Dare 2 Be Different International Turns 4 Years

Officially Launched in June 2008, Dare 2 Be Different International, a gospel youth based non-profit organization has been doing wonders for Jesus over it's short FOUR (4) YEARS of existence. The group currently has a Main Team of 5 people and dozens of other on-the-call assistants.

President Khrystus Wallace, Lemercius Wallace, Kerese Dias, Joy Codrington and Yvette Wallace enjoy pooling together their various talents to bring many of the ministry's visions to life.

According to President Wallace, the ministry is proud of what it has accomplished over it's four years of existence on a very small, tight budget with no major support from any organization. He said the gifts and contributions from the ordinary people who are blessed by the work they are doing keep us going.

Wallace commented, "With or without resources, we will keep on going. As children of God, the only MAIN thing we are called to do, is to GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND  PREACH  THE  GOSPEL and make our impact. We have been doing just that with God's help over our four years of existence and we are truly grateful to God for his help."

A team member noted that Dare 2 Be Different continues to live up to it's mandate to reach the entire world, especially by using technology. The team member wasn't hesitant in stating that from reports from the ministry's website monitors, they seemed to have reached nearly every corner of the globe already through many of it's websites.

An exciting Kerese Dias stated that the ministry's online devotional written by their president, brings most of the world's visitors to the ministry's online doors. "You should see the reports of the countries that are reading daily and how they are using their blackberries and iPhones and ipads etc to access this website. From the moment they get their and are blessed, they click to check out other things our ministry is doing and some of them contact to encourage us. The contacts from around the world really, really excite us as a team."

Hopeisahead.com is translated into over fifty (50) different languages and is advertised and emailed all across the globe. Technology plays a key role in getting messages out to encourage change, empower and motivate. The ministry therefore operates through http://www.d2bdifferent.com/ , http://www.daretobedifferentkenya.com/, http://www.loveshouldlast.com/, http://www.mmskn.org/, http://www.d2bdradio.com/, http://www.theglobalspotlight.com/  and it's online magazine http://www.daringdifferently.com/

Many of the ministry's videos and clips from The President's sermons can be accessed online.

Since the ministry's existence, it has also lived up to its ON-THE-GROUND mandate to keep positive youth activities all year round and appreciate those making an impact in the community. Over it's 4 years, the ministry has hosted Dare 2 Be Different back to school rallies, Gospel Youth Weekly Fun Events, Public Service Appreciations, Easter, Summer and Christmas camps locally and abroad, Hospital ministry, Hope Empowerment Counselling Sessions to name a few.

Dare 2 Be Different officially opened a branch in Kenya in January 2012 and adopted a school and orphanage there. The ministry hopes to officially establish Dare 2 Be Different International USA during it's 4th Anniversary month as a means of saying thanks to it's USA patrons who fall at the TOP of the list as supporters and website visitors.

Dare 2 Be Different International has high hopes of seeing it's biggest vision come to pass - The Construction of The Dare 2 Be Different Mission Centre. ((Read about this idea at: http://hopeisahead.blogspot.com/2012/05/st-kitts-nevis-may-probably-be-home-to.html)

In closing, Wallace looked up to the sky as if he were saying thanks to God and said. "You know, when we decided to go public with our first Tent Crusade from August 4th - 8th 2008, we were ridiculed by religious leaders, just like Jesus, who called around and encouraged different churches not to support the God-Given vision of a 22 year old preacher. It seemed they thought I was too young to be used of God."

Wallace continued, "The crusade went well! (See each night at: http://www.d2bdifferent.com/FreedomFest2008.htm ). We used innovation and set the trend in St. Kitts-Nevis. We carried the week long services live via Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN's Radio Paradise in Nevis, West Indies) and streamed it live on our website.

We installed a prayer line underneath the tent and received calls from listeners and viewers all across the world. It was our first event and it went great despite the HARSH WORDS and BAD WISHES spread by other ministers of the gospel that should have really come together to support us, a young team with a Fresh Vision for the youth, a Fresh Vision From God."

"We did rise above the enemy's attack through CHURCH  PEOPLE and CHURCH MINISTERS and I can proudly say that what we have accomplished in 4 years, with regards to making an impact and spreading the message of salvation across the globe, churches 5 years, 10 years 20 years and 50 years in St. Kitts - Nevis haven't done that."

