Gospel artist Mr J launches anti-crime campaign, “Too Much Man Dead”
By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net
BAHAMIAN dancehall/reggae gospel artist
Mr J is once again taking his music ministry into the community in an effort to denounce violence and promote a message of peace and love.
The artist, who has been very vocal over the years when it comes to his stance against violence, has launched the “Too Much Man Dead” anti-crime campaign.
It was officially launched last weekend in the Kennedy Subdivision of New Providence.
The focus of the campaign is to promote a message of love, selfcontrol, peaceful conflict resolution and non-violence towards others.
While Mr J and his team faced numerous logistical issues as well as challenges due to the weather, they were determined to launch the campaign, which they
deem to be vital to the community.
“The campaign was launched due to the overwhelming number of violent crimes and murders this country has been experiencing. Innocent victims caught in the crossfire is a stark reminder that it could be any one of us at any given time,” he said. With the influence he has as a gospel artist, he told Tribune Weekend, he could not just stand idly by and do nothing.
“There is a saying that says evil prevails when good men do nothing. In order for any societal ailment be healed, we as a society and a community of people must be willing and ready to be counted among those who desire a change,” he said.
“This campaign is to highlight more awareness and concern that we must have. It is a challenge and a call to action to society to say something and do something legally and useful in all wisdom to help
reduce crime. This is very necessary and important. Crime is constantly getting out of control.”
The Simple Life Church, an online ministry based in Canada, partnered with Mr J for the initiative, alongside Christlike Productions, a local gospel music label.
Members from various church ministries were also a part of the programme and took part in the walkabouts that were carried out in the community prior to the campaign launch last Saturday.
“The turnout was mostly children and a handful of
THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT – BAHAMIANS SHARE HOW TECHNOLOGY HELPS THEM DEEPEN THEIR FAITH
By ALESHA CADET Tribune Features Writer acadet@tribunemedia.net
FOR a lot of Bahamians, it has become a habit to reach for their cellphone as soon as they wake up in the morning; be it to check for messages, news or social media activity.
And this checking continues throughout the day; it’s almost done unconsciously.
Cell phones have become such an integral part of our lives that the religious community has also learned to take advantage of the technology to spread the word of God.
Speaking to Tribune Religion, several Christian readers said that since you’re on your phone anyway, why not take advantage of Bible and devotional apps to help you build your faith in God.
There are numerous apps available that offer daily
IS DRESSING MODESTLY IMPORTANT TO THE YOUNG CHRISTIAN WOMAN?
By CARA HUNT Tribune Features Writer cbrennen@tribunemedia.net
MANY young Christian woman struggle with how they should dress and just how modest their wardrobe should be.
It is a never-ending and heated debate, with some saying that as Christians, young women need to ensure that their bodies (aka the temple of the Lord) are always covered, while less conservative types feel that God looks at the heart and not the wardrobe.
American actress and Natasha Bure, who is also the daughter of former “Full House” star Candace Cameron Bure (“DJ Tanner”), recently posted about her own struggle with dressing modestly when she was asked about her take on the subject by one of her followers.
She explained that her views have changed in the past year and that she is now making a conscious effort to show less skin than before.
“A year or two ago, I dressed completely different
and showed way more of my body than I ever needed to.
I’ll look back at old photos and think *shocked emojis*. “A lot of that came from when I was finding my worth and thinking that showing more skin was more attractive. I actually think the opposite now,” she wrote. “I think dressing classy and upholding modesty is so beautiful. I'll actually feel myself 100 times more and I am so much more confident in outfits that show less skin. I still want to dress stylishly and keep up with the trends, but I don’t ever want to compromise my values. I want my words and how I present myself to match.”
It is a sentiment many other young Christian women agree with.
Tribune Religion reader Simone said: “I agree with her. As a Christian, every single thing you do is your testimony. It is right there in the Bible, Timothy 2:9-10:
‘I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for
women who profess to worship God.’
“To me, that means that you have to be careful about what you present to the world.”
