            We have 
            been on the field for the last 28 months, the time has passed so quickly, 
            we are very thankful to the Lord and to you for the generous support 
            that we have received. The following is a brief report of our activities, 
            placed in categories for easy understanding and clarity. <

            Nickerie Convention Centre 
            
               
                |   This building 
                    which has a seating capacity of 1000 has been one of the significant 
                    ways that we able to extend our influence in the country, 
                    two weeks ago the President’s wife attended a function 
                    in the building. Since we started using the building after 
                    the renovations [December 2006] we have had to 
                    date over 10,000 people use the building. 
                  The first wedding was held in the building 
                    on January 28 2007. The couple who serves as the janitors

                We have started to incrementally 
                    rent the building, our strategy is to make the centre a viable 
                    facility to be used to add value to the city. The funds raised 
                    through rent, will be used to maintain what we presently have 
                    and to meet the above needs. It is unlikely that all of the 
                    above will be done before our term of appointment is completed, 
                    that will be a process as the local leadership takes responsibility 
                    for the future of their institution.
