The Cayman Islands Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has been hosting its Footprints of Hope evangelistic campaign since April 3 at the Lions Centre in George Town. Hundreds of people are visiting the Centre each night to hear televangelist pastor Glen O. Samuels deliver impassioned sermons.

Pastor Shian O’Connor, president of the Cayman Islands Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, said the church is “committed to offering a better way to those who long for a brighter future; to young people who see their peers succumbing to drugs and violence and despair, there is a better way; for families that are being ripped apart by strife and confusion, there is a better way; for a society that faces darkness and despair, there is a better way; and that better way can be found in a life surrendered to Jesus.”

Ministers have baptised 68 persons at the campaign’s baptismal service, which was conducted at Spotts Beach on Saturday (18).

“We are delighted for the 68 precious souls who have taken the step to commit their lives to Jesus,” said Pastor Samuels. “In this time of hopelessness in many areas of life, it is good to know that we can find hope, purpose and direction in a life dedicated to the service of the Lord.”

The programme runs from 7:30 p.m. each night except Thursday. Attendees also listen to health lectures, and health screenings are carried out during the meetings.

Young people have also gotten involved in the Footsteps of Hope campaign, which hosts a weekly Saturday evening youth forum where drama and interactive discussions are used to address certain youth-focused issues.
