The work in the Seychelles began over 20 years ago. This year, one of the brethren who helped pioneer the work in the Seychelles passed away and is sleeping in our Lord. His nephew and co-worker in Christ, Brother Jacques Payet relates the story of how the work began and what is currently happening.

Matthew 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

My name is Jacques and I was born in the Seychelles. Seychelles is made up of 115 Islands spread out within the vast blue waters of the Indian Ocean, south of India and east of Africa.

I grew up in the Advent faith and was baptised in the Adventist church at the age of fourteen. I was raised by my lovely, God-fearing parents and received good Christian teaching throughout my early years.

On October 22, 2016, we had a wonderful baptism for Brother Chad and Sister Juley in Jamaica. There were 18 people in attendance for the baptism. After a sermon by Brother Helisto Barker, the President of the Belize Field who was visiting with us, we had lunch. Then, we went to the ocean where we had the baptismal service. We praise the Lord for the wonderful time we had. Despite the threat of rain in the nearby area, we were blessed and had no rain where we were in worship.

The true followers of Christ are severe with themselves and tolerant of others. But the hypocritical Pharisees are more lenient with themselves and intolerant of others. What is our real condition?

After spending a night in deep communion with the heavenly Father on the Mount of Olives, Jesus went to the temple to continue His work of teaching the truth.

As the Lord stood in the temple, He was interrupted by the unexpected visit of a group of angry Pharisees and teachers of the law who arrived on the scene dragging a terrified woman whom they accused of being caught in the act of adultery, which had really happened.
