The Commonwealth Youth Exchange Programme(CYE) began with the visit of eleven (11) young people from the Liverpool District of the Methodist Church in Britain to the Bahamas. They were led by Rev. Alistair and Sarah Lowe and Ms. Ruth East. The group visited the Nassau Circuit, August 5-16, Andros Circuit-August 16-26, and the Grand Bahama Circuit-August 26-Sept 2. While they were visiting these circuits they participated in various activities which covered tourism and social outreach. These included visit with the Governor General and the Minister of Tourism, Atlantis, Pirates of the Caribbean, All Saints Camp, Home outreach, Vacation Bible School, Urban Renewal, work on St. Paul's Methodist College, learning authentic craft, participation in worship services and prayer services. The group also found time to relax and enjoyed the sun, sea and sand on the islands, especially on Andros. New friendships were formed, and it is the hope of the youth in the Bahamas/Turks and Caicos Islands Conference (MCCA) to visit Liverpool in 2009 to complete the exchange experience.
We wish the team from Liverpool a safe journey back home. May God bless and guide you.