Vicky added, “To me, it just makes sense to respect myself and my values. I am not doing it for anyone else or because my pastor told us dress a certain way; I am doing it because I feel that it is what God wants me to do. I feel it is a way to show my respect to God that I dress and act ladylike and carry myself like I am the daughter of the King of Kings.”
Nikki said it's important for her to carry herself in a “conservative” way.
“You know as a Christian, I don’t want anyone to doubt my faith or my love for God. I don’t want people to see me and say, ‘Well, she claim she is a Christian, but she don’t dress like she is.’ But I do want them to see that hey you can be conservative, not show all your body parts, but still look attractive,” she said.
devotionals and scriptures, while others provide commentaries and even inactive adventures for children.
Christina Brown said she uses a daily prayer app to help her go deeper into a life of prayer and time spent with God.
“Honestly, I have always been a prayerful person, but I am not afraid to say that I needed to get better at it. Time spent with God is well spent and this is one thing I enjoy. I have a time set on the app to alert me every morning at 7am during the time I am up getting ready for work,” she said.
“I love the convenience of it. I mean, if a phone is one of the things, we, especially young persons, touch every single day – sometimes it's the first thing we touch – why not start your day off with a prayer reminder. If prayer time during the evening or night is best for you, then you can
adults. We were very happy to see the children, because they are the future of the Bahamas and the most impressionable and vulnerable ones of our society,” said Mr J. At the end of the launch event, he said, he believes
set it before you go to bed. I love it.”
According to the website Global Christian Relief, some of the best prayer apps out there are specifically designed to strengthen and enhance your walk with Christ. So, if you’re weary of scrolling on social media and have a desire to keep God first, consider downloading a prayer app. The website pointed out popular apps like Prayer Notebook, Echo Prayer, PrayerMate, Hallow Prayer, and its own, the Global Christian Relief Prayer app.
Reader Laura Adderley said the app she uses is called My Daily Prayer. She spoke about the message she received yesterday morning via the app.
“I roll over and read. This morning the message said: ‘Lord God, thank you for the blessings that come to us each day. Grant me strength to avoid things that are harmful to me which I am not able to fight off. Calm my worries so that I may live in peace and thanksgiving. In Jesus name, amen.’ It doesn’t get any better than that to kick-start a

the message of stopping the violence was received.
“Persons were sitting and listening, giving attention to each person who made their presentation. I was approached by a senior committee member of the Kennedy Association which expressed heartfelt gratitude for the work we were doing,” he said.
Mr J said the ultimate goal for the campaign is to cover as many communities as possible, by not only providing them with the anti-crime message, but also by hosting giveaways, as resources permit.
“We are cognisant of both the spiritual and physical needs,” he said.

day. And every morning the message is different. I have a kids version downloaded on my son’s tablet as well,” she said.
There are Christian apps tailored to any need or requirement you may have.
For women, specifically, who want to deepen their faith, there are apps like I Believe, She Reads Truth, Girlfriends in God, Daughters of the King and Beloved Woman, to name a few.
For those looking to memorise scripture, there are apps like Bible Memory, Remember Me and Verses for Life.
Among the best free prayer apps there are Pray!, Prayer Prompter, Instapray and Ora.
For serious Bible study, there are apps like Olive Tree’s Bible, which allows you to switch in between different translation; the Bible App by YouVersion, which allows public and private notes, and the Logos Bible Software, which offers help with sermon building, theology guides, and assists with ancient literature.
FREED US NURSE SAYS CHRISTIAN SONG WAS HER RALLYING CRY AFTER SHE WAS KIDNAPPED IN HAITI
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI Associated Press
A US nurse who was released by kidnappers in Haiti last week says a Christian song called “See a Victory” became her battle cry after she and her young daughter were abducted. Alix Dorsainvil and her child were freed last Wednesday, nearly two weeks after they were snatched at gunpoint from the campus of a Christian-run school near Port-au-Prince.
El Roi Haiti, the Christian aid organisation founded by Dorsainvil’s husband, said Thursday the pair were not harmed and are healthy. On Saturday, the group posted a message from Dorsainvil on its website.
“I am completely humbled by the outpouring of support and prayer for myself and my sweet baby both during and following our time in captivity,” said Dorsainvil, who is from New Hampshire.
