Friend, I've had some thoughts on my mind for a long time about the way WE as pastors are operating Global Ministries. I have been running from penning them for a while, but God wouldn't allow me to do anything this morning until I write PART 1
Be Warned - You are suffering for so many weeks, months, years simply because as Ordained Ministers - We are really called to use offerings and tithes to empower our members and setup assets to deal with the Church's Liablities, but no one is bothering with that. I hate the phrase God's Money - I have never seen any Pastor Western Union it to God after a service. We should say, "Money to support God's Work" God is preparing to clean his house in 2013 and pour down his wrath upon the Ministers of Disobedience because he is saying that in NO RECESSION - his people should suffer. He placed Joseph to tell the Pharoah what to do during that recessional time. He has placed us as ministers to guide his people, but we are not doing it and he is angry and preparing to DESTROY.
As Dare 2 BE Different Interational prepares to host our January 2013 Crusade at Greenlands Park from the 7th - 11th and then let Pastor Kelvin Jones cut the ribbon to continue on in Dr. William Connor's Legacy of Establishing CHurches on Sunday, 13th January, 2013. God has charged The Dare 2 Be Different Victory Centre and The Mount Carmel Baptist Church to set the example to world as what True New Testament Church should be.
Read today's article at: http://openletters2012.blogspot.com/2012/12/an-open-letter-to-global.html
Moving Forward in January 2013, Dare 2 Be Different International and The Mount Carmel Baptist Church have partnered to introduce not only preaching and prayer, but much of our efforts will be on MEMBER EMPOWERMENT for OUR SUPPORTING MEMBERS. We will be creating and providing jobs, opening small businesses, helping current small business owners who are our members advertise, debt conselling, free legal advice to deal with debts and get them under control. With a closed government supply unit, we'll be importing basic needs such as flour, milk, rice and starting our own Supply Office.
We will ensure that between Dare 2 Be Different International and The Mount Carmel Baptist church, we have busineses selling nearly everything that our members need to keep money flowing among our members which is therefore empowering and encouraging.
We will be buying our own blocks making machines capable of producing 2000 blocks per day and importing tons of cement, steel, galvanize to help our members finally build houses or renovate.
We are preparing to restore the GLOW that should be on EVERY BELIEVER's FACE.
This is but 0.01% of our ideas for 2013 as Dare 2 Be Different turns 5 and Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones and The Mount Carmel Baptist Church celebrates 50 years of Radical Baptist Witness in St. Kitts - Nevis
Every Child we Christen at Mount Carmel or The Victory Centre, will fall under Sister Yvette Wallace's M.Ed Child Empowerment Ministry. While we do not encourage children out of wedlock, she will work with new mothers and fathers to teach them the proper care, old time mothods and teach them to read from early as she taugh her 4 sons to do from age 3. Mount Carmel & The Victory Centre is all about using all of our members.
We honestly don't care about a big church. What we care about is IMPACTING, EMPOWERING, EVANGELIZING and building the kingdom of God.
We refuse to let our members sit and die in a CRISES when we were placed on this earth to help. Sign up to be a Victory Centre Member at: www.thevictorycentre.com or send us an email at: office@mountcarmelbaptistonfire.com
We have partnered with Buses to run the entire St. Kitts Circle - Just ask to attend one of our services and we'll pick you up - even if it's you alone - That's how much we care about starting to help IMMEDIATELY
Don't Say We Never Extended Our Hand To Help - Call Sister Malvy at Mount Carmel for Transportation from the east - 869-762-4906
or Brother Khrystus for transportion from the West to attend either The Victory Centre Service at 8:30am or The Mount Carmel Baptist Service at 10am or both.
869-663-0114 / BB PIN: 2A3CBAA3 / Email: information@kwforchrist.com
You now have no excuse to miss church and say it was too early or too late. We'll be on the two sides of the islands, close to the bus route. Once you are apart of any of these two fellowships - you are guaranted Sound Preaching, Constant Prayer and Member Empowerment.