Wallace left a powerful final comment. He says this is one of his favourites. "The key to success is to never give up. Even when the rope you're holding on to seems to be bursting and you're losing grip, hold on still. Even when you are knocked down and bleeding, refuse to stop breathing. It's that type of attitude will get you to accomplish your goals."


Global supporters interested in partnering to keep this great ministry going can send Dare 2 Be Different 4th Anniversary gifts of food, toys, youth materials etc to

Covered by The Blood?

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19  KJV)

Once you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of your life, you are covered by HIS blood. Note well! Because you are covered by the blood of JESUS, NOTHING shall by any means hurt you.

If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, you're living a risky dangerous life. Why? You probably ask me. This is simply because according to 1 Peter 5:8, our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

He and his imps are always in ACTION and so in order to survive his attacks, we MUST be covered by the blood.

I can go on an tell you about dozens of personal or family attacks by the enemy just to show to you that he leaves no one out. What I can also go ond and tell you too, is that we were triumphant over many of his attacks because

1. We were covered by the blood of Jesus
2. We used our POWER given to us in Luke 10:19

I always hear my mother recount of some strange happenings while she was pregnant with her last child, my youngest brother. During her last few days at work teaching, before being relieved on maternity leave, every morning before she stepped into her class, there was a white powder in front her classroom door. After noticing that for some time, she drew it to the attention of another teacher friend, who agreed that that was very strange and told her to be very careful.

My mother is a woman of God and placed the matter in His hands. To make a long story short, when she was admitted to the Joseph N. France hospital in St. Kitts, she began to experience complications. My brother was due and she wouldn't go into labour. They added drips to bring on the pain and still nothing. The doctor was called in and he decided to deliver the baby, my younger brother Lemercius Wallace through surgery. According to nurses comments and the doctor's word, he had never seen anything like that in all his medical career. They would have seen restrains, but none like that at all. My brother was properly restrained by the umbilical cords inside. That meant that if the doctors or nurses had proceeded to try and get my mother to push to deliver, both of them would have died.

I must add here, that a nurse told my mother that it had a particular lady, I will withhold the name, that kept calling and calling and calling the hospital to find out if she had gotten through. Mind you - this was no relative of ours.

My mom took the word of a top nurse to heart. That nurse said, "Mrs. Wallace, take care of this little boy, he was given to you for a reason. We have never seen anything like this."

Friend, I can go on with other attacks on us as a family, but I won't because some will scare you right out of your bones. One thing we know though is that we are covered by the blood of Jesus and and nothing shall by any means hurt us. (Luke 10:19  KJV)

I have a tendency to send every negative thing or every negative word that is spoken over my family and those close to me, BACK  TO  THE  OWNER. You should too!

What does that mean? I stay praying for my friends and enemies. We do have ACCESS  TO POWER. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19  KJV)

So, what ever my enemies wish over me, I ask the Lord to work their bad wishes back on them FOURFOLD and cause them not to sleep or be at peace until they repent. Once we BELIEVE  that God is well able to do that which we ask, our words will come to pass.

That is why I am very careful not to speak badly about people or try to rip their name apart. It's very dangerous. Now if I am speaking the TRUTH about my experience and call their names and tell the world about the HURT that they caused me and their name gets tarnished in the process, that's a whole other story. So very careful with your encounters with my family and I. I am a journalist and I love to share ALL my stories globally.

I won't tell you of all my experiences of God's word coming to pass in this regard, but I'll tell you of this one. I was at a particular place sometime back when a mature lady rushed to me in the heart of Basseterre, St. Kitts almost in tears. This is what she said, "Mr. Wallace I am sorry, please forgive me, I can't get to sleep." I smiled and responded, friend, what ever it is, you're forgiven. The lady passes me no where at all anymore.

I am never fearful because I am covered by the blood. One day, if we ever meet, I'll tell you of numerous other testimonies of how God delivered simply because we resisted the devil. James 4:7

Don't fight back with your enemies who are usually the devil's imps. Just say, "Lord, I rest all my enemies into your hands. Take care of them." He will. He will either kill them and take them out of your way, like he did to King Saul so David could become King. He would confuse them like he confused those who were building the Tower of Babel. Sometimes God would even make them sick or stay in pain like he did to Pharoah's people because he wouldn't let them go from bondage.  God has his ways of fighting for HIS  PEOPLE. When you see the end result of your enemies, just thank God for clearing your path so you can continue trodding on to SUCCEESS.

