A Church for All

 

"Wisdom, prophetic insight, healing, love, and light are among some of the gifts carried in the womb, (the birthing place) of this sage to all those who will receive same. Hence, she has given spiritual birth to many pastors and leaders, encouraging us to awaken to who we are and all that we are as well as accept same. Her strong faith, calm demeanor, gentle tone, and sweet personality is inviting and makes it easy for one to be held loving accountable as we stand corrected and begin to choose again. Like the ocean, her love is unending; her will is undaunting; and that which she offers in spirit is diverse, beautiful, and plenteous. To experience and connect with Mamma Loraine, as we affectionately call her, is to create positive ripple effects in one's life leading to enlightenment. Simply put, her influence in our lives has encouraged us to live spiritually wholesome lives. This daughter of Zion, elder, healer, mystic, warrior woman, and fruit of the vine radiates the positive energies of the Divine and displays the ancient wisdom of the ancestors. She is our spiritual mother who continues to guide us on our path to the Sacred Reality (the I Am that I Am) through prayers, talks, dreams, spiritual works, and more. We love you to life. Amen, Ase, and So it Is! "

Winston Godfrey Campbell

Winston Godfrey Campbell

Ancestor

 

"Winston Campbell was a community leader loved by all in his community for his numerous works to improve the lives of those with whom he came in contact. A life line and mentor to many, he utilized his own personal resources to help ensure that many children had the opportunity to obtain an education, providing school uniforms, books, and lunch money. Additionally, he provided gainful employment for young men and women, whom he taught his trade as a ceiling contractor, for they had no apparent employable skill set. Consequently, he helped lessen the despair of the young people who gathered idly on the street corners as well as reduced the violence. This ambitious man who dropped out of school at the age of 14 to find work to provide for his mother became the owner of his own businesses and a few properties, He is also credited with installing the ceilings of many of the businesses in Jamaica, which are inclusive of but not limited to government buildings, financial institutions, hotels, retail spaces, and more. Besides, he also worked on the US Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay. I honor my father for the man he was and for having been a loving parent and husband as well a faithful provider. His immense love for God was evident in his love for and service to all with whom he came in contact. I love you Baba!"