Be sure to be there on New Years Morning 2013 as we officially launch The Dr. William Connor Foundation and Ring The Bell To Signal the start of our 50 years of Celebration of Radical Baptist Witness across St. Kitts - Nevis as Dr. Jones and The Mount Carmel Baptist CHurch plan to lead the way and write the next 50 years of Baptist History Across The World
We promise to lead the way in Ministry in St. Kitts - Nevis, The Caribbean and The World from 2013 with a Fresh Vision

Mount Carmel Baptist & Dare 2 Be Different Partner To Turn World Upside Down

Merry Christmas From Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones & Congregation - Clip From Dr. Jones Christmas Sermon Inside
Dear Friend,
I write on behalf of Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones, the Baptist Stalwart that took over from Dr. William M. Connor when he passed years ago and wish you a Merry Christmas 2012 on behalf of the entire Mount Carmel Baptist Church - St. Kitts Congregation.
May you enjoy the day to the fullest and spend some good family time reflecting on Jesus - The Greatest and Best Gift the world was ever given.
If the Lord tarries, 2013 will mark 50 years of Radical Baptist Witness across St. Kitts - Nevis. Dr. Jones, who preached on Christmas Sunday, just two days ago, reminded his listeners of the Grand 50th Anniversary Celebration that we should plan, and that he was a founding member of the First Baptist Church in St. Kitts - Nevis - The Antioch Baptist Church. He stated that he was later was commissioned to Lodge by the late Dr. William Connor where he started a Sunday School then founded the Mount Carmel Baptist Church.
He told of Pastor Connor's Last Days in the USA and how he told him by his bedside to take over the mission and continue the great work that God was doing through the Baptists. Pastor Jones, although serving for over 52 years in ministry is still a Solid Preacher, preaching the uncompromising word of God. The Dare 2 Be Different Media Team (Internet TV - www.d2bdtv.com and Radio - www.d2bdradio.com) took this video clip from part of last Sunday's Message.
Pastor Jones made a heart touching statement from the pulpit and charged the youth to carry on the Legacy of Dr. William M. Connor and continue on with his vision. He reminded all listeners to never give up and shared of having moved to St. Kitts from Nevis and having to live in an empty house and then later work for KAWAJA FOOD CENTRE for $5 per week, then moving to the customs for $25 per week. He encouraged all by saying, "God will take care no matter the situation." Hear part of his encouragement in this video clip just 2 days old.
Dr. Jones challenged the congregation to use their ideas to let the Baptist Legacy live on and after service, he spoke with a few of us and told us that Mount Carmel needed to play an active role in celebrating 50 years and charged the group to come up with some ideas to present to the church in the evening after I preached the word of God.
When ever I'm given a challenge with regards to God's Kingdom business, I ensure that its given much prayer, thought, and top quality presentation. We would therefore like you, our global following to know about the Mount Carmel Baptist Church's creative, innovative, technological ideas to celebrate 50 Radical Years of Baptist Ministry and to lead the way in writing the next 50 years.
1. We will be establishing the Dr. William Connor Foundation(www.drwilliamconnorfoundation.org) to serve and empower people and other Baptist Ministries around the Caribbean and the world. It is through this foundation we plan to raise funds to EMPOWER AND GIVE BACK TO OTHERS, support missions and other ministries and not just take, take, take. We also plan to construct The New 21st Century Mount Carmel Baptist Complex which will house a 21st Century Sanctuary, Factories so that none of our members are ever unemployed, a youth club house, A Mall, Complex Pool for pool parties and other events, basketball court, football and cricket field and nextball / volley ball spaces. (Architectural Projections by GHW Architects Inc)
The current sanctuary would be renovated to house a dinner and a movie theatre and auditorium on the inside and the outside will become a drive in movie and National Christian Family Social Area.
