ORACABESSA, St Mary:
A passionate preacher whose St Mary church was razed to the ground has revealed plans to construct a new house of worship in the next three months on the same spot where the Boscobel Seventh-Day Adventist Church and its contents were destroyed four weeks ago.
Speaking from his home in Port Maria, pastor of the Oracabessa Seventh-Day Adventist District of Churches in St Mary, Roland Vassell, said although the fire had destroyed the church and many important documents, he was confident that its 70 members could look forward to a new building early in 2017.
He told Family and Religion last week: “The North East Jamaica Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists have plans to organise a building for this new church. We’re hoping that it can be erected by March, and we will use a tent until then. We have seen some pictures of what the new building will look like and are optimistic that a great result will be accomplished.”
