she working them out and was ready. One thing she told her mom was that she wanted to live in a Christian home and needs the support from her also, her other younger sisters also coming out to learn, very smart little sisters just too young.

We had a great month in the Lord and are looking forward to next month where we at Tuschen is hosting a Grand lectureship On Developing Biblical leadership for the Church, for all Preachers there wives and two faithful members of each congregation in the Country. We are teaming up with GSBS in this venture. It is done every six months and we on the west side never had hosted the work shop before, we can only be able to do this because of out new building.

This is all for now.

In Christ

Greetings to all at Mesa congregation,
 
Our missions to St. Cuthberts was a blessed crusade we have a total of thirty baptism , our youth team have each night over one hundred and eighty attending each night , the youth program was excellent as they were able to reach out to the young people in the Village, they were many youths have became Christians because of the work of the youth program.
 
Each day as our team workers did their door to door evangelism and we also were talking to those Christians who have fallen away, with much encouragement each day and night we were able to persuade them to repent and the end we have an total of twenty seven (27) repented and some renew their committeemen to the Lord "s church.
 
Our nightly crusade had two preachers each night which worked well because the people responded well to the preaching of the gospel.
 
We concluded the St. Cutberts mission and moved on to Kopinang Missions with a smaller team consisted of six preacher , Kopinang Mission is situated 
in the Mountains of Guyana and the only way to get their is by flight , the Amerindians people of Kopinang are very friendly and did responds well to the gospel; we have over a hundred studies .
 
I am returning on Sunday to continue the follow-up studied and worked with those were baptized over the years, and also do a workshop on faithfulness.
 
Thank all you for you support and prayers

Report on the work in Tuschen Guyana.

 God is good!! We are doing great in the Lord!

 I was very busy planning our Medical mission and working to have a very successful meeting and opening of our new Building it all went well by God’s help and I want to say I am sorry for not reporting but it will all get better soon I might have my own computer and internet service .

It is much better after the medical mission is over we have a better attendance at worship and Bible study and even at mid-week Bible study. I can see the vision that we can, I believe it possible with Gods help the Congregation will grow and become a wonderful large Church family in the near future.

I studied with a teacher 20 years old on Sunday after church and in the afternoon he was baptized in to Christ.                      

We had those that became new Christians bring along there husband and mother and such a wonderful willing atmosphere at worship, but I am having a hard time still with lots to do at worship but I will get some help as soon as I Teach and have them get some working knowledge of the work and the scripture. At mid week Bible study after I felt so good I am teaching from the Old Testament. We had 21 adults.

There was some 12-14 that was baptized on the medical mission, we gave out 12 certificates to those that was Baptized, and two did not receive any we have to find those soon.

They saw many people each day some days like 400 and more persons.

I can see transportation in the future can help the church to grow and some times me having easer access to move faster and cheaper from one study to and from homes to homes. We the members walk home and follow each other in the dark. The Church will have a Bus soon. I rode my Bicycle for 19 years faithfully and now in 2010 things will change for the better.

I can see us having a large V.B.S. this year if we work hard at it we have the potential and place to hold it now, some nights we have some 50 children attend. On Monday we are planning to take the youths to Enmore Church of Christ for a day.  Each year some 300 attend and learn; there is a day for the Men and one day for the ladies also. We have been going each year and win some prize some times also. We usually have to hire a bus for $12,000 each time we go as a group.

We are planning to have a Youth group started soon this and others programs will give the Church a better Life opportunity to Grow and do even better.

At the opening of our building

We had some 250 and more in attendance on the opening and 12 more baptism and some six weddings to happen this week. What a great start and so much to look forward to more men in the Church and Families also. 

We are feeling so good to see the fruits of our labors for the past years that some people that we were laying the   ground work for a better brother hood in Tuschen, The People will remain and be strong for it took time for some to make it but when they see the truth from Gods’ word and the Life we live as an example before them they are ready to change, some leaving 14years in some different Churches.  

This will be all for now Pray for us as we do the same, with out your help of support us we could not do all this for the Lord and hope we can continue to spread the Gospel to many more with your continued help and support.

Thanks in Christ,
Fellow worker and Brother,
Hari Persaud

The team for the USA will be coming to Guyana in June the 24^th 2010 and remain for three weeks, we are having our first mission with the USA youths who will be working with the youths in Guyana in Evangelism , we will be in Marakabai Village for that first week .

The Second week we will be going to St. Cuthbert’s Village and the with the same youth programmed that we had conducted in Marakabai Village,

The final week most of the Youth will be returning to the USA and a small team will be flying to Kopinang where we will have a one week mission there.

This week end I am leaving to El Paso and will be working there for a ten days, we will be establishing a congregation there, I have spoken to Bro. David Lusk about El Paso and he had express wellness to assist me there with a crusade sometime this year’s however this will depend if any funds comes his way .
