Reclaiming the night – Bahamas Harvest Church hosts special prayer service this Sunday in face of rise in violent crime –

I

n light of the recent surge in crime impacting the New Providence community, Bahamas Harvest Church is taking a proactive stance with the upcoming "Reclaim the Night" corporate prayer service.

Scheduled for this Sunday, January 28, at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheatre starting at 6pm, the event seeks to address the growing concerns and answer the vital question: “What is the church doing to assist in this warfare against crime? We pray.”

Led by Pastor Mario Moxey, Bahamas Harvest Church is collaborating with numerous pastors from

across the city to unite in prayer for the reclaiming of the night. This collective effort extends beyond the church walls, inviting families, schools, and the wider community to join in a powerful night of intercession.

Pastor Moxey said: “As a church community, we cannot remain silent in the face of increasing crime.

'Reclaim The Night' is our collective response—a strategic, intentional and faith-filled approach to addressing the challenges we are facing and a strong way to end our 21-day Daniel Fast. Together with fellow pastors, families, and the community at large, we will fervently pray for

God's intervention and restoration in our beloved Bahamas."

The prayer service will focus on reclaiming the night from the grip of fear, violence and insecurity.

Pastors, churches, and families will join in lifting their voices to seek divine guidance and protection for the nation.

This event is open to all members of the community, irrespective of religious affiliation.

The organisers said they extend a warm invitation to schools, families, businesses and individuals to come together in unity for an evening of impactful prayer and worship.

Ordained in the Kingdom \By ALESHA CADET Tribune Features Writer acadet@tribunemedia.net

– Family Life leaders look forward to young members On what will be its eighth anniversary as a church, joining their ranks – the Family Life Kingdom Centre is hosting its third ordination service on Sunday, February 11.

Hosted by Apostle Ryan Bethell and Prophetess Laverne Bethell, the service will take place at the church on Carmichael Road beginning at 4pm. It will also be streaming live on the Family Life Kingdom Centre’s YouTube page.

“Our church is about building healthy family relationships, one family at a time; that is our core vision,” said Apostle Bethell in an interview with Tribune Religion.

He said ordaining more ministers, pastors and deacons adds to the leadership of the church and assists them in building the kingdom of God. “That is why we are bringing on more deacons, ministers and pastors to help with the load. This is actually our third ordination on our eight anniversary,” said Apostle Bethell.

Those to be ordained in February are Pastor Elect Minister Tre Evans, Minister Elect Deacon Deshawn Sturrup, Deacon Elect Glen Russell, Deacon Elect Jermaine Glinton, Deacon Elect Camron Pratt, Pastor Elect Minister Kristia Evans, Minister Elect Latoya Goffe, Deaconess Elect Stephanie Pratt, Deaconess Elect Deborah Charlton, and Deaconess Elect Racquel Johnson.

“Every time we had an ordination we also blew it up like this because I feelm personally, any kind of work you are doing for the kingdom of God is a major assignment because there is no government that is greater than God’s kingdom,” said Apostle Bethell.

He said the workload of their church is increasing as the number of members continues to grow, and they are delighted for several young members to be joining their ranks.

“You have persons like Camron Pratt, a very young man at 24 years old who is going to be breaking records because there is no one at this young age being elevated in the church thus far.

Then we have Minister Elect Tre Evans who is the director of youth. Both he and his wife, Minister Kristia, are being elevated to pastoral ministry. They are all busy young persons who are very helpful in the upbringing of the church,” he said.

These individuals, he said, are being moved from just sitting in the pew during Sunday service to actively participating in church business.

APOSTLE Ryan and Prophetess Laverne Bethell.

“Now on this level, they can assist with teachings and being leaders. They now have the opportunities to build others like they were built,” said Apostle Bethell.

“I feel great about this and I always love to see people be elevated to be all they can be. Just as it is in the natural world, it is in the church. God looks to elevate persons and live a kingdom lifestyle here on earth, not when you get to heaven.

So I call it a privilege. I am the biggest servant in the church; it is about serving.”

“All these persons are moving from being lay members to now being in the leadership of the church where they will lead ministries. I am looking forward to the people giving them the same honour and reverence that they would give to all leadership. When you have that good relationship with persons it is so much easier.”

Apostle Bethell said he was led by the spirit of the Lord to select those who will be ordained next month.

“Notice their names are elects, and they’ve been elects for quite some time.

They had lots of teaching and training and they know exactly what is expected of them. Everyone has a role to play. Every last one of them has my phone number and I answer them all; it is all about family,” he said.

“The church (in general) has lost so much relevance, so we re trying to re-write that stuff. The church is a family and when you come, you don’t want to feel ostracised or judged.”

Apostle Bethell said members are trying to create a place of love - hence the name of the church, Family Life Kingdom Centre.

“We are all about family and we want persons to know that the church is where it’s at. God created the human race so He has the best plan for us all. We have a serious criminal problem going on in this country, but I tell people, if

you fix the family, we will get rid of all these problems.

Every visitor that we have, I keep in touch with - for the past eight years - we are all about touching people,” said Apostle Bethell.
