From BrethrenPedia
See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.
The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.
Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.

We saw some fruit for the Lord there, and had the pleasure of seeing the two small assemblies there coming together to remember the Lord and seeking to go on in fellowship together. After being nine weeks in El Paso we went to Harper, Texas and had a few good meetings in an unused church building. We visited practically every home with tracts. We met quite a few people clearly saved and we read God's Word with them and sought to help them on in the ways which be in Christ. Please pray for us."

A good report of this Conference is just to hand. It was the largest yet held, and a channel of blessing to many of God's people."
- BM 1925-1: "Kansas City, Mo.: C.W. Ross was here, and returned from Texas suffering from quinsy, which developed painfully at Houston Conference. W.J. McClure gave help in preaching, then went on to San Antonio, Texas, and El Paso, en route to California. These long journeys are taxing to physical strength, but there are long distances between places, and the Lord's people value and appreciate such visits of laborers sent from God, with His message in freshness, to uplift and help."

We saw some fruit for the Lord there, and had the pleasure of seeing the two small assemblies there coming together to remember the Lord and seeking to go on in fellowship together. After being nine weeks in El Paso we went to Harper, Texas and had a few good meetings in an unused church building. We visited practically every home with tracts. We met quite a few people clearly saved and we read God's Word with them and sought to help them on in the ways which be in Christ. Please pray for us."

- LoI 1947-5: "...The Lord willing, we expect to spend the next six weeks among the gatherings of Texas and Colorado. Dates have been arranged for meetings in El Paso, Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas; and in Colorado Springs, Colo. We would greatly value prayer that these meetings may be owned of the Lord and fruit for eternity's result from them. The time is surely short and how vain are our most earnest efforts apart from the unhindered ministry of the Holy Spirit."
- "El Paso, Texas: Grace Chapel: "The Christians of Grace Chapel see the hand of God in blessing in their midst. Each Lord's day, instead of having an empty chapel, it is now well filled and several have been added to their number. They feel the need of enlarging their chapel in order to accommodate the attendance, and more room is needed for the increased Sunday School numbers. They have three weekly radio programs connected with the work, conducted by brother Nelson. "Chapel Echoes" is broadcast every Sunday morning at 7:30, "Chapel Meditations" every Monday noon, and the "Gospel Round Table" every Friday evening at 6:00. The Lord has answered their prayers for revived interest among them and they are duly thankful." (R.G. Murphy)
- L&L 1960-2: John A.W. Halliday, El Paso, TX: "Two requests have been received for Emmaus Bible courses from young Mexicans who live just across the border from El Paso.

They listened attentively to the flannelgraph lesson after which we distributed fruit, candy and used clothing, and groceries for the old Senora in whose house the meeting was held. We give God the glory and ask your prayers for blessing."
- L&L 1963-2: John A.W. Halliday, 3907 E. Paseo Grace, Tucson, AZ: "Locally there seems much to do in visitation and a nice number of people attend the chapel.

Recently gave help at a Young People's conference near Flagstaff and was much encouraged for the interest shown."
