| Guyana — Part 1 |
| “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). |
| The village of Karaudarnau (Crăw-dăr-năh) Guyana is down on the very southern tip of the country, and I recently had the privilege of visiting there. I stayed in the humblest of circumstances with a Christian couple who shared what they had and with genuine love showed me some of the finest Christian hospitality I have ever experienced. On the wall at the end of the table in their adobe house with a thatched roof of palm fronds, was the following paraphrase of the above verse of Scripture: |
| Don’t worry about anything, |
| Instead pray about everything, |
| And thank Him for His answers. |
| Each morning as I sat down for breakfast, I reread this text with fresh appreciation. Life is tough amongst the Wapishana (Wăp-ē-shănă) Amerindians, and to live for the Lord is not easy. But I could see that my host and hostess really believed the message of this verse and lived each day in the confidence and joy of the God they faithfully served. |
