    From the document: Moravian missionaries first came to Guyana, a tropical country on the Atlantic coast of South America in 1738. British colonial authorities denied them permission to evangelize the African slaves, so they turned their ministry toward the Amerindians, but were unable to establish a permanent mission. Seventy years later the London Missionary Society succeeded in placing missionaries among the African slaves. Slavery was eventually abolished in the British colonies in 1834. Moravians returned to Guyana in 1878 at the invitation of Quintin Hogg, a landowner who desired Moravian teachers to educate his employees. They established a mission at Graham's Hall plantation directed to former slaves. Congregations were eventually started in other locations.

    CURRENT SCOPE OF MINISTRY
    The membership of the Moravian Church in Guyana is mainly Afro-Guyanese, despite the
    racial plurality of the country, which is about 39% Indo-Guyanese, 35% Afro-Guyanese
    and the remainder being Chinese, Portuguese, Amerindian, and a few whites. Today
    there are eight Moravian congregations and about 700 communicant members.
    The program of the church is primarily the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
    Youth and women's work are also emphasized, with groups for each in nearly all
    congregations. A few congregations also operate thrift societies such as the Credit Union
    and the Penny Bank.
    The Moravian Church in Guyana has a strong ecumenical orientation expressed through
    its partnership with the Methodist and Congregational churches in the establishment of a
