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!
