Jesus Week 2005

Director of Operation Mobilisation (OM) Peter Maiden, addresses the congregation gathered at the Abundant Life Assembly for the opening service of Jesus Week.

There is a danger faced by churches in Barbados which lies in the advent of secularism and materialism pervading its walls. This is the fear articulated by Director of Operation Mobilisation (OM), Peter Maiden, who delivered the message at yesterday's service signalling the opening of Jesus Week 2005, held at the Abundant Life Assembly.

"Materialism broke the heart of church in the UK." Maiden noted, saying that this occurred as a result of worshippers feeling they no longer needed anything more than what they had.

"They no longer felt they needed to come together," he explained, urging those in attendance to ensure that such did not occur in Barbados.

"I pray that such will never happen to the church of Barbados, that you will always see a great need for God as without Him we can do nothing," Maiden reiterated.

"God is calling on the churches of our nation to come together in direct obedience to Him and His mandate in terms of what He wants to achieve for Barbados," agreed chair of the Jesus Week team, Patrick Tannis who spoke with the Barbados Advocate at yesterday's opening service. < Read more >

Compliments of the Advocate News

Both sides of the political divide in Barbados, as well as all of the religious denominations on the island, have thrown their full support behind the Jesus Week activities, which run from May 6 to 14.

Speaking at a press conference at the House of Assembly, Speaker of the House Ishmael Roett stated that although Parliament was often considered a place that did not support such activities, there were many Members of Parliament on both sides that had given their lives to Christ and acknowledged the important role He played in helping them to carry out their work. He added that Jesus Week had nothing to do with political parties and both Prime Minister Owen Arthur and Leader of the Opposition Clyde Mascoll fully supported the venture and all of the MPs would be fully involved in the celebrations. < Read more >
