“I left dealing with people who were physically wounded for dealing with people who were spiritually wounded. Dealing with the latter is far, far more demanding.”By Leon SuseranA young and dedicated nurse and trained midwife Wilbert Daniels decided to leave his love for nursing behind to pursue his new passion. He left administering to people’s health to administer to their spiritual needs instead, since he felt the calling. After numerous spiritual battles, he gave himself over to the Ministry of the church,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, where he has made a huge impact today.He was born to James, a miller at Rose Hall Estate and housewife,Wholesale China Jerseys, Lucille Daniels at Goed Bananen Land, East Canje, a community in which persons were predominantly employed by the sugar estate at Rose Hall.Wilbert DanielsWilbert attended St. Patrick’s Anglican School, Cumberland Methodist (today Primary) School, Overwinning Primary from 1973-1975 and Berbice High School from 1975-1979.Daniels spoke about his religious experiences which began during his teenage years. Participating at a debate at Berbice High dealing with spirituality made him dig deep into his own life. Then he began to feel depressed.“I lost interest in going back to school and my parents would ask me what was going on…they did not understand but within me, there were a lot of battles and struggles.”In 1977, one of his aunts, a Pentecostal Christian invited him to her church for prayers. “During my struggles, I tried to pray and talk to God but all I knew was the Lord’s Prayer; I did not know to articulate my feelings.”He remembers truly enjoying the Pentecostal Service at Mahaicony where everyone was singing and praying and dancing.“It was an eye-opener for me…and it was the first time I heard spontaneous prayer… so I took note of all of that.” He eventually joined the Pentecostal Church where he felt more comfortable and “found meaning and purpose in life”.His school work-study stint was spent at the New Amsterdam (N/A) Hospital.In 1978, Daniels felt the need to enter the world of work, more specifically,Jerseys Wholesale, the nursing profession.“I found that was my nature…I was more on the sympathetic side. In 1980 I joined the School of Nursing at the N/A Hospital. I completed the Professional Nursing Programme three years later after which I enlisted and completed the Midwifery Programme in 1985. I still cherish my years as a nurse,” he recalled.Delivering the feature address at the N/A Lions Club’s 51st Installation Ceremony in June“The standards and levels of nursing practice in those days were very,Cheap Jerseys From China, very good in that you had good mentors and they ensured you had to toe the line. I worked mostly in the pediatric ward for a number of years and the maternity unit, as well as a midwife.Daniels spent nine years as a nurse where he worked stints at N/A as well as the National Psychiatric Hospital (NPH).His wife, June, back then (and still is today) the nurse- in- charge at the Rosignol Health Centre would also share experiences working in the health field with her husband.And then the change occurred. The Full Gospel Fellowship (FGF), having no branch in New Amsterdam, decided to use Daniels to start its mission in the town in 1978. He became actively involved in the work of the church while he was still a nurse. Juggling two professions was tougher than he imagined.“As I got more and more involved in the church work, my pastor ended up returning to Georgetown and there was a void. I worked as a nurse and took care of the assistant pastoring of the church and there were growing demands. I felt that I just could not cope with both— I had to be working shifts, nights.”He decided to resign from his initial pursuit in 1989 and stated that it was not an easy decision.“The opportunity never provided itself fully for me to go back to it [nursing]. If I was called upon in a crisis situation to give my services, I still would do that,Wholesale Jerseys USA, but I still cherish those years [in nursing].”After resigning, he had a lot more time to administer to the needs of the church for which he was responsible.
