Please find here the invite to Guyana:

"For three days during the summer of 2023 (July 5 – 8), Guyana will be host to one of the most significant Christian conferences to be held in our region – Lausanne Caribbean Regional Missions Conference. Enticingly ‘off the beaten track’, Guyana is a real hidden gem of South America. With colonial influences including the Netherlands, Britain and France, some pretty post-colonial town-centers and a wild and untouched back-country that goes from mist-topped tepuis to wild virgin rainforests, it’s hardly surprising there’s so much to see and do. Guyana’s most recent oil discoveries in the lucrative Stabroek Block have significantly increased the country’s recoverable oil equivalent barrels so much so, that its fortunes represent more than 10 percent of all global finds since 2015. We are all excited about the growth and opportunities we see ahead for the people and economy of Guyana."
