Sabbath, March 16, 2024, marked Global Youth Day for Seventh-day Adventists worldwide. This is meant to be a day to engage young people in volunteer work and spread the good news of the gospel throughout our neighborhoods through various outreach and community projects. [1] However, the West Jamaica Conference of Seventh-day Adventists decided to throw a type of Christian dancing block party in the public streets of Montego Bay, Jamaica, complete with loud music, so that onlookers could see and hear it. The dancing and blaring music continued throughout the day and into the night.

Many of our churches have adopted this as their new evangelism strategy, copying the entertainment industry in the process. This generation is overstimulated with amusements and distractions. This has resulted in a failure to connect the minds of people to the life-saving messages of our time. Instead of instructing people in the ways of truth and righteousness, this generation is more interested in seeking how to deliver a worship experience that is both entertaining and amusing.
But we praise the Lord that in other places, Global Youth Day was commemorated with free medical clinics, free Bibles, and the mass distribution of The Great Controversy books. [2] [3] This is what God is calling us to do. It is our prayer that our Heavenly Father will use our young people to share His glorious message, and that in doing so, He will grant us and them the ability to experience His transforming power for the salvation of souls. This is what God longs to give to his people.
“Christ is the great Center, the Source of all strength. His disciples are to receive their supplies from Him. The most intelligent, the most spiritually minded, can bestow only as they receive. Of themselves they can supply nothing for the needs of the soul. We can impart only as we receive, and we can receive only as we impart. As we continue to impart, we shall continue to receive; and the more we impart, the more we shall receive” (Signs of the Times, January 22, 1902).

It’s obvious that you people don’t understand JAMAICAN GOSPEL CHORUSES.
Not everything lively is of the devil!
It’s time you understand that evangelism is made to reach the people. Not that we’re gonna tap into the things that are wrong however, the way we evangelized at the start, years ago cannot be the way we do it now.
Nothing was wrong with the lovely PRAISE that was shown here. Understand God for yourselves and countries culture and the meaning behind it for yourself before you run off speaking nonsense!
Stay blessed😘
These is a result of rejecting One True God and His only begotten son and turn to worship pagan gods known as TRINITY