Stay posted at: www.drwilliamconnorfoundation.org
2. We will be launching a local, regional and international appeal and walking in Dr. William Connor's Footsteps to plant more ministries. Therefore, we will be starting Training Unions in every Parish in St. Kitts - Nevis during 2013 and recruiting directors all across the world and supporting them by building websites, printing, etc and we will establish The Dr. William Connor Summer Exchange Camps and The Dr. William Connor Annual Children's Empowerment Rally
3. We will be starting the Mount Carmel Baptist Mobile Mission and getting radical about Evangelism. The Mount Carmel Baptist Train will make several stops around St. Kitts - Nevis during 2013 preaching and also replaying some of the great sermons from the late Pastor William Connor.
4. We will be finally ordaining Brother Valston Johnson as a minister of the gospel
5. We will be contacting churches all around the globe and sending our preachers to preach Dr. William Connor Memorial Crusades all around the globe and also give them exposure to missions. Churches that agree to host our preachers, we'll be donating to them a website or t-shirts, or pens, pencils or other promotional products or show them how to start their own internet radio and tv stations. While overseas, during the day, we'll hold empowerment sessions, reach the schools, hospitals etc, spread the gospel and share with the world about the late Dr. William Connor.
6. We will be releasing The Mount Carmel Baptist Boys Choir and Girls Choir Albums at www.djmerci.com and hosting The Dr. William Connor 50th Anniversary Memorial Concert to showcase God's talent and the next generation that will write the next 50 years of Baptist History.
Kindly pray for us as we carry on this Radical Baptist Work across the world and we look forward to receiving your invitation to preach at your church and empower your members soon - Email: office@mountcarmelbaptistonfire.com .
We fully believe in using all our members and their talents to the fullest degree, not keeping them back and giving them as much exposure as we can as they have the potential to do great things and that is what we'll be encouraging alot of in 2013.
Kindly enjoy this dance piece from Sister Jovil from last Sunday's Service. It was truly a blessing to all.
Thanks to our new adoption by Dare 2 Be Different International - www.daretobedifferentskn.com, we are now reaching the world using the internet and social media and getting contacts from many individuals across the globe whose lives were once impacted by the Mount Carmel Baptist Church or at The Antioch Baptist Church while Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones served.
Christmas Cheers!

The Mount Carmel Baptist Church (St. Kitts) and co-labourer in Christ - Dare 2 Be Different International has mutually pledged to get more aggressive with soul winning as they work TOGETHER to build the kingdom of God.
Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones, who has served over 52 years in ministry at The Mount Carmel Baptist and Brother Khrystus Wallace (ordained but prefers not to carry a title) of Dare 2 Be Different International started working together in ministry in early September 2012.
The new relationship is helping both ministries and members greatly.
The recent push by Mount Carmel Baptist to use Social Media having been encouraged by Dare 2 Be Different is showing the world that their ministry is still alive and well and working.
This falls under a joint project called - "A Soul A DAY PROJECT"
Say this prayer and mean it from your heart if you want to get saved TODAY. Dear Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner and I am very sorry for the sins I have done. I believe you shed your blood on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me of all of them. Your word tells me that if I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, I will be saved. Please come live in my heart and save me. In Jesus name – Amen.

No Room! No Room! At Mount Carmel Baptist Church - St. Kitts - Cayon High Rocks Church - Bishop Ron Collins Says To Forget The Past & Move On
"Dear Jesus, please provide for The Mount Carmel Baptist Church, a new piece of land that is suitable to house our future modern, technological and spacious Sanctuary, Studio and Auditorium. Please ensure that we get enough space and funding for our Pre-School to High School Academy, Our Baptist Supermarket, Business Incubator Spaces for our New Business owners to get a start after we train them and enough space for our Call Centre and Factory so that none of our members are ever unemployed. We claim it and cancel any delays and blockages in Jesus Name. Amen."
