British Guiana

By Mrs. F. E. Kennedy

NEW AMSTERDAM.—For the past five years my husband and I have been engaged in mission work among the Indians of the Essequibo. Although the enemy tried in every way to hinder our work, yet we can rejoice that many souls from among this people were brought to a knowledge of the third angel's message, for which we praise the Lord.
In January of this year we were asked to make New Amsterdam, Berbice, our field of labor; and consequently on the twenty-fourth of that month we, with heavy hearts, bade farewell to our brethren and sisters, and took our departure.
We arrived in New Amsterdam on the morning of the twenty-sixth, and took up our work with courage and enthusiasm. The field is a very large one, with many churches and companies. For many years Satan has been very active in this part of the vineyard; but we praise the Lord that some of our people are determined, with the help of God, to press the battle even to the gates of the enemy. There is need of more consecrated workers, who will look away from the difficulties and hardships of the way, and come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty. Daily many precious souls for whom Christ died are passing into eternity without a knowledge of this precious truth. Who will respond to the Lord's call, as did Isaiah, “Here am I; send me”? We desire the prayers of all our brethren and sisters throughout the world for the work and workers in British Guiana.
MRS. F. E. KENNEDY.
