The "Believer's Revival Series For Christ" with Evangelist Harvey Braithwaite came to a close on Sabbath February 25, 2012. We thank you for your prayers and support during the one week campaign. We also thank our God for the move of his Holy Spirit during these meetings and for the four (4) precious souls that were won for his Kingdom. For this we say, "To God be the glory, great things he has done".
To those who have committed their lives to Jesus Christ and have followed him all the way into the watery grave of baptism, we say, God bless you and that we will pray your strength in the Lord, as you allow him to direct your path. We love you and we are here for you. Let us continue to grow, pray, study, praise and worship together, under the guidence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

What is the ACUM Prayer Initiative?
It is a call to prayer and devotion to Christ in the context of Revival and Reformation.
When does it begin and end?
The ACUM Prayer Initiative begins January 1, 2012 and continues until December 31, 2012. Our Constant In Prayer program underscored more than ever that we need prayer each day like we need oxygen each second. Many are the trials and issues that come upon us daily, and therefore, we need to be prayed up. In the words of the Apostle Paul "Let's pray without ceasing" or simply pray always.
What is the focus of our prayers?
While the focus of the ACUM Prayer Initiative is on members and institutions, we also will pray for the countries in the ACUM territory namely, the Bahamas, Cayman, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. You are aware that elections are scheduled for the Bahamas. Let's remember that we are children of God and behave accordingly. In Turks, there is the uncertainty as to what will happen given the absence of a locally elected government. So, we must be constant in prayer.
May we pray for other entities in addition to what are assigned?
Yes. Although an assigned time has been given to pray for each field, church district, and institution, we may pray for other needs and concerns of our field or church/institution at any time.
Does this initiative replace other prayer programs?
No. The intent is for the ACUM Prayer Initiative to augment other prayer ventures. As noted in the prayer brochure, ACUM is a young and emerging field that needs the wisdom and guidance of God as it grows. Consequently, the ACUM Prayer Initiative gives direct focus to union-wide needs that we are asking you to add to your prayer list as we unite to proclaim God's word.
May we submit praise reports?
Yes. We welcome testimonies from each field and institution and look forward to receiving stories on how God is blessing. We anticipate video reports from the fields which would be most effective for sharing the inspiration of God's miraculous power with our union family.
With God all things are possible. Let us unite our hearts and efforts in prayer for each other. -

Pastor Samuel Telemaque preached a powerful message today led by the Spirit of God to close out the "Shine the Light Gospel Series". When the call was made many responded and nine precious souls gave their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ going all the way into the watery grave of baptism. We say to God be the glory, great things he has done.
We thank Evangelist Andrew Burrows for being used of God for three weeks and the powerful messages that he preached night after night. There are others who desire further studies as they remain in the valley of decision. We pray their strength in the Lord and will seek to study with them unto salvation.

Beginning October 8 through 29, 2011 the Bethany SDA Church will host the "Shine The Light Gospel Series" with Evangelist Andrew E. Burrows. The Series will begin with a Grand Gospel Concert on opening night. The concert is free and all are invited to attend and enjoy the blessings of the Lord as we praise him together.
Services will be held nightly at 7:15 p.m. except for Monday and Thursday nights. The Lord is calling his people to a true worship experience.
In John 4:22-24 Jesus tells us,
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
If you truly want to understand what Jesus is saying come out and "Hear the Word of the Lord".
SEE YOU THERE!
