Good Morning Friends of Guyana,
Jai's email isn't working again so I am sending the report for him and it is another wonderful one. They went to two villages in the savanna and three in the rivers. There were 197 salvations. Praise God!!!! Also, they were there for the dedication of a new church building that our ministry helped build at one of the river churches. The people from Canal Bank raised a good portion of the money themselves. They paid $2,000 and we paid $3,000. It is such a blessing to know how invested they were to raise that amount of money out of their very meager funds. It was thrilling for Jai and Markey to get to be there for the celebration of the new church building. Thank you all for praying for God's work in Guyana.
Dear Friends of Guyana.
Before I give you the daily prayer guide for pastor training, I want to let you know of a current need that has just presented itself. On the last trip to the river villages, our old Honda generator that we have used for years died. Steve said he is shocked at how many years it has lasted under the harsh conditions and with bad gasoline. It will cost $1,400 to replace it. If God lays it on your heart to give toward this purchase, it is tax deductible. Please make checks out to:

Now for the Information on the Pastor Training Trip……
Please pray for this upcoming trip. Carl Martin is going for another pastor training trip. We are so grateful for the commitment Carl has made to go every six months to train pastors in the remote villages of Guyana. Besides being a wonderful teacher, he is so relational with them that the pastors feel they can discuss any issues they are facing. Steve Puckett will be going with him to the Savanna. Here are the dates that you can pray specifically for the trip. They will be joined by our staff, Michael and Leon on this trip to Region 9 near Brazil in the Savanna. Jai and Markey will be doing a trip to Region 1 near Venezuela in the river villages this same week. Please pray for them as well.
SATURDAY, January 31—Carl and Steve will travel to Guyana, Carl leaving from Savannah and Steve from Charlotte. As they are leaving, there is a prediction of ice and snow. Please pray they can get to the airport with no problems and that the the flights will be on time. They will arrive at 11:15pm and stay at a hotel close to the airport.
SUNDAY, February 1—Our four Guyanese staff along with Carl and Steve have gotten permission to go into the Women’s Prison at 9:00 to do a Sunday service. Our Guyanese team will lead praise and worship music and Carl will preach. There is one inmate who has a wonderful voice and loves to sing praises to God so I imagine she will also sing. Thankfully we have a great relationship with the prison authorities because they don’t often allow people in on Sundays. Please pray that the women will be encouraged to walk closer to God and for those who don’t have a relationship with Him, that Sunday will be the day of their salvation.
MONDAY, February 2—This will be a travel day in two directions. Jai and Markey will go to Region 1 to the Savanna. They will go to three villages to do Celebration Services as well as share used clothing, flip flops, reading glasses and Bibles. One village they will visit has a pastor who is a part of our pastor training. Their church building was too small and in disrepair. The cost of building a new church was $5,000 because they had to have a zinc roof. The members of the church saved up money and paid $2,000 themselves from selling what they had grown. That left $3,000 for our ministry to pay to finish the church. We are so grateful to see their dedication to wanting to grow their congregation and working hard to help build their church.
Michael and Leon will fly with Carl and Steve to the Savanna. Twelve pastors from this region will also travel on Monday to reach Lethem, the main town in the region. To let you know how remote that is, the population of the largest town is only 1,740. Our team and the pastors will stay in a hotel in Lethem and do their training there instead of in a village. It will be a treat for the pastors to get to do that. Pray that as they gather, there will be sweet fellowship and great anticipation for the training that will start the next morning.
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, February 3, 4, 5—These are the training days. There will be three sessions each day.
9:00-10:45
11:00-12:30
Lunch 12:30-1:30
1:45-4:00
This may seem like very little break time but I assure you, the pastors want it that way. They are hungry for Carl’s teaching and always beg for more. During these sessions, there will be a lot of discussion and interaction.
Carl will be teaching on:
Abiding with Jesus and Leading Ourselves (John 15)
Equipping and Shepherding Our Leaders (1 Peter 5)—Making Disciples by the ABIDE method
A-Align with the methods and model of Jesus
B-Biblically driven in life and sermon preparation
I-Intentionally develop leaders
D-Disciple-making by modeling and implementing a set process
E-Environment that encourages growth as a disciple
Finally, Shepherding, Equipping and Leading Others (Ephesians 4) Equipping the Body by Feeding, Leading, Loving, Serving and Sending them.
Please pray that the teaching will be clear and meaningful and impactful. May each pastor learn and grow so he can lead his flock.
FRIDAY, February 6—The pastors will travel back to their villages and our team will fly back to Georgetown. They will have a little rest and a final dinner then head back to the airport. The flight back home is shortly after midnight.
SATURDAY, February, 7—Carl and Steve’s flight home leaves at 12:55am. Please pray for a good travel day and wonderful memories of what God has done during the week.
Thank you for praying for God to supply these pastors with renewed zeal as they serve their congregations.

