Two Seventh-day Adventist Pastors in Anguilla were honoured at a special appreciation service as they continue their ministry.
The first was Pastor Trent Berg, a native of St Thomas, US Virgin Islands, who was installed as the Anguilla District Pastor by the North Caribbean Conference of Seventh-day Adventists on November, 2013. He is a 1991 graduate of Oakwood College in the United States where he obtained a BA in Ministerial Theology. He served as a High School Pastor and Bible Teacher in Tortola, and later as Chairman of the St Thomas/St John School Board. He became an Ordained Minister in 2002.
The second was Anguillan-born Pastor Kamul Smith of Island Harbour. In June this year he graduated from the University of the South Caribbean, in Trinidad, with a BA in Theology and has been attached to Anguilla as an intern since then. He is shortly to take up duties in St Maarten.
They were honoured on Pastors’ Appreciation Day – on Saturday, November 22, at Mount Fortune Seventh-day Adventist Church – organised by a committee of persons.
The event involved remarks by several committee members who spoke about the varied duties of pastors and the need for support and appreciation for them by the congregation. A number of individuals, speaking for themselves, also took the opportunity to tell about their own interaction, respect and appreciation for the ministers – and the direction and support they received.
Pastor Berg and his wife, and Pastor Smith and his fiancée, were surrounded on the platform and embraced by the congregation. They were the recipients of tokens of appreciation.
The pastors expressed appreciation and thanks for the honour accorded them.
