How are we involved in spreading the Gospel in Curacao?

The Oxford church of Christ has been the overseeing congregation for the work on the island of Curacao since the mid 1990s. Curacao is a Dutch island approximately thirty miles off the coast of Venezuela with a population of about 170,000. The Rio Canerio congregation is the only congregation of the church of Christ on the island. Brother Alford Lazar (seen on left with his wife and children), a native of the island of Dominica and a graduate of the Trinidad School of Preaching, has been working with the congregation there since 1993, and has also become an influence in spreading the gospel on the neighboring islands in the southern Carribean. The Oxford congregation works with the Rio Canerio congregation in conducting a gospel campaign on the island each summer, and, along with other congregations and individuals, provides monetary support for this vital work.
