Ministry in Jamaica 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After being in hiatus for many years, and through a series of God ordained circumstances, New Creation made a glorious return to the Jamaican Gospel scene as New Creation Generation International (NCGI). \u00a0New Creation members, along with\u00a0their offspring (fondly referred to as \u201cNext Genners\u201d) converged from various corners of the globe to the land of the group\u2019s birth during July 2012, to formally relaunch its ministry while participating in the Jamaica 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of independence celebrations.\u00a0 NCGI performed at Fun In The Son, a premier gospelfest sponsored by Jamaica Broilers, which attracted an estimated crowd of 88,000 \u00a0praising, singing, horn-blowing, flag- waving, God-loving worshippers to National Heroes Park in Kingston, Jamaica.\u00a0 Here, NCGI\u2019s performance incorporated Next Genners. \u00a0Not only did NCGI perform their set as the lead-in for internationally renowned gospel artist Kirk Franklin, but NCGI was requested by none other than Jamaican legend Carlene Davis to sing a worship medley with her band. \u00a0There was a frenzied response of appreciation from Christians and non-Christians alike.\u00a0 Following this, the NCGI band began their set immediately after the preached word with a soul searching rendition of \u201cTomorrow\u201d made popular by the Winans.\u00a0 With the Next Genners on lead vocals, the team ushered the audience into a period of worship and surrender through songs like William McDowell\u2019s \u201cI Give Myself Away\u201d, and Tim Hughes\u2019s \u201cHere I Am To Worship\u201d. \u00a0NCGI then prompted the gathering into prayer in song with an NCGI original composition, \u201cIf My People\u201d, along with the Jamaican National Anthem, and prayed healing for the land of Jamaica. \u00a0The audience\u2019s response to the worship songs was incredible! \u00a0\u00a0One of the Group\u2019s co-founders stated, \u201cI was hearing all this echo and thought the sound engineers were using way too much reverb.\u00a0 I soon realized that it wasn\u2019t reverb I was hearing; it was the audience singing along with us!\u201d \u00a0God is truly amazing!<\/p>\n

Other ministers at the \u201cFun in the Son\u201d celebration included Papa San and Goddy Goddy.<\/p>\n

Subsequent to Fun in the Son, NCGI teams visited and ministered at various church fellowships. \u00a0These included Christian Life Fellowship, Hope Fellowship, Swallowfield Gospel Assembly, Covenant City Church and Majestic Gardens Covenant Community Church.<\/p>\n

On July 21, the Group was invited to perform at the Signature Woman Conference at Hope Fellowship Church. \u00a0Throughout the event,\u00a0hosted by Dr. Claudette Cooke, NCGI\u00a0added the powerful dimension of worship and body ministry to complement the anointed speakers in encouraging the women present to harness the power of sisterhood to make their lives count for the Lord.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0While NCGI invoked the Holy Spirit with song, members\u00a0 Janet Plummer and Nerissa Jackson were two of the speakers sharing their stories.\u00a0 It was a wonderful time of “sistering”.<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, on Sunday, July 22, NCGI hosted their Relaunch Concert with an intimate gathering of 300 close friends and family on the Olivier Road grounds of Covenant Christian Academy and Children\u2019s Center. \u00a0MCs for the program were Pastor Bruce Fletcher and Dr. Claudette Cooke.\u00a0 On this occasion NCGI shared what God was doing regarding the rebirth of the Group and officially introduced the Next Generation ministers, who, together with the foundation members, now comprise New Creation Generation International (NCGI).<\/p>\n

The program unfolded with foundation members of the Group ministering choruses, medleys and other cover songs including oldies like \u201cOld Man\u2019s Rubble\u201d, \u201cI Cried A Tear\u201d, \u201cTree Song\u201d, and a New Creation original and favourite, \u201cI Want My Joy Back\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0In a conversational interlude intermingled with singing, foundation members reminisced on times past while updating the guests on their current status.\u00a0 The parents then introduced the Next Genners who led the assembly in a contemporary worship segment, which included some of their original compositions. \u00a0Later\u00a0the combined NCGI ministered, closing with their latest release \u201cSing Again\u201d which is a prophetic declaration of the Group\u2019s restoration by God to sing, dream and build again. \u00a0At the close of the program, several \u00a0Church leaders present were invited to pray for NCGI, culminating with Bishop Peter Morgan offering the benediction. \u00a0The message from that time of prayer was that the reforming of the Group was confirmation of an even larger movement of God to reunite the diaspora for what we anticipate will culminate in a massive revival in Jamaica.\u00a0 A wonderful time in the Lord was experienced by all.\u00a0 No one wanted to leave.\u00a0 The guests lingered in the warm afterglow of the event to embrace and talk with members.\u00a0 The relaunch was a loving, intimate affair as the group reconnected with old friends, family and well-wishers in the presence of the Lord.<\/p>\n

God is indeed faithful and we continue to look for the unfolding of His plan. Special thanks to all who supported NCGI in this venture including, Dr. Claudette Cooke, Pastor Dennis Kerr and Sound Engineer, Bobby Stewart, among others. \u00a0We deeply appreciated the support, encouragement and labour of love from all persons who touched our lives in hospitality, transportation, rehearsals, ministry and prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
