EDITOR, The Tribune.

THANK you kindly for allowing me to write a few words in your newspaper on behalf of one of our highly talented and inspiring radio and television talk show host for the twenty-first century era.

Mr Spence Michael Finlayson, better known as the “Bishop of Motivation,” and host of the programme “Immediate Response,” created his motto and theme is based on his powerful and unique testimony of his Christian walk and commitment to his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

“I’m Standing on the Promises of God,” taken from the Scripture text that is found in the Book of Hebrews 10:23. He is also the last child of his late parents, Mr Alpheus Sr, and the last child of Mrs Diana Finlayson.

One of Mr Finlayson’s favorite Scripture verses in the Bible that keeps him motivated to minister is found in the Book of Romans 4:17, and I quote, “As it is written, I have made thee a Father of many nations before Him whom He believed. Even God who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Not only does Mr Finlayson touch the lives of his own people here in The Bahamas, but also those throughout the Caribbean region and the United States.

Mr Finlayson has used his social media platform to invite a great number of Bahamian pastors, now living in the United States and other places around the world, to showcase their Evangelism Outreach Ministry via zoom, the ZNS television network, Facebook page and the National Voice of The Bahamas, “The People’s Station”.

Pastor Evangelist Shawn Pinder and Pastor Evangelist Bryan A Bassett, originally from Grand Bahama and the Turks and Caicos Islands, were the proud recipients of Mr Finlayson’s radio and television programme and Outreach Ministry with the year of our Lord 2022. However, we must also recognise and make mention of all other inspiring and encouraging talk show hosts, who are also doing an awesome job throughout The Bahamas.

And so, Mr Finlayson, it is my sincere prayer that God will continue to motivate and inspire you and your exciting and awesome Outreach Ministry as you travel throughout the Caribbean, the United States and indeed, the world.

May God’s blessings be upon you and your family, including your special assistant, Mrs Erma Duncanson.
