Youth Ministry
The Youth Ministry has
greatly improved with the
addition of the BOSS The
Movement Program. Our
young people have enjoyed a
lot of exposure since the pro-
gram started in May.
In July after only ten weeks
into the program, they were
invited to their first Vertical
Leap Seminar. Coach Al
Hollingsworth had them dem-
onstrating the concepts they
were being taught in their
BOSS class and to show the
adults present how this pro-
gram could impact their com-
munities as well. They were
beamed live on the Web.
Their poise and leadership
qualities were evident and we
the trainers were justifiably
proud.
In August they took part in
the Independence Day Cere-
mony held at Kings House,
the Governor-General of Ja-
maica‘s residence. They were
featured on the Jamaica Infor-
mation Service television
program doing the Entrepre-
neur‘s Credo.
October saw five of the stu-
dents attending another Verti-
cal Leap Seminar. This time
they were there for two days
and twenty five hours of
teaching. They presented their
dreams or vision for their
future. One young person
Cezar saw his dream mani-
fested as he showed off jewels
designed and made by he and
his mom. Mr. and Mrs.
Hollingsworth, Founders of
BOSS pledged $100US to
each student to invest in their
business.

BOSS Graduation
The graduation ceremony for
the class of 2009 was held on
November 8th, here at SHM.
They were the first batch of
students to graduate from the
BOSS The Movement pro-
gram here in Jamaica.
During the program the stu-
dents were mostly in charge
as they shared what they had
learnt in the twenty weeks of
training. The youngest partici-
pant was 6 year old Tianna
Brown who led the class in
reciting the Entrepreneur‘s
Credo. Samuel led the stu-
dents in speaking about their
Birthrights. One of the key
component of the program is
teaching our young people
how to walk in their birth-
rights and as a consequence,
they would then be able to
birth their dreams, visions and
ideas.
Two of the students, Monique
Brown and Shari Walters
were baptized on the morning
of their graduation.
The ceremony was attended
by our Regional Directors,
parents and well wishers. The
Trainers hard work and sacri-
fices certainly paid off.

Ministry Outreach encompasses soul
winning ministry as well as minister-
ing to the physical and financial as-
pects of individuals or families. The
Ministry reached out to a youngster
from St Tooles District in Manchester.
She is Davia Thompson and she is a
first form student at the Villa Road
Primary & Junior High. The Ministry
purchased her books and other neces-
sities for school. Many needy students
are given lunch money from time to
Ministry Outreach
time by the Ministry.
In July, Pastor and the team ministered
at a Tent Crusade in Christiana and a
Convention in St, Elizabeth. Several
persons gave their lives to the Lord at
the Tent Crusade.
The Elijah Tabernacle Church in Old
England, Manchester was the venue for
our next Evangelistic meeting in Au-
gust. Lives were saved and people were
delivered and set free. Praise the Lord!!
In September we journeyed to Mears, Claren-
don for two nights of soul-winning and de-
liverance ministry.
Food Distribution
The Ministry‘s food distribution program is
ongoing. We have gone even further afield,
taking foodstuff into the Coleyville and
Maidstone areas of Manchester. We continue
to serve the communities of Hanbury, Royal
Flat and Comfort. Regardless of the high cost
of food, this ministry will continue.

Family Week 2009

Family Week 2009 was held
from November 8th–14th.
The theme for this year was
―United Families –the Key to
a Better Jamaica. All the
speakers dealt with some as-
pect of unity.
Pastor Sherman launched the
week‘s activities with a dy-
namic sermon taken from
Rom. 6. He said when you
begin a new life walking in
the new man, sin can‘t stick
to you, you have to hold on to
it. Later in the evening, Pastor
Jerry Fiscus told us that God
wants to bless our families,
both natural and spiritual. In
order for this to happen we
must rid the family of schism.
He listed five things that are
killing both families. These
are : lust, idolatry, fornication,
temptation and murmuring
and complaining,
Women‘s night speaker was
Rev. Evon Blair from Port-
more. She said unity was es-
sential if the fabric of our
families are to be maintained.
Unity sanctifies and solidifies
us as a family and it is during
this time that God will com-
mand the commanded bless-
ing upon us. Men‘s night was
awesome as Pastor Steve
Waugh of Fellowship Taber-
nacle challenged the men. He
gave the definition for MAN.
M– man must know how to
Manage life and its chal-
lenges. A –he must manage
with the right Attitude and N-
he must be able to Navigate
life.
Wednesday was Couples
night, even though it was in-
filtrated by many singles. Our
Speaker was Minister Yvonne
Vernon. She spoke about the
importance of operating as a
united front for the stability of
our family life. She started off
by having the couples partici-
pate in an exercise where they
had to say/ do something nice
to each other. She then spoke
about how important it is to
give 100 percent in every area
of your marriage. 100 percent
respect, love, honor and sex.
She was very down to earth and
practical and left the audience
wanting more. (cont‘d on pg 4)

