General Objectives of the Prayer Conference:
To clarify to our members the supernatural function of prayer in the life of the church.
To move members towards a greater dependence on God and the Holy Spirit.
To develop in our members a purposeful and focused approach to prayer.
To provide the catalyst for organized prayer movement in homes and in the local churches.
To create an atmosphere for members to unburden, petition, celebrate and refocus.
To recruit and organize an army of prayer warriors within the Bahamas Conference for the expressed purpose of presenting the needs and challenges of the Bahamas Conference to God in an organized and consistent manner.
To help members claim and experience the promises of God in a personal and practical way, to the extent that they can testify: “I have seen the promises of God fulfilled in my life”.
To foster an intimate relationship with God and deepen friendship with Him.
They came out in unbelievable numbers on Friday night, January 28, 2005, for the opening of the first Prayer Conference in Nassau. More than six-hundred Adventists, visitors and friends packed the Hillview Church with very little standing room remaining. After the inspirational praise and worship and short preliminaries, Pastor Samuel Telemaque stood to his feet to lead the congregation in a prayer conference experience. From that very moment, spiritual electrical shockwaves permeated every heart present. This was going to be a different kind of conference, and it certainly proved to be. Pastor Telemaque led the congregation in scripture readings and inspirational hymns. He led us to look upward to a great, merciful, loving God who serves as our Mediator in heaven. During his presentation, there were moments of silent scriptural meditation, discussion between prayer partners, singing, and prayer. It was certainly a meaningful experience. After the service on Friday night, everyone left yearning for more. They left with their faces glowing, radiant with the electrical shock of the Holy Spirit.
Having been electrified with God’s power on Friday night, more than six hundred packed Hillview Church again on Sabbath morning, January 29, 2005 at 6:00 a.m. for the second heart-changing prayer experience. With a blend of teaching and ministry, Pastor Telemaque directed the congregation to a great, healing God, who understands and hears all our pains and sorrows. Many hearts were touched, and eyes were filled with tears. The solemn, moving experience that early Sabbath morning was reflected in the manner in which the congregation sang the hymns of praise. The rising of the sun in the distant east and the warming of the earth, seemed to be significant of the increasing power of God in all of our lives on that never-to-be-forgotten Sabbath morning. The service ended about eight o’clock, allowing the members to go home and get ready to attend their regular church services and return at three o’clock for the third session.
It was amazing! It was obvious that the morning recipients of God’s fulfilling power wanted more. They all and many more, were unbelievably on time to begin the three o’clock seminar. There was only standing room when the praise and worship ended at ten minutes pass three. Then Pastor Telemaque stood to his feet to begin the seminar. That afternoon he prepared the hundreds in attendance to go on a Prayer Walk. After the training and information, nearly all packed their cars and busses and headed to the assigned areas all over Nassau. What were they asked to do? They were asked to walk the streets in pairs praying as they walked. At times, they were to stop and pray for those with whom they came into contact. Those who participated in the prayer walk left the church at 4:00 p.m. and returned at 5.00 o’clock to share their testimonies. It was inspiring to hear the heart-changing testimonies. This experience built an even greater anticipation for what came next–The Sunday morning anointing.
Once again, still in high spirit, hundreds of Adventists and a few visitors, returned to Hillview Church for the much awaited anointing service. It was six o’clock on Sunday morning. The church was packed. After two inspirational short messages by Pastors Leonard Johnson and Jeremiah Duncombe who focused on God’s promises, Pastor Telemaque prepared the congregation for the anointing service. While the pastors gathered in the pastor’s study to fill their cups with Olive Oil, the congregation read silently Psalms 51. After a special prayer and instructions the anointing began. Hundreds came forward, and some pastors mingled among the crowd praying for those they anointed on their foreheads with Olive Oil. As the ceremony continued, the people sang, "Anointing, Fall on Me." It was truly a moving experience. Undoubtedly, the electrifying power of the Holy Spirit was turned up high.
The final hour of the Sunday morning experience was a seminar to prepare the prayer warriors for ministry in evangelistic meetings. We all left the conference filled with power to go and teach, live and do for Christ. It was a prayer shock that left the lights of the Holy Spirit glowing in our hearts forever. We say, "Thank you Pastor Samuel Telemaque."
