My involvement with Pilgrim Overseas Missionary Society goes back for more years that can be remembered and it was through
that missionary effort the awareness of "Camp Wesleyana" came about.
While being active in the development of Camp Wesleyana as a representative from P.O.M.S. it became increasingly evident of
the needs of other evangelical groups such as Carmel Bible Camp on the Essequibo Coast, Good News Baptist Church in Anna
Regina, Vreed-en-Hoop Wesleyan Church and The Baptist Bible Camp off the Essequibo River and at times some very real
personal needs for schooling etc.
It was out of that awareness and the desire to reach out and help in whatever way we can and with the vision of giving
them a "Fishing Rod" the idea of GUYANA MISSION was born. All the services we provide is simply a gift to enable them to
better manage their resources without any strings attached and across all denominational lines. The stanza of the very
well known song says it better, "All one body we, one in hope and doctrine one in charity"
Our relocation to Florida from New Jersey and the opportunity that was afforded us by the P.O.M.S. mission opened the
door for the start up of the Guyana Mission Outreach Program and while there are times when a fish has to be given
based on the circumstances, giving them a "Fishing Rod" is always better, that is what our mission is about.