Stop Worrying! Hope is Ahead! It is definitely ahead for those covered by the Blood of Jesus.

Dust Off And Get Back Up

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Daniel 6:10  KJV)

Always refuse to stay down!

I am a bit angry as I start typing the first paragraph of this Hope Devotional. Why? - You probably ask. It is simply because I fully and explicitly disapprove of people who make others feel like what they have done in life is beyond forgiveness, beyond compassion, beyond hope.

If you know me well, I am an advocate for HOPE  FOR  ALL and this is one of the themes that I ensure our ministry, Dare 2 Be Different International - www.daretobedifferentksn.com and other ministries that we guide follow as a theme.

If Jesus died for us all wretched sinners, who are we to condemn others and write them off?

If I share with you stories of many of my clients who have been written off by business owners, school teachers, supervisors, parents, guardians and I am so ashamed to say, pastors and other high ranking church ministers, you'd be totally shocked. That's one of the reasons I don't like to be called a pastor or church minister or Apostle or Bishop or Evangelist - just call me Brother Khrystus. If people are going to classify me with other ministers who WRITE  OFF  PEOPLE, strip me of the title.

Sometimes I wonder why God impresses upon my heart to share such troubling issues with my international readership because it only gets me into trouble with other fellow and worldwide ministers when I share on such happenings or when I speak out about how we as ministers and christians tend to write off people so easily.

It is of a truth - aint it?

Guess what happens when I do that? When I talk out about ministers of the gospel and how they quickly write off members and church goers, I am no longer invited to preach at the church or speak to the youths.

When I talk about children's rights and giving each child a fair chance at high school exams, I am ridiculed. I can go on and on. I shouldn't expect anything better because advocates for proper living such as Jesus and advocates for better life for blacks such as Martin Luther King Jr. were always ridiculed, chastised and victimized and sadly killed. Jesus was crucified for spreading the message of HOPE and Martin Luther was shot dead for being a human rights activist.

I am happy that whether or not I get to speak at a minister's pulpit at his or her church, or address youth at a youth meeting, or children at an assembly or teachers at a professional development day, God blessed me with wisdom to use the technology and get the word out using modern communication media.

Friend, even when you are kicked down and walked upon, find the inner strength within you to defy the odds and rise again. There is ALWAYS HOPE for you! The people in Daniel's day HATED him because he was doing a good job and planned to get him down. I like what Daniel did when a law against him was passed. He refused to go into hiding. He refused to stay down and not be noticed. The Bible says in Daniel 6:10 - Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

To paraphrase the writing a bit, the scripture says, Daniel didn't fear. Daniel didn't stay down. He prayed to his God just as usual because he knew that very soon, things would change and he'll be able to dust off his knees and get back up again and live VICTORIOUSLY!

Always notice this. People can slow you down, but never let them stop you. Don't let them keep you down - Hope is Ahead!

The word of God only speaks about TWO sins that won’t be forgiven. Firstly, the sin of unforgiveness in Mark 11:25. This is where someone would have wronged us or sinned against us and we refuse to forgive them. Secondly, the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

Notice what Mathew 12:31 says, Wherefore I say unto you, ALL - A - L -L manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
That means ALL  SINS – a mass murderer, a child molester, an adulterer and the list goes on. ALL  SINS! Don’t let them write you off. . . .Keep Matthew 12:31 close to your heart at all times. You are not worst than anyone else whose secret sins have not been exposed like yours AS YET.

Don't let ANYONE keep you down. Dust off and get back up!


And. . . If you - READER, are guilty of trying to keep others down and walk on them to ensure they stay down, I rebuke you SEVENTY times over.  While you condemn, please look in the mirror and see if you are really all perfect and unblemished.

May God's hand of grace and mercy rest upon you and may you never be at peace until you consider your ways and encourage, restore, help and promote instead of pull down. . . In Jesus Name.

