THE Voice of Faith Miracle Ministries Churches in Guyana (VoFMM) and Suriname will hold their international convention this year in Nickerie, Suriname. Proceedings will run from August 23 to 31, under the theme “Prophetic visions in dark places.”

According to a release from the VoFMM church at Devonshire Castle on the Essequibo Coast, more than sixty persons, including scores of young people, are expected to attend from Region 2 and from Moruca in the Barima-Waini Region 1 area. The release said another group of church members from the Mongrippa Hill church and from River’s View (opposite Bartica) would also attend the one-week, Holy Ghost filled convention.

Pastor Rocky of the Devonshire Castle church (Rajendra Prabhulall) said several persons who are not members of the Voice of Faith church but are standing Christians in other churches have asked to attend the convention and have being given a great welcome to be part of God’s family.

Pastor Rocky, who is listed to speak at several sessions of the God-fearing convention, has said that the Ministries, through the faith of God, will be providing free food, water, soft drinks and accommodation to all persons attending the convention. He said scores of persons are expected from Orella and Siparuta, Amerindian communities in the Corentyne River, and from Apura Town, also on the Suriname bank of the river.

Pastor Rocky said the annual convention, which can be compared to the overflowing of a river, is an occasion when Christians can get in the overflow and enjoy the great blessings of God. It’s a time of refreshing and great joy, and the Ministries are making sure that everyone with a great desire to get in the overflow attends the convention, he declared.

Pastor Rocky said the Voice of Faith Miracle Ministries church in Suriname, which is headed by Pastor Norman Felix, is currently making all the preparations in Nickerie for the convention. He said the great Holy Ghost convention will have a morning session each day, lasting from 09.00hrs to 12.30hrs and a night session from 19.00hrs to 22.30hrs.

Pastor Rocky also said there will be special sessions for youths to give them guidance in terms of their teenage life and the Word of God, the dangers of drugs, living a blessed and holy life before the Lord, teenage pregnancies, suicide, and the danger of HIV/AIDS.
He said sessions will also be held for husbands and their wives, and special counselling will be done with persons experiencing marriage problems with broken homes and fractured relationship.

The Ministries are also appealing to persons/businesses in Guyana that might want to contribute in some way to help in this great convention, or persons who are in need of help in their lives to overcome sickness and/or depression and/or frustration and/or abuse and/or being rejected by families etc and might be interested in attending the life changing convention. The Ministries are asking such persons to please call on telephone # 693- 4394 or 771-5132 for more information.

Pastor Rocky said that, at the convention, the membership would be praying for the continued development of both Guyana and Suriname. Prayers would also be made for the respective Government, Members of Parliament, the Army, Police and their agriculture and mineral industries, among other things.

The flags of both countries will be on the International convention stage.

Reports are that persons from across Suriname, its capital Paramaribo and neighbouring country French Guiana, are expected to attend in large numbers.
