Music, medals, and a mission.

Eighteen young campers lit up the St Therese RC Chapel in Acono with joyful performances at the closing concert of their week-long music camp.

From steelpan to guitar, keyboard to recorder, these children didn’t just learn instruments—they learned discipline, teamwork, and faith through music.

Camp Director Rosalind Garnes, a veteran music educator and renowned Panorama judge, says the camp was a calling—and the concert was a celebration of purpose.

In the heart of Guyana’s interior, language was no barrier to faith.

The Jesus Explosion mission team, led by Fr. Ian Taylor and the Sisters of Charity, journeyed into remote villages like Hosororo, Bamboo Landing, and Sikumaca—bringing praise, prayer, and presence to communities where English is not the first language.

From worship in thatched-roof chapels to testimonies of deep personal encounter, the mission was a powerful reminder that the Gospel travels by love, not convenience.

Watch the full story of evangelization, encounter, and joy from the interior of Guyana—only on this week’s ALTOS.
