Prime Minister of St. Maarten Sarah Wescot-Williams and other government leaders welcomed Dr. Myles Munroe and his delegation to the Dutch speaking Caribbean nation of St. Maarten for a two-day national leadership training program.
The outstanding Bahamian leader was welcomed to the beautiful island nation by its Governor Eugene B. Holiday, President of Parliament Gracita R. Arrindell, and parliamentarians Jules James and George Pantophlet. Dr. Munroe was also invited to meet with Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams and Leader of the United People's Party Theo Heyliger.
Discussions surrounded the unique attributes of St. Maarten as a country, the vision for the country and how to address pertinent issues and move the country forward, while preserving the essence of the young country. Attributable to his extensive experience and insight in assisting countries across the globe to formulate a national vision and enhance their negotiating strategies, Dr. Munroe looks forward to returning to the island to continue discussions with the government and spiritual leaders of St. Maarten, so he can share his expertise and skills in this critical area.
"We are honored to have Dr. Munroe here in person, as many of us have read his books and watched him on television for many years," said Governor Eugene Holiday. "We hope this is the beginning of a long relationship with our island nation so that we can benefit from his vast leadership experience."
Prime Minister Sarah Wescot-Williams in welcoming Dr. Munroe to the Parliament chamber stated; "Dr. Munroe, you are welcomed to our island and I have heard of the success of the meeting held in our nation the past two days in which thousands were affected by your positive and empowering message. My government would like to express our thanks for you coming to our community. We need men like you to assist us at this very critical time in our national development and transition."
After meeting with the government, Dr. Munroe drew one of the largest crowds the Island had ever seen, as over 2000 citizens of St. Maarten flocked to the Christian Fellowship Kingdom Center in Cole Bay over the two-days for the "Reclaiming Your Nation" conference, which many on the island said was opportune and life altering. The multitude of residents from French and Dutch St. Maarten nestled into the Christian Fellowship Kingdom Center, eagerly gulping the inspiration that streamed from the featured speaker, world renowned motivational speaker, best-selling author and phenomenal spiritual leader Dr. Myles Munroe.
Also addressing the masses at every session was President of the International Third World Leaders Association Dr. Peter Morgan, who used the opportunity to motivate the locals to envision themselves as the next world leaders. He declared "the other countries have had their time...this is the time for the third world countries."
At 11 a.m. on both days, Dr. Munroe met with pastors and business persons in seminars to share key information concerning becoming dynamic leaders and successful business owners. From every level of society, men and women flocked to the sessions, hungry to hear from the successful Caribbean businessman and world leader. To the leaders he admonished that "an effective leader can transform frightened people into bold, fearless people" and "an army of sheep led by a lion will defeat an army of lions that are led by a sheep". To the business men and women he enlightened, "you were born to become a dominant supplier of a certain gift."
As the morning sessions of political discussion and seminars faded, the evenings exploded with an unleashing of spiritual insight that left the residents of the island stunned in some cases, but motivated, inspired and transformed in every case. Many who witnessed the unfolding of the two evenings said they witnessed an unprecedented move of God.
Pastor of the Christian Fellowship Church Dr. Emmanuel Carbon, said, "The response to Dr. Munroe's visit was more than we anticipated and the gathering of numbers of citizens from both the French and Dutch speaking side of the island nation was the largest we have ever seen. I know this is the work of God." He continued, "This is just the beginning of reclaiming our nation for Christ and we knew it would begin with Dr. Munroe."
Member of Parliament Jules James stated; "Dr. Munroe over a period of two nights shook the foundation of the Christian belief system in St. Maarten, dispelled some fallacies that had been embedded in the belief system and reconstructed from the Bible, the truth about man's purpose and his need to discover that purpose, live it and dominate the earth as is intended by God. Our nation will never be the same."
Dr. Myles Munroe and his team arrived in St. Maarten with a message of hope and insight about nationhood, from a physical and spiritual aspect, at a point when the young country struggles to shape its vision and construct an identity as a people and as citizens of heaven's kingdom. In a field of withering dreams and arid pastures of purpose, Dr. Munroe ignited a spark of motivation and clarity and left a blaze of hope and determination. Dr. Munroe was personally invited by the government to return to the nation of St Maarten to continue the process he began. He promised to be back to help build the fire that will redefine the national vision of St Maarten.
