Dr Myles Munroe, Founder, President and Senior Pastor of the Bahamas Faith Ministries International paid a courtesy call on President Bharrat Jagdeo Monday at his State House residence.

-He was accompanied by his wife Ruth Munroe, and son Myles Munroe Jnr., General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Guyana Reverend John Smith and his wife Jean.

Dr Munroe, who heads an all encompassing network of ministries headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas, has just concluded a fellowship visit to Christian and Government leaders of Guyana.

He was also one of the guest speakers at the Central Assembly of God Church which has just commemorated Reverend Smithxs 40th anniversary in ministry.

Dr Munroe has visited Guyana on more than one occasion and told the Government Information Agency (GINA) that xGuyana is continuing to rise.x

He spoke of the change which he has observed in the country since his last visit about four years ago.

xThe transformation Ixve seen since then is one of the most amazing changes I have seen in any country before, and that means that the people are working together, the leadership is working and the government is obviously making decisions that are helping in the infrastructural development of the country,x Dr Munroe said.

The Bahamian religious leader had a lengthy discussion with the Guyanese Head of State, a discussion which focused on a wide range of topics and which Dr Munroe described as a xwarm receptionx.

He disclosed that the talks focused on issues relevant to the Caribbean, the Fifth Summit of the Americas and the presence of the President of the United States Barack Obama.

Discussions also focused on President Jagdeoxs upcoming appointment as Head of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), of the possible benefits for collaboration between the two countries, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and religious leaders and climate change.

President Jagdeo has been advocating that climate change is much worse than what is generally believed, and in this light he has been pushing for mitigation measures and compensation for countries that have been active in this regard. The topic took up most of Dr Munroe and President Jagdeoxs discussions.

xWe also talked about some of the issues relevant to environmental concerns with regard to carbon emissions and the role Guyana can play in the future of the worldx I believe that Guyana is one of the wealthiest countries in the world because of the forests,x Dr Munroe said.

He spoke to the Head of State about returning to speak about the concerns of men in Guyana since he believes that they are the key players on the road to national development. (GINA)