It's Truly a Task Being A Role Model - Encourage and Empower - Please Don't Let Another Die

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. (Numbers 21:4 KJV)

It is truly a task being a role model.

The happenings of this week with regards to a key role model in the Federation of St. Kitts - Nevis, Masud Sadiki, who alledgedly took his own life has caused me to slow down, sit and reflect on my life too and my moving forward.

Now I'll tell you the honest truth. Being a popular, positive, optimistic figure is one of the hardest jobs on earth. Sometimes I wish I was just an ordinary gentleman and wasn't someone to be looked up to. It's Tough! To make matters worse, I write to encourage people through my ministry website, http://www.hopeisahead.com/  almost daily and I have a worldwide readership. I have clips from my NEVER  GIVE  UP  theme sermons on youtube. I know I have an audience worldwide. How can I prove that? Tourists who pass through St. Kitts from different parts of the world call me or pass by just to see me and to see if what we're doing is for real. A tourist visit from Russia amazed me the other day and the gentleman said, "Mr. Wallace that Hope is Ahead Drama Video on Youtube is Awesome and Powerful. Your team is doing an amazing job." We get similar commendations from all across the world too.

Because of my positive spirit, many people cling to me and the ministry quite easily for encouragement. Therefore, I get calls and BlackBerry messages and emails and texts almost daily from all across the world to pray for and ecnourage people. Sometimes I have to do that even when I'm at my lowest. Imagine if you will, trying to cope with and be innovative in a challenging global economy as a business owner. I also have to cope with it for dozens of other youth and adults who just can't see their way because they can't find a job and pay their bills and mortgage and are ready to give up.

Then, just when I leave from encouraging one person, someone is diagnosed with a sickness and they need comfort too. I tell you, it's truly a task running a business and doing ministry and having to stay POSITIVE in the process.

Honestly, around this time, majority of my HOPE  SESSIONS have to deal with getting many people to change their mindset from suicide. I have dozens of them across the world that I have to keep track of. I pay them special personal attention. These are the people who work next to you and who sing in church with you and who live in your communities. Then, when I get them, by God's grace to change their minds, I have to followup to ensure that they have fully discarded the thought. There are dozens who I know are reading this today - May God Bless You and may you continue to hold on and realize that there is HOPE  AHEAD!

The truth is, society expects Positive Role Models to be IRONMEN and IRONWOMEN and have no troubles and issues of their own. Society forgets that we are just common people like anyone else.

I empower and encourage for hours each week, but need empowerment and encouragement and support too. People rarely ask us "How are you?" and wait to see our honest response. Whether we are down and out or up and happy.

Society just expects everything to be always well all the time with Popular Figures and Role Models. The honest truth is, we sometimes wish we can get away for a while or for good. The pressure of the eyes - the onlookers is challenging. Everyone's expectations are always so high that it is sometimes even stressing to relax and have fun. People watch your every move. Listen to your every statement. Comment on your every action. When you do good, very little is said, but when you slip up, everyone knows that you are the minister or musician or (and the list goes on)

Let me be frank. It's not everyweek that I write on http://www.hopeisahead.com/ or go on my Radio Program or step into a Hope Empowerment Session with a client that I am all excited and optimistic. I never show it though because my job is to stay strong for you.

My job is to empower the radio listener and keep him/her encouraged in the Lord. I can't tell a client how down I am when they are down too. I cannot ever let the overseas client that calls in for prayer hear my down spirit. This is a reality. If I'm not smiling, a passerby just passes and says - SMILE MAN and never checks to see why I'm not smiling.

Role Models and Positive Persons hurt too and need encouragement too - we have our down times too. We have problems on the job and with our family. It pains when our ideas and dreams and goals are not coming through as fast as we like or seem like they won't come through at all. We do have issues. We do get discouraged. We need a better response from YOU if you appreciate the work that we do.

It happened in Bible times too. And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. (Numbers 21:4 KJV)  People got discouraged too back then! Moses' People were discouraged greatly because of the journey. Job too. David at times. Paul begged God to remove the thorn in his flesh. He was a stalwart for Christ but he was hurting too.

Role Models make a significant contribution to the lives of youth and people in general, but it is my honest opinion that we DO  NOT  TAKE  care of them while they are alive and leave all the good we have to say when they die.

