Barbados

Barbados, Missions

Jonathan Ryttersgaard grew up at Bath Road Baptist Church and we are grateful to God for calling him to the full-time preaching ministry, first in Toronto and then in Barbados.

Jon and his wife Melanie met at Trent University in Peterborough, Canada in 2006. They were married in 2011 and have two sons, Maddox (born in 2013) and Wade (born in 2016). Jon has a Master of Theological Studies from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto, and served as a pastor in Canada for five years before starting Covenant Reformed Baptist Church here in Barbados in 2017. Covenant Reformed Baptist Church of Barbados is a church plant of Covenant Baptist Church, Toronto. They plan to step down from the ministry team, and continue to attend the church.

For more information on the work in Barbados, check out the church website at https://www.crbcbarbados.com/. Also, Jon’s updates are posted here as they become available.

Widows’ Program

Update on The Widows’ Goat Program – April 2022 (click to view) A number of years ago a representative of Bath Road Baptist Church met the EBCM Management Team and executive to discuss how best Christians in the west could help the Malawian believers.

Building Churches

BRBC and faithful supporters have been an integral part of building churches in Malawi. Historically church buildings have been built of handmade clay bricks, with open windows and doors and grass roofs. During the rainy season, as the grass roofs deteriorate due to the heavy rains, the walls begin to collapse from the weight of […]

Supporting Local Malawian Leaders

The Evangelical Baptist Church of Malawi (EBCM) was established in 1973 under the leadership of Abusa (Pastor) Munyewe. Munyewe, as a young man, was witnessed by an itinerant evangelist.

Spurgeon Ministries

Charles Spurgeon, 1834-1892, was the foremost preacher of the 19th century. Spurgeon’s congregation built The Metropolitan Tabernacle (1861); in that same year Spurgeon preached at London’s Crystal Palace to a congregation of 23,654 without microphone or any other means of amplification. Charles Haddon Spurgeon is history’s most widely read preacher. Today, there are more available […]
Courtship of Charles and Susannah

At age 19, Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached his first Sunday evening service at London’s New Park Church. It was December 18, 1853. His preaching is described as eloquent with fervent gospel appeal. In the congregation was a young lady named Susannah Thompson. Rather than be impressed with Charles, she found him quite amusing, mainly due […]
Spurgeon’s Conversion

Spurgeon, we turn to Dr. Michael Haykin in “The Life and Legacy of Charles Haddon Spurgeon” for the following recounting of the experience. To set the context, Charles was planning to attend church with his father in Tollesbury, some distance from his home, but […]
Spurgeon’s Outlook on Sharing the Gospel

The faithful proclamation of the Gospel was front and centre throughout Spurgeon’s ministry. Many of sermons that are reproduced by Bath Road Baptist Church for distribution around the world focus on the gospel. As Michael Haykin states, “He [Spurgeon] was determined that when he preached it would be the Lord Jesus who was pre-eminently exalted […]
Why These Sermons?

The question must be asked, why these sermons? Why is Bath Road Baptist Church involved in reproducing the sermons of Charles Haddon Spurgeon? Having died over a century ago, surely there are more recent preachers that should be featured. A brief history follows. Spurgeon Ministries began in Cambridge, Ontario in the mid 1970’s. About ten […]
