PASTOR & MRS. FOLKENBERG'S VISIT CANCELLED
January 2, 1998
For nearly a year now, residents of Guyana and specifically the Upper Mazaruni River district have been looking forward to the visit of our World President and his
wife, Pastor and Mrs. Robert Folkenberg. Amerindian residents from both Venezuela and Brasil had planned to walk in for the ocasion. To accompany
them were our Interamerican Division President, Pastor Israel Leito, our Caribbean Union President, Dr. Peter Prime, and our Guyana Conference President,
Pastor Lindon Gudge. Pastor Folkenberg was also bringing along special visitors, Bro. & Mrs. Bob Paulsen.
The date set for the arrival had been scheduled for January 7. On January 8, I was scheduled to fly the visitors over to Suriname in a small twin Piper Seneca II
aircraft, and then take the aircraft back to Trinidad.
Unfortunately, due to a bit of public stress following national elections in Guyana, the trip was canceled after the carefully studied recommendation made by the
Guyana Conference administration. We certainly support the recommendation, but are very disappointed. We look forward to another possible visit some time in the
future, Lord willing.
