"I Know that My Redeemer Lives" Just Over a Year in Review

Good morning Prayer Warriors and Colleagues  

Praise God ministry in our area of Dorchester Mass. is seeing some results. A young lady in the neighborhood who is one year older then Kevina has made a re-commitment to the Lord. She has a son who is 4 years old, who was born on the same day as our granddaughter Karis but 3 hours before Karis. this young lady's father has gone missing in Jamaica and her mother lives in New York with other family members. We have opened up our arms for her to come over to have worship with us and just to talk too. Keep her in prayer as God has great plans for her and her family.

Updates:

Kevina is doing very good these days. They are working her off the medicines which will take some time. Jonathan came over to us for a few days. Keep him in prayer that he will reach the mark in his next course of the months of schooling. 

Karis is doing good with the things she is learning, as Kevina and Karon are teaching her daily. Karon is still smiling and in a good spirit and full of the HOLY SPIRIT.

As to staying in touch with the Lord, He has been waking me up early to tell me it is time for us to talk. The first part of the morning has been in prayer, and the second part of these early hours, He has been flooding my mind with so many blessings of which He has been able to bless others through me with. 

I have been asked to help out at a church while here in Boston, every time I'm in town by the overseeing pastor who has two churches on last Wednesdays prayer meeting.  The church is about 25 min. away from us in Cambridge, Mass. There are many other fires that have got started through the power of the HOLY SPIRIT of which the LORD has called me to minister other in Mass.

On the first Sabbath, we saw 6 people give their hearts to the Lord. At yesterday's service, over 24 people gave their hearts to the Lord. Others recommitted themselves anew to Lord in service. Yesterday, I also had a call from the state prison by the chaplain of the prison requesting me to come and speak to the inmates from 9:00 am until 11:30 am. I regretfully had to turn it down because it was a long drive to and from the prison. Let us pray for the work in Bermuda and Mass as God has Hid Way. I was told that the other pastors of our faith do not go out to the prisons when called. I told them, "if they line me up early, I"ll be there to speak a word for my loving Jesus." 

Let us keep the 40 women who gave their hearts to the Lord last Sunday morning December 27th, 2015 when I gave the message to the women in the oldest women's state prison in the USA. Also, let us remember in prayer the 50 men who gave their hearts to the Lord on Monday December 28th, 2015 in the same state prison which called for me to speak to them yesterday. 

We have seen many soul come to Jesus in Bermuda, and sad to say some others turn from following the Lord Jesus Christ. Please keep the work of sharing the gospel in my home country Bermuda in your prayers. 

In talking to one of my sisters in the faith from Bermuda, Sonia Howes, this morning, I was reminded by her that "The Spirit is definitely moving amongst the people. An old throwback song says "when you've tried everything and everything fails, try Jesus... Indeed, our community is searching, hungry and thirsty for the truth, love, and acceptance."

But note all of these souls have been touched by the Lord in both Bermuda and Boston because God had allowed Satan to test my family's faith. 

We have been through many test as a family for the past fifteen years. But the start of a succession of test will come our way. The darker days began a year and ten months ago when my church reducing me to a part time worker. In that same month Kevina had to be taken to John Hopkins Hospital for sickness. then in June to July she had to go back to the same hospital. We got home on the 23rd to view my wife brother in a public viewing. He was put to rest on the following day. In forty days we would suffer ten deaths of our family. in late October Kevina would have to be taken back to a hospital overseas but this time for cancer in her head.  

I have not taken a bad spirit on this,and dogged God or anyone, or stopped working full time for the Lord. Remember, it was him who gave me the call over many years ago. He said to me, "Wherever I allow you to be, or what state You may find yourself in, I want you to be faithful, for faith is He who has called you."

Today, I want all to know that I am on the battle field for my Lord because I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die or see Him without seeing death. I also want all to know that I love the work of the Lord and His people and hold nothing over anyone's head. We must learn to work together in good times and bad times, in rich times or if we are in poor times. We must take on the spirit of the church of Acts 2:42-47 which says, "42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, (or divided their salary) and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, (they worked together) and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." God is good! 

As you will see Satan did not give up with causing suffering me and my family; he caused Kevina to become so sick. But God allowed this, so Kevina would be sent to Boston for this time for treatment. Even unto the portals of death she was, not once, but three times, with many complications over her last year and three months. This has forced my wife to give up her part time job for the last 15 months to care for Kevina. As with many people with insurance, we have had our setbacks even up to this passed week when we were told that they will not be paying for some of Kevina's care. God will work this out to his glory! Then, Satan himself came by my home in Bermuda to try to kill me last June, causing me to be brought back to Boston for almost twelve weeks of treatment on top of Kevinas sinkness. But God is still good!

I have now come to the place where it doesn't matter anymore what men or demons will do to me or my family. I must live for Jesus and give God my all. I must do all in my power and straight to help the work of the Lord in Bermuda at my church or any church in the world because it is God's church. I must do God's will moving forward, in going where He sends me, or allowing me to be in ministry only. One thing I do know is that God is not finished with me in Bermuda with my brothers and sisters in the churches or civic duties. Rather, he has opened up doors for a wider ministry for which others shall be apart of. I am due back home in Bermuda on January 10th to continue with the ministry there in the church of the living God, the school, and other civic areas of ministry.

Lastly I want to thank all for their support in whatever way you where impressed by God,and prayers  for our family this pass year. Spacial thanks go out to the Rockaway SDA church who provides boxes of books and literature to me as I need them to pass out to the hundreds of people I have met this pass year in Boston.  I've been very open on this email because I want all to know that it has been God who has allowed all these thing to teach us all faith. To the glory of God! 

Five Needs of Prayer:

1. Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our own personal lives, that God will work in a powerful way this year in all countries of the world. 
2. Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our families, and our communities, that this will be the year of healing, of restoration, of binding up the wounds, and of growing and moving forward together for God's glory.
3. Pray for all backslidden members of every church that God lay them on our hearts, that God will love them back to Himself through us with wisdom and words of encouragement.
4. Pray for the promise of the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit in fulfillment of His word.
5. Pray for my family and with these new born babies in Christ.

This year God shall break every chain, and not do it the conventional way in which we have seen it done in the pass. He say, "Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods." Isaiah 43:19 

May your day be Bless

Maranatha, Jesus is coming
