Update from French Guiana

Things have been great in French Guiana. We arrived on Thursday, Oct 22 and will be leaving for home on Thursday, Oct 29th.

Our team wrapped up the convention today (Oct 27th).
Dr John Caldwell (IN) did an outstanding job leading most of the men's sessions. Alex Hill (FL) also helped as well as preaching several times in the evening. Danita Clark (OH) held sessions for the ladies and Ryan Hall (OH) gave lessons on music.

I led a workshop on elders on Friday (Oct 23rd) and another one on church leaders on Monday (Oct 26th).
In addition, I've preached three times.
On Saturday night (Oct 24th), I preached at the English-speaking church. The worship was lively & good. My sermon was on overcoming fear (Peter getting out of the boat & walking on water to Jesus). We had a good response with four coming forward for prayer.
On Sunday (Oct 25th), I preached twice at one of the French-speaking churches.

Please keep the English church in your prayers. They have a chance to buy two acres of land just outside of Cayenne. They desperately need a building of their own.

God bless,
Greg Herriford (Teen Mission, USA)
