‘The Way of the Cross’ Mega Tent Crusade in Bog Walk
The season of reaping
for Central Jamaica Conference of Seventh-day Adventist started with
a bang with the first of six Mega Tent Crusades to be held
throughout the Conference (see table below for information on Mega
Tent activities in the Conference). Pastor Everett Brown, President
of Central Jamaica Conference, declared the Way of the Cross Mega
Tent Crusade open on Sunday January 20, 2008. In his opening address
he stated that, “the Way of the Cross Crusade must be a means of
leading men and women in sin to experience hope in Jesus Christ.”
Pastor Thomas ‘Hurricane’ Bryan speaking at the Mega Tent Crusade in
Bog Walk
Pastor Thomas
‘Hurricane’ Bryan, the evangelist for the Crusade, was filled with
energy and zeal as if it was his first time under a big tent, even
though he has done this many times before and has led over 5000
souls to Christ. In his opening message, ‘The Coming of Christ’, he
stated that nothing can truly compare to the splendor of seeing
Jesus return and to behold the beautiful city (heaven).
Over 500 persons were in attendance and everyone was fixed on the
preacher as he spoke about the goodness of God. Whenever he burst
into singing, intermittently during his sermon, the audience would
instinctively join in as he led out in some old time religion songs.
Seventeen Churches have combined their resources along with Central
Jamaica Conference to host The Way of the Cross Mega Tent Crusade.
The seventeen churches are from three districts, namely the Bog Walk
District (Pastored by Roosewell Lobban and Kemar Douglas), Linstead
District (Pastored by Kevin Danvers) and Palm Districts (Pastored by
Wesley Gayle).
Join us in praying for this event and the other evangelistic
outreach in the Conference as we seek to fulfill the mandate of
Matthew 28:18-20 to teach and baptize. Pray for the commitment and
recommitment of lives to God.
