Missionary Lifework in British Guiana Amid Rain and Resistance
In Suddie British Guiana on May 18 1908 a missionary writes of field work with Mr Fisher under heavy rain tests. He notes preaching via interpreter and in English, baptisms including Annie Etwaria and James Baghloo, and challenges from Hindoo pundits and local authorities. The letter describes crowded services on Wakenaam Island and roadside gatherings, with converts growing despite opposition and land needs for a church. He closes asking readers to remember them in prayer.
