FREEPORT, Grand Bahama, July 24, 2020 — Today, Grand Bahama, the place I love and call my home, begins a two-week lockdown. BE ENCOURAGED, you are STRONG and resilient. This may be a frightening, uncertain time for many but remain steadfast. God is still in control and He will bring us through this pandemic. Remember, we are in this together, show kindness, being our brother’s keeper and remembering someone else in need. PRAY ALWAYS!

Be sure to wear masks, social distance and adhere to the advice of the Health officials. We recognize and thank the many frontline and essentials workers who will continue to work during this period. We have faced many challenges and still continue to face challenges, but we will emerge better than ever. Stay home and stay safe Grand Bahama.

“WE ARE TROUBLED ON EVERY SIDE, YET NOT DISTRESSED; WE ARE PERPLEXED, BUT NOT IN DESPAIR; PERSECUTED, BUT NOT FORSAKEN; CAST DOWN, BUT NOT DESTROYED”  2 Corinthians 4:8-9
