Shantamee
Pastor Norman Jackson & Minister Denalea Jackson
Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. He that hath begun a good work will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. For I am persuaded that NOTHING will be able to separate us from God's Love. It's not by might nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord.
Through many dangers toils and snares, we have already come, twas grace that brought us safe thus far, and grace will lead us home.Fifty years is a relatively long time, for any organization to have continued, even after being taken to the varying courts across the Island of Jamaica, thirty (30) times. Our Founders Bishop Purcell C & Evangelist Miriam A. Jackson toiled, keeping all "God's Way", even when the odds where heavily stacked against us, they knew who had the FINAL say, Jesus has the final say. He blocked "IT", all that would have stopped our progress.
Countless others have contributed and still contribute to this great work. The different branches across the Island continues to play their collective rolls when requested. There have been several casualties, but God.
I thank Almighty God for choosing me to have started this journey from it's inception (11.11.73). God has enabled me to have, evangelized and pastored across the Island. I've been for the past twenty years (20), going twenty one (21) now, providing pastoral oversight for the flock, along with my beautiful wife, Minister Denalea M. Jackson, and the officers in the cool, cool hills of Shantamee District, Spring Hill Portland. I was privileged by God to be one of the pioneers who begun this branch, thirty three (33) plus, years ago (11.06.90).
This branch has grown, spiritualy physicaly, numericaly and otherwise. I am humbled and grateful that God still affords me the strength, courage and faith in the continuation, of my service to Him, and His people.
God can only use a soldier He can trust. He's trusted, and entrusted me, to lead His people thus, I'll continue to be a true soldier, and die, if it so pleases the Lord, at my post.
