Jun 13, 2013 News

Under the theme “Reclaiming your inheritance” the men’s department of the First Assemblies of God Church (Wortmanville) will host the annual men’s conference called “Iman Talk”.
According to Pastor Raphael Jackman, the two-day conference which opens this week is mainly to “help men rediscover themselves” and also bringing men back to the order in which God ordained.
Jackman believed that when men are brought back into the order of God. “Families benefit, communities benefit and the nation as a whole benefits.”
The pastor who looks over the men’s fellowship of the church said that the team is expecting more than 1000 men to be present; mostly from the younger generation. “Once the men come out we will find space for them,” Jackman said.
“Men that are scared about what is happening in the church, we are saying to them this is not about getting you into a church environment. It is more like inviting men to come into the Kingdom of God. So if a man understands that he is a king, priest and a prophet, he will come to receive the instruction that comes from Jesus Christ.”
He added that there is an admission fee of $1000 which would go as a contribution to the men’s association. When asked about the upcoming Father’s Day celebration, Jackman said that it is the appropriate season. “This is the intent to prime men for them to understand their role /as fathers and everything else”.
In sending a message to men all over Guyana, Jackman said, “Know your God, know your purpose, fulfill your purpose and worship your God.”
President of the men’s ministry department, Wesley Adams, said that the sole purpose is to bring men back to the place where they are ordained to be.”
Adams believes that when men are brought back into their true purpose, women, children and the communities will “feel safe”.