Let's not let another wounded soldier die - another ambassador leave us, by not caring at all. Just as they empower, you empower and encourage in return too. Just as they help you and inspire you. You must do the same too. We NEED each other.

Among a handfull of people that encourage my team and I for the work we are doing, there are always those that stand out. I didn't ask Ms. Lydia Phillip of The Divinity Touch Gift Shop, Charlestown, Nevis (West Indies), a http://www.shopandshipskn.com/ client of mine if I could use her name because I got the inspiration to write this devotional in the wee hours or this morning while she's probably asleep. I know she certainly won't mind.

This week, having not received any devotionals via her email or gotten any texts and calls from me, she took it upon herself to send me an email to check up and a text too. When I called her, I started telling her about a package that was coming in for her. She quickly stopped me and said, "I wasn't calling for that. I was just calling to check up on you since I didn't hear from you for the week or didn't get any Hope Devotionals in my email box."

Friend, that made my day! That made my week too! God knew I was going through a very trying, stressful business day and week and all I needed was ONE EMPOWERMENT message from a concerned person to show that they were thinking about me and caring. Her called energized me for the rest of the week.

It was this week too, a restaurant owner invited me for lunch and said, you're a good man, and when ever you want to relax and eat for free, just come. Come everyday if you want, the owner said - Come and relax and break. For all you're doing, you need it!

It would be remiss of me to not say that my Dare 2 Be Different Team doesn't give me alot of encouragement, motivation and help. They actually keep me going. I must single out Kerese Dias and Joy Codrington. They are the extra fuel in my engine. They go the extra mile to keep me uplifted and to keep my visions coming to fruition.

Those simple things mean a whole lot to Role Models and Positive People. It's sad that many of them do not get the type of support they need though. Don't let another wounded soldier die. Encourage the Positive Ones. Don't just pray for your pastors and leaders and role models, but do something good to show you appreciate them all the time too. They need you in order to SURVIVE. It takes alot from WITHIN to pour out our all to you. You need to help us top back up too.

Send a text, a card, give a visit, bake a cake, send an email, carry them out for breakfast or lunch or dinner. Buy a gift. Or sometimes they just need more than a "How are you doing and a smile?" Sometimes we just want to talk and talk and talk and wait for someone to listen. That helps us detress ALOT. I hope you understand from now, that you have a task too.

It's truly a task being a Role Model. I think I'm going to slow down now. Do more ministry and do lighter things like running my new Caribbean Auction Site - http://www.caribbesales.com/ and use my printing machines more for Ministry Activities. This would help me to not have to stress and cope with deadlines and cursewords. I'll deal with customers that uplift me in the process and simply reject pressuring business. That will help me live a day longer.

When I am overworked and overstressed and then die, this role model that many people enjoyed listening to on radio or enjoyed reading his Hope Devotionals, will be remembered with a few tributes for a little while then it'll be back to normal society again - RIGHT?

Encourage, Empower, Motivate those that serve and make an impact around the world in theicr small and big ways. They help to ensure by their lives, their words and their positive spirits that Hope is Ahead! We need them! Take care of them!

4 Youth Kingdom Ambassadors from The Tiny Caribbean Island of St. Kitts Commit to Impact The World For Christ

Out of the tiny 68 square mile island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, comes four Small-David-Like youths with a Big-Goliath-Like goal to Impact The World For Christ.

Twenty five (25) year old Khrystus Wallace, twenty two (22) year old Lemercius Wallace, twenty two (22) year old Joy Codrington and twenty four (24) year old Kerese Dias have rallied together their different God-Given skills under Dare 2 Be Different International www.daretobedifferentskn.com to reach out primarily to other youth across the world along with seasoned adults.

The ministry was founded in June 2008 and celebrates it’s fourth (4^th) Anniversary in June 2012. The team has felt the call to begin to market it’s ministry to the world, as from it’s 4^th Anniversary Month and believes the marketing will open up opportunities for them to travel together at times to make a global impact.

