The Fall Week of Prayer 2010 was truly a blessing to many as the curtains came down with 21 persons surrendering their lives to God. The event which was guided under the theme, “He is on His Way,” was held from September 24 to October 2, 2010 on the Northern Caribbean University (NCU) Mandeville Campus.  While it rained for most days outside the Gymnatorium, there were also showers of blessings on the inside. The nine days in the Gymnatorium were transformed by Pentecostal power into spiritual bliss.

Church Pastor and Speaker for the event, Pastor Michael Harvey was not short on delivering the end time message to the keen and captivated audience. He reminded students that they needed to have a spiritual connection with God, and that that connection was imperative since “education and redemption are one.”  “If we have God in our lives,” he continued, “the society we live in would be a better one.”

Week of Prayer was more than another calendar event, for the NCU family it was a spiritual refreshing. Kerry-Ann Bercher, a second year Mass Communications student posited, “it  was a very soul stirring and spirit filled experience. It was evident that it really touched and reached out to the students in a way that led them to the altar and ultimately to baptism.”

The Week of Prayer is held biannually and it serves to facilitate the birth of a relationship with Christ and to motivate believers to grow more in Christ. Therefore, the week of spiritual emphasis encourages a higher level of spirituality among students, faculty, staff, affiliates, and by extension the community.
