Born again Arawak Indians singing God's praises and giving God glory! God is delighted and desires such worship. This is in Wakapoa, Guyana in the jungles of South America. I was honored to minister God's Word to a church of hungry believers. I stayed with the Chief of Wakapoa who is a dedicated christian. You cannot enter these areas without special permission. I thank God that he opened the doors for me to minister in this remote aera. This church is growing in number and in Spirit. They are now in a new building. They made the bricks themselves from the sand surrounding the church. The church is very close to the river and you must canoe there rain or shine.
By God's grace a few years ago I was able to raise the funds to help put a roof on the new building. The pastor is a man of God, an able teacher, a committed shepherd, a loyal husband, and a father of seven children! We've established a "Christian Lending Library" in this church supplying good, sound godly books for young and old alike.
Most are unemployed and sadly many of the men in the church leave for months at a time to find temporary work while the wives stay at home and take care of the children. All jobs are low paying. Some work for goldmine companies, the hours are long, and the work is very hard. For a Christian man it is a real trial and test to his faith. Away from family and church they lack fellowship and are tempted by the wicked. Malaria, a very dangerous killer disease is prevelant in the areas near the goldmines.
The elderly in Wakapoa who are over 65 years of age, get a pension from the government. It amounts to $9.50 U.S. per month. This is about $0.31 a day! We need to count our blessings and reach out to our poor brothers and sisters in Christ. Life is very hard for them, yet they serve God with joy and are not prone to murmer and complain. They are stong quiet people and are very respectful towards visitors. The children have very few toys and clothes are mostly hand-me-downs. Families worship together at church and Sunday school is outside under the coconut trees.
