Kevin Smith, the brainchild of ‘A Betta Tomorrow’, was in high spirits as his hard work bore fruit at Mandela Park, St Andrew, which was transformed into a worship centre at the weekend.
Gospel artiste Goddy Goddy, now a minister of religion, paused his witty lyrics to minister to the people and bring souls to the Kingdom of God.
He closed by delivering some of his hit songs. Goddy Goddy, dubbed the ‘Ghetto Priest’, because of his work with unfortunates in downtown Kingston, said he turned a blind eye on touring and the luxury lifestyle to minister to a congregation and do God’s work.
He admitted the money was far less than when he was a gospel artiste, but its more fulfilling to him.
“‘A Betta Tomorrow’ started in Montego Bay, St James, in 2010, and it has been to places such as Junction, St Elizabeth; and the inner-cities of the Corporate Area,” said Smith.
“The main purpose of the initiative is to bring the church to the street. Sometimes people are busy at work and school, and don’t have the time to be in church, so we bring the church to them.”
“‘A Betta Tomorrow’ means that we have Jesus Christ in our lives and, if that is realised, then we will have better homes, better communities and a better country.”
He made reference to Matthew 6:33, to reiterate his stance.
Artistes such as Ryan Mark and wife, Chrissy D, Kareem, Omari, and others, gave notable performances.
