We gathered together for two days with 15 of Nadira's family members under her father's house and encouraged those who are Christians to serve the Lord faithfully, challenged those that have gone astray from the Lord, and explained how those who did not know the Lord could have a relationship with Him. Scott preached the gospel and I led the worship. After an hour of worship, we shared a meal together with the family on each day. Not often do we get to meet with family members together. Although some live in other countries and could not be there, it was a blessing to have the majority.
Nadira and I have been missionaries to Suriname since 1989. We have worked among the Guyanese in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training. The Lord has blessed our efforts with the establishing of two Guyanese churches with national pastors. In 2004, we began our ministry with the Hindustani, the least evangelized people of Suriname. We are seeking to establish house churches in the Hindustani communities thorugh making disciples and training nationals.
