- First
Quarter’s Crusades Update
- The Spirit of evangelism continued as
we witnessed baptisms from the various crusades this past Sabbath.
First baptism results indicate that God
has again added to His church those who will be saved.
The Voice
of Hope Crusade with Evangelist Leonard A. Johnson has reported a baptism
of eight precious souls.
The Family
Life Crusade with Evangelist Eric D. Clarke is reporting a baptism of
eleven (11).
The Path
to Truth Crusade featuring Evangelist Michael D. Toote is also reporting a
baptism of eleven (11) after just two weeks of meetings. According to Dr.
Toote, baptisms are planned for the next two Sabbaths.
Crusade
at the Berea SDA Church began on Sunday night, March 17, 2002, under
the enthusiastic preaching of Evangelist Owusu Boateng, who under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit inspired those in attendance with the word of
God, admonishing them to make Jesus their choice. The meetings were spirit
filled led in songs of praise by a lively song service director. Meetings are
held nightly at 7 o’clock. All are encouraged to attend.
In spite of the obstacles,
God has certainly blessed in these campaigns. A major concern voiced by all is
the low level of membership participation. We want to encourage you, brethren,
to do more to support the Crusades in your areas. Let none say "There is
nothing I can do." There is something to be done by everyone if all we do
is attend. Let us seek to invite our friends, our family members, and the
backslidden members. If you want to see them saved in God’s kingdom, let us
invite them to the meetings. There is too much evil, too much violence
prevailing and invading our land. The one you invite today, may be a life you
help to save tomorrow. The hour is late and God needs you to point others to
Him, that they might be saved. The servant of the Lord said in Testimonies,
Volume 6, page 67, "Pray with these souls by faith bring them to the foot
of the cross. Carry their minds with your mind and fix the eye of faith where
you look upon Jesus, the sin bearer. Get them to look from their poor sinful
selves to the Saviour and the victory is won.." -

- Teachers
Attend Education Workshop
- Teachers at Bahamas Academy were
refreshed and invigorated by the superb presentation made by
 the
Union department of Education.
-
- On Sunday past teachers in both
elementary and secondary divisions joined for worship and support when
Pastor Errol Thomas and Drs. Green from NCU hosted a worship on the theme
"Integrating Faith and Learning."
-
- In his worship thought, Pastor Thomas
reminded the teachers that everything that they do should demonstrate an
integration of faith and learning. Teachers, he said, must model what they
believe as Jesus did.
The workshop came as
a breath of fresh air at this time in the school year when teachers are looking
for new ideas and strategies to continue through the year. The workshop proved
to be both professionally fulfilling and spiritually uplifting. - Celeste

The second group is Divorce Recovery Support Group for persons separated,
thinking about getting a divorce, or who have been divorced for less than seven
years. Divorced individuals in or church have special needs. There are concerns
about parenting, legal rights, intimacy, family, social life, etc. Divorce
Recovery will provide help for those who need healing from broken relationships.
This group will run for six weeks.
The third group is HEAL - Healing
and Empowering Abused Ladies. This support group is for women who are
in emotionally or physically abusive relationships. Persons interested in
joining either of these groups must first register by phone by calling Adventist

Pastor
Wilfred Adderley - A Powerful Message Excitement
saturated the air as more than 1,200 students packed the S.C.McPherson Junior
High School on Monday morning. They sang the song "Alive, Alive" with
the anointing of the Holy Spirit. God's presence was felt in that tightly packed
auditorium. The occasion was a special service to celebrate "The Risen
King" and to pay tribute to one of our students who had died.
Pastor Wilfred Adderley, pastor of the
Berea Seventh-day Adventist Church, was the guest speaker. What a message! The
students and teachers were blessed by the words delivered to the S.C.McPherson
family. He had a message for each group within the family of S.C.McPherson from
God. We were truly blessed as hearts were touched. The message was received with
much thanksgiving.
After the delivery of the message, the
room was buzzing with approval and declarations of the blessing received. The
students and teachers were truly touched by this powerful message. Pastor
Adderley planted the seed and I am sure that God will do the rest. Let us
continue to be a beacon to those around us through our individual ministry of
uplifting the name of Jesus, our Saviour and Lord.
Special thanks are extended to Pastor
Wilfred Adderley who has represented the Adventist Family in a commendable way.
May God continue to anoint him with His Holy Spirit as he ministers to others
who have not yet accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. Pray that we will
all be witnesses for Christ especially in our workplace. To God be the glory,
great things He has done.- Terri
Dames, Teacher at S. C. McPherson School
