But the negatives should not take away from the objective to raise funds for Sheldon McIntosh, whose story is a testimony many Christians should want to embrace.
On March 17, 2008, McIntosh, a self-employed young man went to a business place to collect money owed to him. Unfortunately, his visit was not to be uneventful as he crossed paths with gunmen who had also decided to call on the business place. He was shot four times, three to the head and one to the side.
According to McIntosh, seated in a wheelchair to the back of the auditorium, the shot to his side went through, but two of the shots grazed his head and one lodged in his neck, paralysing him.
Through a financial grant, McIntosh went to Cuba for one-month therapy, and has made some progress, but it is an expensive venture and he needs funds to complete the recommended six months.
"I chose to do a gospel show to raise funds," McIntosh shared with The Gleaner. Perhaps his decision was influenced by Charmaine Brown's scream of "I love you, Jesus!" as she and other women lifted and helped McIntosh to the hospital. McIntosh said it was those words that pulled him back from the dark.
Brown was one of the performers on the programme. She gave a fair performance of I Love You, Jesus and He Raised Me Up.
Young Redeem and Charmaine Limonius gave a creditable performance too.
