\n

You probably wouldn\u2019t choose to move to Bartica. The small mining town in Guyana struggles with problems of human trafficking, unemployment, alcoholism and substance abuse.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

But that hasn\u2019t put off Steve. This month, Steve is starting work there to pioneer IS\/IVCF ministry because he wants every young person to have the opportunity to hear about Jesus. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Having grown up in the area, he knows the challenges that lie ahead, spiritually and practically. There are seven schools on the mainland and a few more in smaller nearby river\u202fcommunities. These schools can be reached only by a boat \u2013 and the boat only goes once a week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

But God-willing, a healthy schools ministry will, in time, enable ministry at the university level to flourish as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Join us in praying for Steve and the work in Bartica: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
  • Praise God for providing Steve to start this work and for the support of local pastors and headteachers. 
    <\/li>
  • Pray for wisdom for Steve as he explores ministry opportunities in the seven schools. 
    <\/li>
  • Pray that many children would come to trust in Jesus, and that through them, whole families and communities can meet Jesus and be transformed by the gospel. <\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n

    Thanks for praying with us!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":8049,"template":"","area":[454,479],"theme":[8],"class_list":["post-8050","prayerline","type-prayerline","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","area-caribbean","area-guyana","theme-breaking-new-ground"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTaking the gospel to schools in Bartica · IFES Prayerline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You probably wouldn\u2019t choose to move to Bartica. The small mining town in Guyana struggles with problems of human\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Taking the gospel to schools in Bartica · IFES Prayerline\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You probably wouldn\u2019t choose to move to Bartica. The small mining town in Guyana struggles with problems of human\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IFES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-11T16:40:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/190903-guyana-4193279_1920.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"720\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/\",\"name\":\"Taking the gospel to schools in Bartica · IFES Prayerline\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/es\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/190903-guyana-4193279_1920.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-09-03T10:13:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-11T16:40:11+00:00\",\"description\":\"You probably wouldn\u2019t choose to move to Bartica. The small mining town in Guyana struggles with problems of human\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/190903-guyana-4193279_1920.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/190903-guyana-4193279_1920.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":720,\"caption\":\"190903 guyana-4193279_1920\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/bartica\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Prayerline\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/prayerline\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Taking the gospel to schools in Bartica\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/es\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/es\/\",\"name\":\"IFES\",\"description\":\"A movement of students sharing and living out the good news of Jesus Christ.