I personally felt a bit embarrassed to hear our ushers saying "NO ROOM! NO ROOM! You can try to get a space in the balcony or we can get you a chair for the outside." We had already packed nearly everywhere with extra seats. As I walked around the outer part of the church, people who were a bit late remained in their vehicles for the service.
I really know we encouraged our Mount Carmel Baptist members to go all out to invite individuals to attend our Friendship Sunday Service on Sunday, 21st October, 2012, but Honestly - our management team didn't expect such an enormously large crowd. We had prepared an enormous number of snacks and even after asking our members to let visitors have first, we still ran out.
I walked alway from the crowd a bit and "kinda" wished Jesus had showed up to bless and multiply the crates and the juice. Well he probably would have if we had really prayed, but we all have a bad way of worrying first, then praying after and also thinking that those things only can happen in Bible days. Ohhh Ye of Little Faith.. I won't make this too wordly, pictures and videos will tell it all. See Below. . . .
We refuse to be scared. We just have to pray and prepare indeed. We know that our general membership and youth membership especially will drastically increase over the next few weeks as we role out many of our new programs to empower our members and attendees ONLY. We definitely know that individuals are looking for a place to worship that focuses more on SOUND Bible Teachings and People Empowerment rather than running their pockets dry. We know individuals are looking for a place that will use them and get them involved and not bench them for years and use one set of people. This is the On Fire & Revived Mount Carmel. The Mount Carmel Baptist Church has taken on a new vision to GIVE MUCH INTO THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS, and not be named among organizations that are overdoing their REQUESTING and milking members dry.
The Church has some very new, innovative, creative programs that no Caribbean Church is involved in as yet, to empower their members. We are partnering with transport to be able to bus individuals from every corner of St. Kitts to be apart of this NEW THING that God is doing so they won't regret that they didn't in the future.
The event was covered by Dare 2 Be Different Internet TV - www.d2bdtv.com and Internet Radio - www.d2bdradio.com . Footage and coverage will be replayed all week this week.
Let's have a closer look at today in pictures.
Apart from the great worship experience, attendees begged for a second rendition from The Cayon High School Steel Orchestra. The Mount Carmel Baptist Boys Choir blessed hearts with their rendition of "Oh Happy Day" that featured Keyboard Veteran Brother Frank Claxton. Nobody else other than Sister Kerese Dias, Director of the Dare 2 Be Different Dance Theatre would have done a better job dancing to "It All Belongs To You." This fine dancer was once put on probation from dancing in a church group to stifle her talent, but is now actively involved in the lives of youth as she teaches to impact.

Kerese Dias to Minister at Mount Carmel Baptist Friendship Sunday
Always willing to give the youth a CHANCE, Kerese Dias was invited by The Mount Carmel Baptist Church leadership to do what she enjoys doing best - Ministering through dance at The Church's Friendship Sunday on Sunday, 21st October, 2012.
Khrystus Wallace, President of Dare 2 Be Different International which adopted Mount Carmel late September, 2012 is working to EMPOWER the young and the old to reach out further with their skills and go after their dreams. After preaching one of his last sermons at the church, he told the congregation that he will be helping the writers apart of the ministries to publish their own books for free through his connections, teach them how to use the computer and also fix computers along with many other skills.
Wallace is on a drive to work with Dare 2 Be Different and Mount Carmel Baptist Youth to bring out their own CDs, DVDs, Books, Music Videos etc. He firmly believes that one of the reasons the church is losing its young people is because it is not helping to empower them and encourage them to go after their dreams.
Kerese Dias is among the first youths slated to release. She will be releasing a Dance DVD with several of her pieces and Dare 2 Be Different International and The Mount Carmel Baptist Church will be endorsing her DVD and helping her along with other youths to expose their pieces across their large network of Victory Centres and Dare 2 Be Differents around the world.
