Chairman's Message

A Word for this Time
History has never before recorded such great challenges as within this 21st century when there is a great demand for the authentication and dissemination of truth to dispel falsehood. As Christians, our firm belief is founded on the Bible. It serves as the sole authority for information and life. Also emerging from it, is God’s Road Map for relating to Him and other human relationship. The Wesleyan Holiness Church, Jamaica District, believes that this website will help to reach the world and allow God to take priority and complete control of your life. As we challenge you to commit yourselves to God, we also challenge ourselves to be good servants of God, operating as agents of change in this world; we will be like the prophet Ezekiel, the watchman of the city; and Jeremiah, the weeping prophet; the seven deacons, taking care of the poor and neglected; and like Jesus who confronted men of sins and offered them salvation. We trust, as you explore this website and learn more about us, that the peace of God be yours; may His joy fill your hearts and that you'll find rest in Him. God’s blessing be with you. Rev. George Lynch, District Superintendent, Eastern Jamaica District January 2022 |
