Multi-purpose building
Labelled a visionary by many of his peers, the bishop is also the envy of many pastors for the multi-purpose building which houses his church. He built the church big, long before he had people to fill it. The building also has a studio where persons can obtain DVDs and CDs of the sermons delivered on a Sunday morning by the time the service is over. Also, Bishop Johnson, who has been the host and presenter of the 'Showers of Pentecost' radio programme for the past 30 years, uses the studio facilities there to produce the audio file for delivery to Radio Jamaica weekly. The programme is broadcast on Sunday nights between 10:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

Bishop Johnson hinted that there is not much left in his ministry as a clergyman that he has not accomplished, but he intends to keep preaching as long as God gives him the strength. His ministry is in demand and more congregations are seeking to have him preach there. High on his radar for ministry in the immediate future is Africa, Italy and Trinidad. He expects to answer that call before long.

I have always admired the Jamaican churches in New York. In New York City, great West Indian churches have sprung up under Bishop Mike Mitchell, Bishop Devon Dawson, Bishop Lincoln Graham, Sr. and Bishop Arthur Thomas [District Supt of NYMD] .... their worship is exciting and their consecration genuine.

I know of the contributions and influence the Trout family and Steward family have had on the island. Of course, the Jamaican church has not been immune from controversy.

I am glad I got to see a microcosm of these great people of God in NYC.

Thought I'd share the above article about a oneness org in Jamaica. Interesting to see this particular Oneness org's views on divorce, women in the ministry and succession to head bishop.

Any thoughts, comments, etc?
