Guyana Missionary Report

Guyana is a small English-speaking country on the north coast of South America. It was originally a Dutch colony in 17th century, but by 1815, it had become a part of Britain. In 1966, it gained its independence and later became a democracy. Its population is made up of people of African, Indian, European, Asian, and Indigenous descent, making Guyana a very diverse country. Most of the people of Guyana speak English, which has been a great advantage for missionaries introducing Brother Branham’s Message to the people of that country.

We recently received a report from Brother Gideon Dickson, a brother currently living in Trinidad, but often travels to nearby Guyana to introduce Brother Branham’s Message. There are currently about 2,000 believers in that country, but if these brothers and sisters keep up the good work, we expect there to be a lot more. The minister baptizing in the video is Brother Gideon's father-in-law and a pastor, Brother Eugene Isaacs.

POWER FOR THE MP3 PLAYERS

A few months before the arrival of the lighthouse packages, the government of Guyana distributed large solar panels and sealed lead-acid batteries to the Amerindian communities with the intention of making electricity available to every Amerindian household. They didn’t know that they were really putting things in place to allow the believers there to listen to the Message 24 hours a day!

The timing of the packages was perfect for the time of the Jubilee. Now the believers have easy access to all the Messages that Brother Branham preached, with MP3 players and power 24/7.

PRESENT TENSE GOD

God provided electricity in the form of solar panels and batteries in the Rupununi for their MP3 players, so they can hear God’s Voice for themselves. However, God can allow His children to hear His Voice without electricity. He proved this to a sister named Naomi Davis.

She was at home (a humble one room structure with mud walls and leaf roofing) listening to the Message on her brand new MP3 player during the time of the Jubilee. At the end of the sermon, she went to disconnect the player from the battery, only to find that it was not connected in the first place. Puzzled, she checked to player to see if there were batteries inside. When she saw it was empty, she recognized the miracle.

Some time after, Sis Naomi thought that she should take a picture of the MP3 player. As she pointed the camera towards the player, she heard the prophet say:

“I am a little shy of cameras. I like... Go ahead, take them; that's all right. I just watch them; I'm conscious of them. And that's all right; it's all right.”

She almost fainted, only to realize that God was once more vindicating His ministry to be real, present tense and full of power.

Coming down to the end of 2013, Sis Naomi’s MP3 player stopped playing midway a sermon. She knew of a couple of cases where the players began to malfunction like that. They would start playing a sermon, and then cut off before the Message was complete. But she refused to accept that. (She prayed about it and) when she restarted it, it played without a fault.

The believers at Toka are very much kept up to date with the testimonies and articles posted on the websites. They are downloaded, printed, and posted on the notice board. Anyone in the village can visit the website: go to the Big Benhab and browse the notice board!

We will be posting the remainder of Brother Gideon’s report, about the Jubilee sermons, how a brother drove a motorbike without gasoline to the meetings, and how the Young Foundations website is having an unexpected effect on many potential believers, in the days to come.
