GREETINGS FROM THE ASI JAMAICA UNION PRESIDENT – CECIL FOSTE

As we bid farewell to 2023, I encourage us to take a moment to reflect on our incredible journey in spite of the many challenges faced.

We began the year with renewed energies to overcome the setbacks of Covid 19 pivoting on the collective efforts of each ASi Chapter to accomplish and even surpass our goals.

Our unwavering commitment to “Share Christ in the Marketplace” resulted in, but not limited to: 

* The successful Union-wide Evangelistic Series resulting in over 1,000 baptisms

* The successful hosting of ASi IAD Convention 2023

* The incorporation of the North East Castor Bean Company

* The elections in the West Jamaica and North East Chapters

* The Sponsorship of the rebranded Word of Hope to “Footprints of Hope” Television Broadcast

* The successful hosting of Public Campus Ministries

* Several Health Fairs to benefit underserved communities

* The continued dedicated work from the members of the Think Tank

* Recommendations for monetizing the Union’s assets

* Collaboration with various conferences to enrich its constituents

These achievements were accomplished through the guidance from our faithful heavenly Father whose love and goodness kept running after us, even during moments when we sought to run away from Him. Your resilience is a testament of what can be achieved when we are aligned to a common cause. Your tireless efforts and passion for excellence have impacted the lives of diverse groups, brought joy and hope to those on the margins of society, and amplified our determination to “Break out of our Walls” in an effort to impact more in 2024.

ASiers possess the capacity to enrich the lives of those we encounter in our daily vocations. I encourage us to leverage our strengths using our God-given talents to share the good news of salvation and the return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Let us continue to align with the Team Work, inclusivity, capacity building, with the confidence that “He who has started a good work in us will carry it to the end”.

My prayer is for all Chapter presidents and their executive, every ASi member, your families, and the leadership of the Jamaica Union of Seventh-day Adventists experience a refreshing from the Holy Spirit in 2024 and beyond.

   BREAK OUT OF YOUR WALLS!!!
