Rose of Sharon Ministries has been a blessing to our island. We knew when God led us to pray to go into enemy territory it was a “Set-up! And God made a once barren land fruit for the Kingdom of God.
Kingston, Jamaica

This letter was published in "The Gleaner" on January 31, 2005 in Jamaica. Eight of us from the "Rose of Sharon Ministries" spent the week of Feb 1-8th in Kingston, Jamaica in a tent ministry bringing hope to the people and Shavanese was in attendance. Shavanese received much in the way of impartation as Sharon ministered to her. Her eyes which have seen much was given understanding concerning the call that is on her life. She was given anointing oil to touch and pray over different people and situations. Shavanese will cry loud and spare not.

The Editor, Sir:
The enclosed letter was written by one of my evening students who live in the community of Rema. I was touched by it and thought that the nation should see what pain the children of the inner cities are experiencing. D. Folke

Dear God,
I am so depressed and afraid because I am sick and tired of what is happening in Rema, the community where I live. I was 10 years old on my birthday just recently gone by but I didn't enjoy it because the gunmen took away the joy of Christmas and also the joy of my birthday. Can't a little girl live in peace and safety anymore?

Dear God, please open the gunmen eyes so that they may see that what they are doing is wrong so they may put down the guns. You know that I am young and I want to live my little life in peace.

Dear God, please don't let them take away our childhood from me and my other friends. God, please help them to know that children have feelings too.
God, I can't concentrate on my schoolwork. My evening class teacher says I am bright and that I can pass my GSAT next year and go to high school. But God, I can't seem to understand what my teacher is teaching because all I can see in my little mind is guns, dead bodies, blood and people crying, enough is enough!

God please help the bad men to put down the guns, and God please help the policemen to protect us in every way they can.
And the last thing I am asking you God is please to forgive them because they know not what they are doing.
Thank you.
