Gospel Minister Patricia Levy Bennece, who goes by the stage name Sista Patt, hails from Spanish Town, Jamaica and country man Delroy McDevermott, who uses the stage name Minister Kukudoo, spoke to this news site on Thursday March 2, 2017.

“It’s my first time here and I am anticipating a blessing from the lord,” Gospel Minister Patricia Levy Bennece said.

According to her, she has been proclaiming the good news of salvation all over her home country in a traditional form such as shaking the tambourine, playing drums and dancing and singing old songs till daylight. “God has been blessing me to use some of the old songs like Come by here my lord, and Master God art God. God has allowed me to turn them into a different style, a different fashion and talk to the people.”

Come one, come all

Sista Patt intends to spread the gospel and to tell the VI community that Jesus is coming soon and to get ready.

“I am calling everybody, to come out, forget about the label, forget about the status, forget about your educational background, because this will not save us. No matter your denomination, we want everybody to just come together, so we can just send up a high praise. And as the word of God declares it, when the praises go up, the blessings will come down.”

Sista Patt has been a solo artist since 2010 with the New Day Ministry but prior to that she was part of a Gospel group for many years.

A blessing will be waiting

David Delroy McDevermott revealed that he will be bringing hits like King David, Jerusalem, Who could it be, and My Bible.

“It is the Holy Ghost, anointed powerhouse gospel concert, so the people, just come out and expect a blessing, because definitely, a blessing will be awaiting. We are not going to hold back anything, we are just going to send the praise. This is a concert with a difference, I can promise you that. Forget about everything people, just come and receive a blessing, you are not going to leave the same way you came in, the chains are going to be broken,” he promised.

Minister Kukudoo has been professionally in the Gospel ministry for about 10 years now.

They arrived on Wednesday night, March 1, 2017 and will leave the island on Monday, March 6, 2017.
