Convention 2010

Fellow Labourers:

It is indeed an honour for me to write to you today. First let to from the bottom of my heart and soul give thanks to Almighty God for the blessings convention has been. You know in what way you have been blessed, and you saw how God has blessed. There is know denying the fact that those who planned the event, and those who supported the event can say certainly "The Lord was in this place."

In my readings today I noted the following from an article by Martin Henry in the daily Gleaner and here I quote, "One of the prevailing myths of the culture is that Marcus Garvey was some kind of proto-Rasta. The Rastafarian movement, aided by 'scholarship', has (mis)appropriated Garvey a special icon of the movement. --- One of its principal proponents, Mutabaruka, is an atheist."

In "Tortured for Christ" the writer said, "Every soul won for Christ must be made to be a soul-winner. The Russians were not only converted, but became "missionaries" in the Underground Church. They were reckless and daring for Christ, always saying that it was the least they could do for Christ who died for them."

Let us then be true and faithful, trusting every day.

Pax Vobiscum

  1. Greetings Team:

    ...I want to also add my commendation to all who participated to make this such a Convention to herald. Do we have a count of the number of persons baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost?

    I am reminded of the song, When you believe, the soundtrack from The Prince of Egypt:

    Many nights we've prayed
    with no proof anyone could hear
    In our hearts a hopeful song
    We barely understood;
    Now we are not afraid
    Although we know there's much to fear
    We were moving mountains
    Long before we ever knew we could

    There can be miracles
    When you believe
    Though hope is frail
    It's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles
    You can achieve
    When you believe
    Somehow you will
    You will when you believe

    In this time of fear
    When prayer so often proved in vain
    Hope seemed like the summer birds
    Too swiftly flown away;
    Yet now I'm standing here
    With heart so full I can't explain
    Seeking faith and speaking words
    I never thought I'd say

    There can be miracles when you believe
    Though hope is frail
    It's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles
    You can achieve
    When you believe
    Somehow you will
    You will when you believe...

    God bless you all.
