Home/ NJM Surpasses Baptismal Goal for 2008

The North Jamaica Mission of Seventh-day Adventists has exceeded its baptismal goal for 2008. The Mission has a total baptismal figure of 1,181, fifty-siX (56) more than the target of 1,125.

"We can only give all the praise and thanks to God," said Pastor Michael Harvey, President of North Jamaica Mission. "He has been blessing our Mission on so many ways. Not only are we seeing an influx of new believers from the Pentecost and More programme since the start of the year, but we have witnessed tremendous improvements in other areas in the Mission. Something great is happening in the North, and we are eternally grateful to God for the work of the pastors and lay workers who are steadfast in soul-winning, and also for those who are accepting the message of truth."
