By press release

All things are possible to him that believes. There are many strange pronouncements in the Holy Scriptures. Believers in Jesus Christ must be prepared to face contradictions and ridicule when they endeavor to pursue a life of faith.

It is with an undaunted faith in an unchanging GOD, who is unfailing with his “Divine Promises”, that I as a follower of the “Lonely Nazarene”, who is also the “Conquering Lamb”, endeavored to pursue a path in the political arena that was never pursued in Antigua & Barbuda before, and until now I have not heard attempted under a democratic banner anywhere on earth. This project is to gather a group of “Christian Leaders” who will serve as an oversight group of a Patriotic Democratic Movement, that will coach and help seventeen (17) men and women who are committed to upright, honest and moral governance in Antigua & Barbuda.

Looking at the odds of achieving success with natural talent, acumen, human resources and determination, gives one a feeling of futility. But with forty seven (47) years (forty eight (48) by January 2010) as a “Believer in the World’s Number One (1) Miracle Worker: Jesus Christ, the Son of God”; I feel a surge of confidence and a ”Strength of Purpose” that I can literally taste when I speak to the Heavenly Father of the potential of this now endeavor.

Each time I ask an individual: “Are you a Patriot?” and look in their eyes, there is an intoxicating feeling of victory. Every person I have asked that question is either put on the spot or kept on the spot. Whether they are a patriot in commitment and lifestyle, they feel compelled to answer in the affirmative or to keep silent. I am convinced of the “Guiding Hand of the Divine” in every step of getting this movement up and running.

The hardworking and faithful core of volunteers that have gathered around me to encourage, support, identify with, help and sacrifice to see this movement take over the reins of leadership and governance in our nation; is energizing and can even become intoxicating if the mantle of humility is overlooked. Day by day I must continually be reminded of the Biblical truth: “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall”. The fact remains that there is a feeling of confidence and assurance that Antigua and Barbuda will awake and arise to follow the Path of Peace, Progress and Prosperity. The clarion call goes out to men and women of goodwill in this nation. “Gird your loins and join the battle”, be ready to do your part to see true democracy prevail in our nation: working for the good of all.  

In short I want to use this opportunity at the “Dawn of a New Year” to rally all who love GOD and this country to join with me to see the spirit of patriotism flourish in our nation, clothed in honesty and integrity.  

Dear Reader, you may ask: “Where does this contagious confidence originate? Sure and simple the answer is in GOD’s unfailing Word, the Bible. Read and study carefully the following words of Jesus:

(Mark 9: 23); “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”  

(Matthew 19:26); “With men this is impossible, but with GOD all things are possible”

(Mark 10:27); “With men it is impossible, but not with GOD: for with GOD all things are possible”

(Luke 18:27); “The things that are impossible with men are possible with GOD”

My fellow patriots, that’s the kind of stuff that fortifies and energies me!

In closing I must entreat you to join in fasting every Friday of January 2010. This fasting should be observed by each individual in a way that pleases GOD accordingly to your personal knowledge and ability. Time must be set aside to read and meditate on GOD’s Word and talk to GOD about our personal relationship with him and those around us. Fasting involves abstinence of food, drink and pleasure as individuals devote time to soul searching and pursuing the will of GOD as revealed in his word and the quickening conscience.  

Later in the year there will be a gathering for some of the forty (40) days of prayer and fasting. Indeed I implore you dear reader: Join this national encounter with a new way. You can get in touch with us at 785-5796 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .  

Our next meeting will be at the Pastoral Centre (formerly Benjies Printery, Michaels Mount), 7:00pm, Thursday 7th January 2010. All are welcomed. May the New Year be a blessed one for everyone and our nation.
