TIME TO REJOICE AND CELEBRATE JAI'S GOOD REPORT

I  just got a call from Jai as he finished his check-up at the hospital. The doctor was happy to report that the doctor in the jungle hospital did exactly what was needed and the treatment worked. The tests today showed NEGATIVE for malaria and dengue fever. Jai has two more days of pills and then is just to rest and go back in two weeks to be rechecked to make sure all is well. We are so grateful to God, our great physician. The throne of heaven was flooded with prayers for his healing and God answered our prayers. 

In the jungle, his fever was so high, he was delirious. He tried to jump out of the moving truck, pulled a poster off the wall at the hospital and pulled out his IV line. He remembers none of that. What a blessing that a pastor who lived near the hospital stayed with him until Tony and Alex got back.

Jai told me something that I didn't know before. On Friday night, they had the Celebration Service before Jai got real sick. The next morning, Saturday, is when they drove him several hours to the hospital. Tony and Alex drove back several hours on Saturday to gather their things but before they packed up, they had a second evening of Celebration Service. Now that shows me how dedicated our team is.  In the crisis, they went ahead and proclaimed the good news of the Gospel and then drove back to the hospital to be with Jai before the 7 am flight that became a noon flight because the weather prevented them from leaving.

Last month, as part of their ministry, our team went into a mining camp to share the gospel and that is where the mosquitoes were very bad. Jai said that is where he got both diseases. There is now a malaria prevention shot that they just found out about and all three of our team will get it. It lasts two years. 

The prayer request now is that Jai's appetite will return. He is having trouble eating. Also, it will be hard for him to rest for two weeks. Please pray he will.IT IS A GREAT DAY AND I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR JAI, TRACY AND OUR TEAM!!!!!!!

May Trip Canceled When Jai Got Sick in the Jungle

Dear Friends,

I have some very sad news. When our team got to the village for the May ministry, Jai soon got very sick with a high fever. On Saturday, Tony and Alex took him to the hospital in the jungle that was several hours away and he was diagnosed with malaria and dengue fever. He was very sick and couldn't eat or drink anything. After getting some bags of saline, he got a little better. Tracy was able to get them flights out for Sunday morning so a pastor who lives near the hospital stayed with Jai while Tony and Alex drove the hours back, loaded up the gear and drove the hours back. They arrived back at the hospital about 10:00pm and stayed with Jai until the 7:00am flight. The rain was too heavy to fly so they had to wait until noon to leave. Jai got home to Berbice and to Tracy at about 3:00 this afternoon (Sunday) and is resting with the help of strong medication. He will go to the hospital in Berbice in the morning for them to set up his treatment plan. He will be able to be at home. Please pray for complete healing and comfort. 

We know this didn't come as a surprise to God and that even though we don't understand why certain things happen, we can trust HIM ALL THE TIME and HE CAN USE ANYTHING THAT ENTERS OUR LIVES. There is still a lot of work to do in Guyana and I know Jai will want to get back to it. Please pray he doesn't try to rush it and will give himself time to get well and strong.Thank you all for your concern for Guyana and for our team.

Love, Beth

April River Trip Prayer Request

Hello Ministry Friends,

This request is coming from Beth because Jai's email isn't working so he asked me to write this request for him. Tomorrow, he and Tracy and Wayne will be leaving on the April trip to the jungle. They will go to five river villages where they will do 9 nights of Celebration services and one Sunday morning service. Please pray for safety, good health and that many will come to accept Jesus and those who already know Him will grow closer to Him. You noticed that Tracy is going rather than Tony. Tony's sweet wife, Ruby, had a tragedy in her family as he brother died a few days ago. Of course, Tony will stay home with her. They couldn't change the trip because of the airline tickets being purchased. Please pray for Ruby's family. Her father is a pastor.

I will be excited to write again and share what God does the next ten days.

Beth



Update and Ministry Opportunity

Dear Friends,

I hope each of you had a blessed Easter, celebrating our Risen Savior and the finished work of the salvation plan. His love and forgiveness is what we want to spread all over Guyana.


I want to let you know several wonderful things that have been happening. Prison Fellowship has provided 2,200 Bibles for us and they are especially made for prisoners, giving footnotes that explain how the truths in the Bible highlight redemption and powerful second chances. 200 of the Bibles are Spanish since we sometimes encounter prisoners from Venezuela. Thank you Prison Fellowship.


There is a region in Guyana that our team has been visiting a lot lately. The villages are all on the rivers. The bi-vocational pastors from thirteen of the villages have asked Jai if they can come under the authority of our ministry for accountability and help in growing and maturing. We are thrilled and have helped several of them build church buildings. One village is fairly large but many of the people in the area live up to five miles away and can't get to church. The people of this villages decided they want to have a boat ministry (like our churches sometimes have bus ministries). They have built a boat themselves and needed a motor because the current is strong. The people there have large gardens and all pitched in and gave part of their crops to take to a town to sell them. They have corporately saved $1500 of the $3000 needed for the motor. Praise God, Carmel Baptist agreed to give them the other $1500 so now they can get their motor and start reaching many more people and growing their church. We pray for many salvations and a lot of solid growth.


This summer, pastor from Bluffton, SC will be going down the river with our team to train these 13 pastors. We are so grateful for Carl Martin, Pat and Kay Jones' pastor whose passion is training pastors. We will let you know when the trip is planned so you can pray specifically.


The next opportunity involves you who pray and give. Guyana is building a large prison to replace the one that burned several years ago. Our friend/warden, Deoraj, will be in charge. The government did not include a chapel/education facility. When the prison near Jai's home needed a chapel, Deoraj was the warden there and asked Jai if our ministry would build it. Many of you helped us with that project. We bought the materials and under Jai's leadership, the prisoners built it and it was dedicated with a plaque by the door showing it was donated by our ministry. We have the opportunity to do that again at the new prison. It will cost $10,000 for the materials. We are asking you to pray about giving to this chapel building project. We will use this special building every week. If you want to give, it is tax deductible and checks can be made out to:


International Celebration Assn. and mailed to:


6277 Carolina Commons Dr.

Ste 600, #135

Indian Land, SC 29707


Please note that is a new address.


Thank you all for being friends of what God is doing in Guyana.