Blessed with different skills, the Quattro is always ready to answer any ministry call as it has been doing for years across St. Kitts - Nevis. President Khrystus Wallace, is a powerpul, enthusiastic, bold, versed minister of the gospel who is blessed with the skill of capturing and keeping the attention span of children, youth and adults. He is a born motivational speaker and has been the featured speaker at graduations and other motivational events. He is also a gifted writer and writes almost daily on the ministry’s Hope is Ahead Devotional at www.hopeisahead.com which has an international readership. Wallace has published 2 books titled God’s Prescription for Positive Living I and II so far, and hopes to publish III, IV, V, VI and VII by September 2012. The ordained minister designs and maintains all of the ministry’s websites. Wallace released a Dramatic Video Sermonette to the world as a New Year's Gift in 2012 titled Don't Give Up - Hope's Ahead. See it below

Lemercius Wallace is a gifted Worship and Music Minister. He plays the keyboard and guitar. His ministry of singing and playing has caused him to be a well sort after youth since he was 15 years old, to play for crusades and other church events, weddings, hotel entertainment and the like. He operates everything to do with Music and Sound with regards to Dare 2 Be Different. God has blessed him with his own mini-studio called R.E.P – Righteous Entertainment Productions (http://www.djmerci.com/) . Lemercius’ studio recorded his brother Khrystus’ debut album titled – Don’t Give Up – Hope’s Ahead. Lemercius serves as back-up technology support to his brother.

Joy Codrington, who joined the ministry soon after it’s inception, is a gifted poet and natural dramatist. She writes poems and dramas to fit into event themes and also for special occasions. She heads up the Dare 2 Be Different Drama Club which will be doing much more productions as time progresses and is always willing to dramatize while the President preaches. Joy “Lady Smilez” Codrington Co-Hosts The Dare 2 Be Different’s Youth Rap Programme on Dominion Radio 91.5FM in St. Kitts every Saturday at 11am EST (www.dominionradioskn.com) with President Khrystus Wallace.

Last but not least, is Kerese Dias. As part founder of the ministry, Dias is a talented dancer. She choreographs dances for Dare 2 Be Different Concerts and events and loves to minister through dance especially at Street Meetings where she believes we impact the most. She loves working with children with regards to teaching dance. Kerese is currently doing the final ground work before launching The Dare 2 Be Different Dance Theatre. She is Finance Director for the ministry.

Lemerce, Joy and Kerese have started their own small businesses having been empowered by a Ministry program called Mission Mobilization - http://www.mmskn.org/, directed by the President. The program seeks to empower youth to use their skills to make life during trying economic times. Lemerce owners http://www.djmerci.com/, Joy owns http://www.tagdownskn.com/ and Kerese owns http://www.kayscorp.com/

Since Dare 2 Be Different’s Inception, it has lived up to one of it’s mandates to reach the world using the technology at hand. Two years ago in 2010, the ministry agreed that the timing was right to carry out a vision of it’s president to establish The Caribbean’s 1^st Fully Dedicated Internet Church called The Victory Centre – www.thevictorycentre. The mission of the church was not to have a large live gathering, but rather have a virtual gathering from across the world by advertising with smartphones, social networks and the technology. It has been successful with doing just that and has been reaching the lost and empowering the saved. So far has been it’s reach, that after a request from a minister in Kenya, it was able to establish Dare 2 Be Different Kenya – www.daretobedifferentkenya.com. (The ministry is raising funds, food, clothes and other support to aid in its plan to visit Kenya in 2012 and welcomes any support interested parties may want to provide.)

This article is just a snapshot of what the ministry has been doing over it’s short 4 years in operation.  To write about everything would probably mean the start of writing a book. The everyday use of technology has allowed Dare 2 Be Different to reach a larger spectrum of people that any individual local church in the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis.

The team’s ultimate aim is to raise funds and pray for partners to build The Dare 2 Be Different International Mission Centre – (more information at: (http://hopeisahead.blogspot.com/2012/05/st-kitts-nevis-may-probably-be-home-to.html  )

The team members, individual or collective, are currently accepting invitations from churches and youth organizations across the world to minister at evangelistic and youth crusades or church empowerment revivals or rallies.

The ministry prefers to minister during the evening at crusade events and spend the day time in the invitee country at schools, hospitals, orphanages and also train pastors, ministry leaders and other interested parties as to how to use the technology to reach the world. (Dare to be Different fully understands cultural differences and church procedures and practices and is prepared to fall in line also)

When the FULL  TEAM travels at times, they HOPE is to have break out sessions in the day where they teach dance, drama, music and poetry to the church youth and culminate with a Mega Concert.