Wallace is overly excited that Kerese may probably get many invitations to minister all across the world when her DVD goes global and may probably even get recruited by an international dance firm. Wallace commented, "through our EMPOWERMENT OF YOUTHS, something we know that our ministry is leading the way across the Caribbean Region and doing, we know that many of them will get the chance to travel with us to countries all across the globe when The Mount Carmel Baptist Church and Dare 2 Be Different holds mega crusades. That's simply why we are training and empowering them now - in the earlies. We're preparing them for GLOBAL MINISTRY AND KINGDOM BUILDING. Providing such opportunities will definitely attract other youths into the church because they will finally see that there is a FINALLY a Church in the Federation of St. Kitts - Nevis that not only cares about preaching, praying and collecting tithes and offerings, but also interested about EMPOWERING THEM."
Youth interested in becoming apart of Dare 2 Be Different or the Mount Carmel Baptist Church can contact the church via email at: office@mountcarmelbaptistonfire.com or Call Brother Khrystus 869-663-0114 / Blackberry Pin: 220067D8 or Sister Malvie James - 869-762-4906.

The Bible Says That God Will Allow You To Walk in Safety
The Bible says in 2 Samuel 22:37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
What a glorious word of comfort! Once we have our faith and trust in God, there are always benefits to be gained. One such is that God promises to take good care of you so that you always walk in safety.
There is a condition though, you must trust God as He always gives special care to those who love him.

Endure The Process by Khrystus Wallace preached at The Mount Carmel Baptist
Although St. Kitts was still experiencing the after effects of Tropical Storm Rafael, Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones decided that the weather was still good enough for church. He stated that he really expected just a handful, but was most grateful that the church turned out in its numbers.
Since electricity was out, the worship leader and congregation was ably assisted by the youths on the taborines and Brother Khrystus on his Acoustic Guitar. The Service was a blessing.
Having made a few comments, Dr. Jones introduced Brother Khrystus to deliver the Sunday Morning's Sermon. His God-Given powerful voice commanded the attention of everyone in attendance as they followed him throughout the delivery as he spoke on the topic - ENDURE THE PROCESS.
"We have to get to the point where we stop chatting people and carrying people's business here and there. We should only carry someone's business to someone else if we are discussing a plan to help them. We are brothers and sisters and we must be there for each other. We will ensure our ministry stands out as doing that. So when they bring news about you to me or about the sister to you, tell them that that "THERE IS HOPE FOR HIM OR HER and we're going to work to bring him back around. We are not writing off anyone in here any more. We done with that!" postulated Brother Wallace as the congregation cheered and shouted their amens.
He used throughout his presentation two of his favourite phrasees, "Don't Give Up!" and "Hope is Ahead"
Wallace's passage of scripture was Jeremiah 32:1-17 and 27. It is in this passage, the words are enforced, "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?"
Brother Khrystus, as he prefers to be called, although an ordained minister, constantly reminded his listeners that God is going to work it out for them, no matter the issue.
He outlined 5 of the world's failures that turned GLOBAL SUCCESSES and encouraged his congregation again. "KVK and Dare 2 Be Different and Mount Carmel will be some of the region's and world's biggest employers despite our challenging time now. Those who are speaking bad about us and pulling us down now, like Joseph's brothers, they will NEED US, they won't be able to survive without us. Watch and See! We have no choice but to remember to look out for those especially that are looking out for us now. Let's look at these examples of FAILURES TURNED SUCCESSES and be encouraged."
Henry Ford: While Ford is today known for his innovative assembly line and American-made cars, he wasn't an instant success. In fact, his early businesses failed and left him broke five times before he founded the successful Ford Motor Company.
R. H. Macy: Most people are familiar with Macy’s, a large department store chain, but Macy didn't always have it easy. Macy started seven failed business before finally hitting big with his store in New York City.
Walt Disney: Today Disney rakes in billions from merchandise, movies and theme parks around the world, but Walt Disney himself had a bit of a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." After that, Disney started a number of businesses that didn't last too long and ended with bankruptcy and failure. He kept working hard, however, and eventually found a recipe for success that worked.
