60 seconds that mattered to Global Fellowship January 2012
Haiti
The following are some pictures taken during a session for Boys ' and Girls' Brigade at the Petit Goave centre.
Montserrat
An enrolment event went very well in December with 22 boys and 4 new ones have joined since. The photograph is of the Juniors and Company Section that took part in a Flag Raising Ceremony on 18th January. The 206th Conference of the Leeward islands District of the Methodist Church (MCCA- The Methodist Church in The Caribbean and The Americas) met in Montserrat last month. The older boys are about to commence the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme- bronze level.
Pacific Region
Following a decision by Emmanuel Uniting Church, Enoggera, Queensland to establish a partnership with a comparable church in the Solomon Islands, it was decided to partner the Noro United Church on New Georgia Island in the Western Province. It was agreed that a group from Emmanuel would travel to the Solomons and assist in establishing a Boys' Brigade Company at Noro United Church.
They found an enthusiastic group of 19 future Officers, both men & women, & a group of 50 plus Boys, ranging in age from 6 to 14 years.
Nigeria
The National Secretary has informed that several BB members who are in the armed forces have lost their lives in various attacks. He would value our prayers for the families and the situation.
At the last WARF meeting it was decided to approach Sierra Leone with a view to holding the 2012 meeting there. Unfortunately with elections coming, Violence has already occurred and is likely to escalate nearer the time. However, an officer's training programme looks set to go ahead in April run by Ghana. BB Sierra Leone also need our prayers.
Thailand
Last year Thailand suffered some very bad flooding as t his photograph shows.
But despite all the loss, members rise to the situation.
Congo
We have been informed that the BB in Congo has translated all Brigade Handbooks from English to French.
Tanzania
Boys Brigade in the Diocese of Mara, Tanzania was restarted in November 2009. Since then it has had a good steady progress. Since November 2009 there have been 22 Companies opened in the Diocese of Mara, Tanzania. But opening new Companies is a reasonably easy task. The hard work involves training young men to be good confident leaders to teach the boys the various aspects of the BB program. This has been one of the many focuses of BB Mara.
Young Leaders Workshop in Kenya - Fingerprint
Invitation for the workshop in Kenya, August 2012 has been sent to all National Secretaries and is also on the Global Fellowship website. Two young leaders (18 – 30 years of age) from each country can participate.