Interestingly enough and probably God-planned,  the team has access to printing machines and come from a marketing and printing back ground which allows them to travel to Crusades and Motivational events with printed t-shirts, mugs, hats, bandanas, pens, pencils, Cds etc with the event’s theme which helps the HOST MINISTRY to raise funds to alleviate the cost of such functions.

St. Kitts has lost a LEGEND - In Loving Memory of Masud Sadiki

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. (Proverbs 10:7  KJV)



When I woke up this morning, I scrolled down my cell phone directory to Masud's cell phone number. I almost pressed the dial button then I had to come to come to grips with reality, that Masud had really died - everyone couldn't be lying like that.

As I type, so many fond personal experiences between both of us come back to life. Masud was all about POSITIVITY. I don't look for accolades and commendations for the work that I do at all, but I must note on the record here, that this fine legend was among the HANDFUL of my local community that always cheered me on and encouraged me never to give up.

It's like I remember many of his telephone calls. "KVK - Masud here. How things?" In an all excited, bubbly voice. He would share his idea of what he wanted my printing firm to do or to donate to one of his activities and he would always end. "Bless Up Man. You're doing a Good Ting. Don't Stop!"

We go waaaaaaay back. I remember him selling me stuff from his mother's mini-superette and snackette in Verchilds, St. Kitts, close to the high school I was attending. He had heard so much about my first business that I started, KVK BICHANICS, and always promised that he would support it by telling others to bring their bicycles to me to repair. We were young and ambitious. We spent so much time in short conversations just DREAMING. He went on and said, when your bike shop becomes bigger, I'll let you order a motorbike for me. I left the Biking Business too soon and went into T-shirt printing. Masud was one of the first to order a T-shirt from me even before I had machines. His first shirt was printed using my mother's Hand Iron and some T-shirt Paper I had ordered from EBAY. We had dozens of fun, motivational talks to encourage each other.

I remember vividly when he passed by my homebased print shop at Boyds, St. Kitts, for me to digitize his new PULL PHACTOR ENTERTAINMENT  logo to be embroidered. He was with his wife at my business place. You should have seen the excitement when our embroidery machine was sewing it out and he finally got completed shirts. His wide smile told it all.

He had dreams. Many dreams. As I type, I smile. Before he had reached this far in his career, both of us always talked about where we would want to reach in life. We amazed each other with our ambitious dreams. The POSITIVE  ENERGY  from each of our spirits united us as brothers.

Masud was keenly interested in making an impact on youth, just as Dare 2 Be Different is doing. He was apart of community groups whose aim was to do just that. It was all about bringing out the BEST in the young people and encouraging them to go for their dreams.

I personally know that. One of our last lengthy conversations was while I was overseas. I didn't mind paying the HIGH  ROAMING  RATES to hear about his new idea. It was a great idea indeed and I had endorsed it immediately and promised to lend my support.

My heart is at peace now as I write because I feel good inside to have told him about the importance of Jesus in his life and always encourage him and motivate him and tell him that he can accomplish it all. As I visited his facebook page just last night, I saw dozens and dozens of comments and I wondered if many of those people took the time out to ever tell this fine legend how much of an impact he made on their lives through his words and songs and positive attitude, or if they just kept it to themselves like many of us are guilty of  ALWAYS doing.

He wasn't boasting! He was down to earth and easy to talk to. He was always available and busy with community work. If we NEVER told him, here again, we lost another GOLDEN opportunity to tell people about the GOOD they were doing while they are alive and even TALK  WITH  AND  ENCOURAGE  them if they were having a challenging time.

Look Around! There are many people who are hurting and need just a little bit of time out of our busy schedule. You are around fellow employees, businessmen and women, church members, entertainers, etc. From the outside looking in, it may just be different! We need to begin to show more love and compassion again. It may just make the biggest difference in impacting ONE life.

HOPE  IS  AHEAD once we aim to change how selfishly we live at times. Masud gave so much! What did you give back in return? Your ear? Your time? Your Support? Your Commendations? Your Thank Yous?

Or did you keep quiet and are only talking now?

Proverbs 10:7 is indeed TRUE - The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