Thomas Edison: In his early years, teachers told Edison he was "too stupid to learn anything." Work was no better, as he was fired from his first two jobs for not being productive enough. Even as an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Of course, all those unsuccessful attempts finally resulted in the design that worked.
Wallace assured the parents and students in attendance that he will be always in their corner fighting for them as he is fully against teachers and schools writing off students before assessing their situation and he isn't afraid of anyone. "Call me parents and students, especially when they want to write you off and I'll leave what I'm doing to represent you especially at schools." Wallace said.
He shared his personal experience of being a scholar from Dr. William Connor Primary through to High School always in A1s but being kicked into 5A2 at the Verchilds High School due to the pressures and pain that children experience living in an adulterous home.
Wallace said, "Many times teachers don't care, they don't ask to find out. Nobody inquired as to why this scholar's grades had gone south but I was determined to make this an example and God helped me to do it. I was the first A2 student, as far as I know to become Valedictorian across St. Kitts - Nevis and I'll tell this story everywhere I go around the world, to enact change and encourage our youths to ENDURE THE PROCESS and always stay HOPEFUL because they can be SUCCESSES TOO. I will tell it to encourage teachers to not just TEACH, but get involved in the lives of children too."
Before turning back over to Dr. Jones, Senior Pastor at The Mount Carmel Baptist Church - www.mountcarmelbaptistonfire.com , Wallace shared many things that were accomplished this week with regards to Dare 2 Be Different and Mount Carmel Baptist Vision Plan.
One of the updates that particularly excited the church was the information that Mount Carmel Baptist / Dare 2 Be Different Farmers will soon be exporting particular organic products grown locally to California to produced end products there and he was finalizing the details with the USA company. He also encouraged writers in the church to start writing and gave a few example ideas. Wallace stated that he is not a preacher that is all about himself, but he wanted the entire church to be successful too and he can help them publish their books for free because of his connections.
"The youth singers apart of this church, we'll be helping them write songs and using my brother's studio - www.djmerci.com so that our young people can have their own albums and even books too and start making their own dollar from young."
Wallace inspired the church further by saying, "I'm no great singer, but search online for my music album and you'll see you can buy the full album or buy one song or buy a ringtone. I did it to show young people that you can do it too. You can earn a living from your talents and we will take you far. "
Wallace pledged to work along with Dare 2 Be Different and Mount Carmel Baptist members only for a considerable amount of time before considering other ministries because while out ALONE in the wilderness for four (4) years from 2008 - 2012 doing such a wonderful work for Jesus, no church willingly approached to worked fully along with his vision like Mount Carmel Baptist did.
Dr. Jones took the microphone and commented, "We thank God for another powerful word from Brother Wallace. We are truly grateful for him. God is really going to use him to take us far. Just listening to him and his dreams and ideas, it sounds like he's a prophet." The church laughed.
The adults and especially the youths are already catching Brother Wallace's heart of helpfulness which is lacking among so many ministers in so many churches around the globe. After service, a little girl handed over her laptop to Brother Wallace to fix at his www.thecompudoctors.com business. Members and of The Mount Carmel Baptist Church and Dare 2 Be Different Victory Centre would never have to pay for computer repairs. Wallace is a firm believer that there should be MANY BENEFITS of being apart of a church body because if Jesus was walking on earth today, everything would not have just been by OVERDOING IT and pulling all of member's money by using psychology, but rather HELPING HIS FOLLOWERS.
Wallace told the church, "We will stop using old ancient ways of fundraising from today. We will use the innovation to raise funds around the globle. Many of the fundraisers that we hold around the globe using the technology, those that help and participate will benefit. I will be heading to each group soon to tell you more in detail about this creative fundrasier and how you will get a US$40 compensation for each individual or company you recruit. The more people and businesses we get apart of this network, the more funds our church will raise annually to support the work. No one will be able to resist our offer so it won't be a hard task." Wallace said that he was going to use this plan to establish a minimum recurring income of US$100,000 within 1 year, to run the church and he believed that The Church should never be an organization suffering due to lack of funds."