Members of the Living Water
Church visited with us from
the 2nd –12th of November.
This was their second stay
with us and we thoroughly
enjoyed having them.
While here, they conducted
devotions at a number of
schools, including New Green
Primary & Junior High and
May Day High School. They
Missionaries Visit
ministered at the Good Hope
Children‘s Home operated by
Lincoln and Amanda Wil-
liams. Here at the Ministry,
they purchased two doors for
the office and bought, pack-
aged and distributed foodstuff
to the communities of Royal
Flat, Comfort and their envi-
rons.
The highlight of their visit
was when Bill, a team member
was delivered from nicotine
addiction. We witnessed a
brother being transformed and
set free by the power of the
Holy Spirit right before our
eyes. Pastor Jerry was the Pastor Jerry Fiscus, Pastor of

Women’s Ministry Retreat

The Women‘s Missionary
Group under the leadership of
Co-Pastor Marcia Sherman
went on their first ever retreat
from the 28th to the 29th of
November.
Fourteen women journeyed
down to the all-inclusive Star-
fish Hotel in Trelawny. It was
a time of fellowship and
bonding. It was not without
its challenges but by the grace
of God we overcame.
Co-Pastor and President of
the group brought the Word.
She spoke on the topic of love
from 1 Corinthians 13, that
love is not easily puffed up
and that as women we need to
learn to let go of our hurts and
not to walk in offence. She said
oftentimes it is not about what is
said but how it is said. Ninety-
three(93%) percent of communi-
cation is non-verbal. This opened
the door for persons to say who
had offended them and for those
issues to be straightened out and
laid to rest. We left the retreat
determined to change and walk in
love.

Pastors’ Appreciation Service
On the 13th of December, a
long overdue appreciation ser-
vice was held for Pastors Oneil
and Marcia. The Church body
came together and put on this
surprise service. They were led
blindfolded from the vehicle, in
which they had just arrived from
a concert at Mrs. Sherman‘s
school, to the church. When the
blindfolds were removed they
were utterly stunned. There
were visitors from other
churches and a well planned
program ensued. Tributes fol-
lowed tributes as even the
youngest child in the congrega-
tion wanted to express their love

complete with sorrel cake and

them.
One more surprise gift

Youth night—this was wor-

set as we had a repeat of the
BOSS graduation so that it
could be recorded. The devil
worked overtime to stop the
proceedings, jamming all the
video cameras. However, by
the grace of God we prevailed
and an awesome time of wor-
ship ensued.
Our guest speaker was Minis-
ter Regna McClurkin who
encouraged and challenged
our young people to seek God
in worship. Her sister, Dr.
Suzette Clements shared her
testimony with these young
minds. Later, they knelt at the

young person, Shontay Smith
testified of God‘s protection
when she and her friends were
held up on their way from
school. They were robbed but
their lives were spared.
Saturday night-Jamaica Night
brought the curtain down on a
fantastic week. Awesome
worship continued and the
MC, Mrs. Reid was wonder-
ful. The final item was a skit
by the Boyd‘s family. It was a
portrayal of the Judgment
Day and showed how we can
be in church all our lives and
still lose our way. This really
ministered to everyone and
when the alter call was given,
9 young people responded.
This made it a very successful
week. To God be the glory!

Pastor Sherman tells his story on PBC
On the invitation of BOSS
The Movement's Regional
Directors, Fred and Regna
McClurkin, Pastor Sherman
attended an interview at Pub-
lic Broadcasting Company
(PBC‘s) offices in Kingston
on the 18th of November. The
purpose was to talk about the
impact of the program on his
ministry and the community
at large and to highlight how
it can affect the youths of this
country.
Infirmary Dinner
The annual Christmas Dinner
and body treatment for the
members of the Manchester
Infirmary was held on De-

on Christmas Day to come
Men’s Fellowship
The Men‘s Fellowship group
was formed in the early part
of 2009. Their President is
Bro Conrad (Neil) Samuels
and the group has been very
active. Every third Sunday is
Men‘s Sunday and they are
very enthusiastic and organ-
ized.
After the Women‘s Retreat,
While they waited for the
interview to start, he started
sharing his testimony with
those who were there. As he
spoke, the Manager got up
and left the room, because he
just could not believe what he
was hearing. The Manager, a
former CIA agent had respon-
sibility in the Caribbean to
apprehend all drug dealers
who were sending narcotics in
to the USA. He said if he had
not recommitted his life to
Christ just a week ago, Pastor

Lincoln Williams brought

pleasure in serving these indi-

to fellowship also, so they
went down to Little Ochie on
Sunday, 20th December.
After spending some time
socializing, they went to visit

feeling well. Prayer meeting
broke out as the sixteen men
began worshipping the Lord.

said the man broke down in
