A Bap­tist leader is urg­ing both cit­i­zens and the Gov­ern­ment to put God first, say­ing it is the key to restor­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go to the par­adise it once was.

Su­per­in­ten­dent of the In­de­pen­dent Bap­tist Mis­sion Church­es of T&T In­cor­po­rat­ed, Rev­erend Kelvin Jack­son, gave the ad­vice dur­ing their an­nu­al Eman­ci­pa­tion Day march and thanks­giv­ing ser­vice held in Princes Town yes­ter­day.

Jack­son was joined by scores of fel­low wor­ship­pers as they danced to songs of wor­ship and the rhythms of African drums from Matil­da Junc­tion along the Na­pari­ma Ma­yaro Road. En­cour­ag­ing wor­ship­pers to con­tin­ue putting God first, he said it was through God’s grace that they have gained recog­ni­tion and an iden­ti­ty in T&T and world­wide.