BISHOP DR. KELVIN JONES to officially release 1st Church Website Soon
Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones told his Mount Carmel Baptist Congregation on Sunday 7th October, 2012 during the morning service that he was overly pleased to be working along with the FRESH VISION of Khrystus Wallace of Dare 2 Be Different International as both bodies join hands to build the Kingdom of God.
"We're happy for the addition! We're happy for the ideas! We're happy for the Technology! Amen? Amen! Say Amen man - Amen belongs to the church!"
The 1st Dare 2 Be Different Victory Centre will be birth out of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in St. Kitts and all Victory Centres that Brother Khrystus plans to plant around the world will fall directly under Bishop Dr. Kelvin and 1st Lady Jones.
Jones told the congregation in a previous service that Brother Khrystus Wallace grew up under his ministry while he was the WELL ABLED PASTOR of the Antioch Baptist Church founded by Dr. William M. Connor. He further stated that he was the one who taught him in converts class and he was the one that baptized him too and he was more than humbled to welcome him back to serve and to work along with his FRESH VISION as nothing happens before its time.
Dr. Jones made those comments during the latter part of September 2012 after Brother Wallace delivered a sermon that turned the church upside down and saw several youth and adults move forward for Salvation and about 75% of the church respond to the altar call.
Jones, who has been serving in ministry for over 52 years will be releasing the church's 1st website - www.mountcarmelbaptistonfire.com very soon. This interactive website is expected to inform the world of Mount Carmel's History, beliefs, updates and a feature so that global supports can automatically give and support the ministry. The website will also feature an interactive link to Dare 2 Be Different's Internet TV and Radio. Some services and events are expected to be carried live from the church's website.
Dr. Jones and Brother Khrystus will be launching a new Radio and TV program on Dare 2 Be Different Internet Radio - www.d2bdradio.com and TV - www.d2bdtv.com and on YOUTUBE called DIGGING DEEP. The program would be a Bible Study that gets indepth into the word of God and provides sound teaching which is lacking in many lives of Christians.
This initiative falls well along with the international vision and mission of the duo-ministry which is to IMPACT THE WORLD. As God provides, Jones and Wallace plan to send preachers within the network to its different branches around the world on mission trips and to also help establish churches too as the world is expected to be continually kept up to date on the plans via the use of technology.
Brother Khrystus Wallace, addressing The Mount Carmel Baptist Church congregation on Sunday 7th said, "I am asking everyone to get a membership registration form to ensure that we have you well documented and we see where we can start getting your involved immediately. We are going to get back to what New Testament Church really is. Not just preaching and praying and collecting tithes and offerings. We will be helping and empowering our members too. We will be teaching them how to bake bread, how to sew, how to fix computers, how to use the computers, how to make sweet potatoto and breadfruit flour, local drinks etc etc.
We will be starting our Cooperative which would allow us to shop in bulk and bring in food so that our members DO NOT have to suffer from high food prices and prices of other goods anymore. Effective immediately, we will begin to put in place The Mount Carmel Baptist Academy. This will see us adding computers to the church so that we can provide Information Technology training to this side of the island along with evening and homework classes for children and adults. We will be teaching afternoon CXC classes on this side of the island too and empowering and entering students to write CXC subjects. This is what CHURCH is about."
Dare 2 Be Different International - www.d2bdifferent.com has been tutoring classes, helping with SBAs and entering students for CXC Subjects on the other side of the island of St. Kitts for the past 10 years. Students register through www.thecompudoctors.com. Wallace told the church that as he goes on grant seeking appeals around the world, The Educational Grant apart of The Super 8 Project would cover both the establishment of full training institutes - The Dare 2 Be Different Academy and Bible Institute that will serve the western side of St. Kitts while The Mount Carmel Baptist Academy would serve the opposite end of the island. Both will be guided by former 20 year teaching veteran, 10 year headteacher and 5 year Education Officer - Mrs. Yvette Wallace, M.Ed.
