It really isn’t much yet, but the Employment Resource Services Centers, located in the Prashaud Nagar chapel in Georgetown, is the beginning of something wonderful for the members of the Church in Guyana . . . and the first step toward the fulfillment of prophecy as stated in Elder M. Russell Ballard’s dedicatory prayer.On February 23, 1990, Elder Ballard opened the door to missionary work in Guyana but also asked, “Heavenly Father, please bless this land that economic conditions might improve. We acknowledge this will take some time, but we pray Thee to give national leaders the vision of things they need to do to bring a comfortable lifestyle for Thy children here by giving them employment and an opportunity to work and earn a living.”
Right now, the ERS Volunteer Center is nothing more than a small room with borrowed computers, but already jobseekers are finding the center the place to go to research employment opportunities. The ERS will connect students with trade schools and colleges and identify businesses willing to provide on-the-job training. For students wanting to further their education but without the means to do so, the ERS will also be the go-to place for one-on-one assistance on such things as how to write a resume or complete the on-line PEF loan application.
This program is one more evidence the Lord is mindful of the West Indies Mission.
