The Honorable Juliana Yvonne O’Connor-Connolly assumed the role of Premier of the Cayman Islands last November, which is the head of government, a position similar to a prime minister. However, to many of our church people in Cayman Brac and Grand Cayman, she is known as Sis. Juliana, a faithful church member and leader who assists with preaching as needed. A list of her accomplishments begins with a teaching career and a law degree. In 1996 she won her first elected position

We are grateful for the continued leadership of Gayle and Micki Woods as pastor in Cayman Brac. Some recent highlights include: Dr. Woods baptized a new convert on the first Sunday in January. The young man, Sebastian Brown, was saved during a Sunday school class at Watering Place. The baptismal service was held at the high school swimming pool, and members from both churches attended. Church members have been challenged to read their Bibles through in 2024. Two members, in

The older two boys, Lawrance II and Amaziah, were ab

Each fall we bring to you an appeal for the Annual Harvest Offering for World Missions. This year, we are excited to tell you about two projects that are worthy of your support. Since the first graduating class in 2004, Shiloh Bible College in Myanmar has trained many church planters and Christian workers. However, the Bible college has always met in rented facilities. This year they have begun new construction—their own building on their own land. The plan is to build four f

In fact, when missionary Jere Gowin first went to the village leaders in 2010 to ask permission to minister, he was told, in effect, “No, thanks. We’re happy with our idol.” That sentiment changed, however, through the witness of a man named Bakuri. Bakuri was the first believer in the village of Gurumbelle.
