By Leon SuseranWe feature different kinds of people each week in this column and each and every one of them has their distinct special qualities. Our ‘Special Person’ this week has a flare for preaching the word of God; he is well respected and well- known around the religious circles in Guyana since he has travelled the length and breadth of this beautiful country,Wholesale NFL Jerseys 2018, delivering hisBrother Winston Campbellpower- packed sermons and messages. He gave up his job at the Rose Hall Estate after being ‘called’ to deliver divine messages. He left what he was doing to become a preacher whose skills would be perfected in the years to follow and whose life would never be the same again. At one time, he wanted to call it quits, but prayers are said to be powerful and prayers helped him to stay on through the narrow road.Winston Edward Campbell was born on 25 November, 1929 to housewife, Arata Rebecca Campbell and farmer and labourer, William Bert Campbell at Gibraltar, Corentyne.Sadly, when he was six years old,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, his mother passed away, leaving his father to shoulder much of the responsibilities in the home. Winston was one of six children in the home.“I grew without a mother; I grew a little with my grandmother, a little with my stepmother and then myself.”Losing his mom at quite a young age left young Winston to deal with the tragedy and it only sank into his head– young as he was–that she was indeed gone a few days after she was buried.“She was a very slim person- a little brown skin, very quiet,” he recalled. “When she died, I was not sad or so at first, until after a day or two when I really, you know, missed a mother…then it took effect in me.”He noted that the family pulled through during the tough times because “two years after her death, he [my father] got married and then he left home and was living at Bramsfield,NHL Jerseys Authentic, working with Bookers’ Estate as a Ranch Manager and we were back home with my grandmother.”Winston attended St. Columbia Scott’s School in Canje up to Form four.He left school at the age of 13 years due to having to care for his sisters and he took up fishing. He had no other choice, he added.As a young ‘country boy’, he recalled working in the farms with his grandmother and cousin.Afterwards, his father took ill and “I had to take the responsibility to maintain the entire family and got my sisters married. I remained with my father.” ?? ?After his mother’s death, his elder brother left home and went away and so, young Winston had to take up several responsibilities such as working in the rice fields. For 36 cents a day he worked on the maintenance of the old Corentyne brick road at age 14 years. He then left and went to work at the Rose Hall Estate with one of the Overseers as House Messenger Boy after which he worked in the fields, loading punts until 1969. Afterwards, he became a contractor with the road project until he got married to Stella Amanda Thomas at age 18 on September 22, 1952. The union bore 12 children. However, one died in a truck accident at age 12 while another was stillborn. On July 25, 2002 Winston left his job thereafter to become a preacher.And that began a new chapter of his life. He had already “accepted the Lord as my Saviour in 1962.”In explaining how he made the huge leap of faith, Campbell recalled that his wife was very sick and he was spending all his money to get her better. “I had to stop plant rice, because I ran out of finance and then a preacher came up here, a missionary, Harry Dass, with another fella, Dennis Elliman, and they were stopping not too far from where I was living.”At first he was very hesitant to attend their services even though he had been invited.? Although he attended the local village Anglican Church, Campbell was never the regular churchgoer. He sent his wife, though, to the missionaries’ church, “and she would come back and tell me what they would preach and what they would do; praying for people who were sick and so. She was prayed for and she felt the pain in her back disappear, so she invited me.”Brother Campbell is surrounded by his children and some kids from the community who are being cared for by his family.He did go, out of curiosity, and he continued to attend. After praying and communicating deeply with the Divine Being, and going back home one night, he kept feeling the need to return for more and “I started to feel free in my spirit and I started to pray and praise God and felt nice.”He was approached by the missionaries to become a preacher and that he did, after quitting the job he had.He later acquired a land and a church was built, the Christian Global Network at Number 1 Road Corentyne.“I continued the ministry unto this day and I think until I die…” He recalled how