Hay ministry friends greetings and happy new year to you
As you know we went to the savanna and river villages for our mission trip
Both teams are back safely and we had a great trip we had 210 persons give there life to Jesus christ
Thanks for your prayers and support we are off to a good start and with your prayers and support we look forward for a great year
God bless you Jai
Jai's email isn't working so I will let you know what he told me. Tomorrow, both teams will be leaving for the first trips of 2026. Jai and Markey will go to Region One to the river villages and will go to three villages. Michael and Leon will go to Region Nine in the savanna. They will drive the new truck full of supplies. They will serve two villages this month. Thank you for praying for many to receive Jesus as their Savior.
I have a new need that has come to our attention. Pastor Clifford at Canal Bank in Region One has a need for a motor for his boat. If he could get one, he would use it to go up and down the river to pick up people who are prospects for his church. He would love to reach more people this way. If you feel God leading you to give, the cost would be $1700 and donations are tax deductible. You can give by check made payable to:

Dear Friends of Guyana,
This week our staff went to every prison in Guyana and gave each inmate a gift as well as giving them Christmas cheer with music and a message of why Jesus was born. I am sure you will rejoice with us as we heard the news that 26 inmates accepted Christ as their Savior this week. Praise God for continuing to reap a harvest in Guyana.
The salvations in 2025 were 2,259.
The total salvations in Guyana over our 20 year ministry reached 36,186. Many of you have been our friends since we started and so many have joined us as prayer partners year after year. We are grateful for each of you who support us in prayer and going and finances. May you have a blessed Christmas and we look forward to seeing what God will do in 2026.
Love, Beth
Jai’s email isn’t working so he asked me to send their prison schedule out for him. They will give every inmate a gift as well as doing Christmas carols and a Christmas message. Please pray for decisions to be made for Christ…..
Tomorrow we go to the newanserdam prison
Thursday we go to the lusignan prison morning and women's prison in the afternoon
Friday we go to the mazaruni prison
Dear Friends of Guyana,
Today is called GIVING TUESDAY and I want to take this time to thank all of you who have faithfully given to God’s ministry in Guyana. Some of you will be doing “end of year” giving and I wanted to let you know of our needs in case God touches your heart to help us serve the Guyanese people.
I will list our current needs and pray that some of them will stand out to you as you consider helping us. We are very careful to use God’s money very prudently.
We purchase flip flops every six months to take to the remote villages and to give the inmates on our yearly mission trip.
***$2,500
We need $600 each month for our 2 visits to Mazaruni Prison that requires a hotel stay and renting a boat to reach the prison.
***$600 per month
Tooth paste to give the inmates in the large men’s prison where our team will go in March.
***$2,500
Tooth brushes to give the inmates in the large men’s prison where our team will go in March.
***$1200
Roman Road tracts to use this year.
***$200
Purchase of beads and spools of leather strapping to make salvation bracelets to give to each inmate and child.
***$300
Each month, our staff of 4 head out in two different directions, two going to the savannah near Brazil and two going to the river villages near Venezuela. Each team goes to three villages so a total of 6 villages served. Each trip costs #3,500 so a total of $7,000 per month.
***$7,000
Gifts are tax deductible.

Rejoice with us!!!! I just heard from Jai and this week, our four staff went to four prisons and there were 10 more salvations. Please pray that these new brothers and sisters in Christ will grow in their faith and knowledge as our team goes back to teach and disciple. We are so grateful.

Dear Friends of Guyana,
Thank you for remembering us on our recent trip. It was a WONDERFUL trip as we spent quality time with our staff and their families. We were able to go see Kaieteur Falls which is the longest single-drop waterfall in the world, three times higher than Niagara Falls. What a blessing to be able to see God's handiwork and except for Jai, non of our staff had seen it. We had a great time and were able to share the plan of salvation with our three tour guides who were from all over Guyana
We were able to meet our new staff person, Leon, whose first day with us is today, October 1. He and his family joined us for Steve's birthday dinner where all our staff brought their children so we could all enjoy a time together. Leon and Ashley have a four year old son, Michael and Vanessa have a five month old daughter. Markey and Deanna have an eleven year old daughter, nine year old son and a six year old son. (years may not be exactly accurate but close) haha.
Another day we had a wonderful time of planning, suggestions to fine tune our ministry and prayer. After that, a card game broke out so after pray and cards, we feel like we are starting to get to know Leon. haha.
Steve had a few very positive meetings with governmental staffers concerning businesses he is working on so more Guyanese can have jobs God was so good to provide him with those opportunities.
Our travel was smooth and everyone stayed healthy. Tracy and Jai were perfect hostess and host and we had a fantastic trip. We are so blessed and can't wait to continue serving together.
Blessings, Beth
Dear Friends,
Please pray for Steve and me as we leave tomorrow and will come home on
Saturday. This is different from any other trip we have made because it is not a normal mission trip. We are going to have a staff retreat. This week, we just added our fourth staff, Leon, and we will get a chance to meet him. We will have time to do planning together, praying together, and playing together. We will be able to spend time with the children of our staff. It is going to be so much fun and hopefully encouraging for our wonderful team who work so hard and tirelessly to share the good news of Jesus.
Love, Beth
Praise God......We are thrilled about what God did in the four prisons:
New Amsterdam Prison had 2 Salvations.
The Women's Prison was special after our team not being able to go for 2 years. If you remember, two of our staff wives, Kay and I went there recently and had 5 salvations. The team was able to go in the afternoon and 68 of the women were available to come to the service. There were 6 salvations.
Lusignan Prison had 4 salvations.
Mazaruni Prison had 2 salvations and they baptized 6. There were more men who had accepted Jesus and wanted to be baptized but they were in court yesterday so they will be baptized later.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers for God's ministry in Guyana.
Blessings, Beth