The congregation cheered and gave a rousing applause as Wallace outlined the combined Mount Carmel Baptist and Dare 2 Be Different Fresh Vision.
Wallace handed over The Dare 2 Be Different Super 8 Project Grant Proposal to Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones in receiving it exclaimed from the microphone, "This is a 30 Million USD Dream and we have no doubt that God will see it through!"
The plan includes the vision of Dare 2 Be Different's Multi-Million Dollar Mission Centre Vision of Khrystus Wallace presented online at: http://hopeisahead.blogspot.com/2012/05/st-kitts-nevis-may-probably-be-home-to.html
Brother Dillon and Jennifer Sirjue, renowned architects attached to GWH ARCHITECTURAL in St. Kitts are the ones charged with putting together the Architectural Vision Plan for the project in time for Wallace's Pitch to Donors and Investors before the year is out.
The Mount Carmel Baptist Church Large Blue and White Coaster Bus will now start collecting Dare 2 Be Different Victory Centre members and interested attendees from Boyds from 9am each Sunday and travel along the Island Main Road collecting folks until it reaches Bourryeau in time for its 10am service.
Bishop Kelvin Jones, Senior Pastor recommended that Wallace begin to do that until everything is in order to launch The Dare 2 Be Different Victory Centre on the other side of the island and took the opportunity to invite individuals from all around St. Kitts to join the NEW THING that God will be doing through The Mount Carmel Baptist Church and Dare 2 Be Different International.
"I can feel your energy Brother Wallace. I can feel it. I was just like that when I was younger. We started Sunday Schools all over the place. I am most grateful for your help. Your invitation to preach at Mount Carmel was all apart of a God Setup and with you and the technology, Mount Carmel Baptist and The Victory Centre will be the number one churches in the Federation, making the BIGGEST POSITIVE impact on the saved and building The Kingdom of God in the process."
"We're happy for the addition! We're happy for the ideas! We're happy for the Technology! Amen? Amen! Say Amen man - Amen belongs to the church!"

Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones, after 52 years in ministry, still plays the keyboard at church at times
Having been in ministry for over 52 years, Bishop Dr. Kelvin Jones, still plays the keyboard at The Mount Carmel Baptist Church at times. You really don't find this among many pastors now because as soon as they receive the Pastoral Post, they are higher than everyone else and have seemed to lost the command of Jesus to be servants.
Cheers to Dr. Kelvin Jones - a True Pastor Indeed!

Brief History of The Mount Carmel Baptist Church
Brief History of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church
Following the birth of the Antioch Baptist Church on the 5th March 1963, the Lord led the late Sis. Marjorie Weekes who was very sick to turn over her Sunday School which was being held in the only rented two story building at Lodge Project on 10th May 1963.
Pastor William Connor saw it fit to ask Kelvin Jones to take charge of that Sunday School. Now Pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist.
"Immediately, I started attending the Sunday School assisted by Marie Weekes and her sister Kathleen Weekes. These were of great help to the work. The work grew rapidly. Pure love was demonstrated among the workers and the people. The Sunday school grew so rapidly that it now was ordained into a full church called the LODGE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Shortly after taking over, we started holding Vacation Bible School, revival Services etc. The work began to grow by leaps and bounds. The building became too small and we therefore sought to purchase land to build a larger building so that we would have enough space.
We were offered land in several places, but they were not good enough. Eventually God, using Sis. Rosalie Kelly, we were able to purchase land from Mr. Clive Jordon, former Estate Owner of Bourryeau Village, St. Kitts, West Indies. WE now have a beautiful building resting on once acre of land called the MT.CARMEL BAPTIST CHURCH."
