Last Christmas at the biggest annual lime in Georgetown Guyana, the Dancehallgospel.com, Turning point, Things Gospel TV Show crew and uncountable number of Christians gathered at Main and Middle Street intersection of the Big Lime and participated in what they called the Real Christmas J.A, M. This movement that plans to be ongoing will highlight the true meaning of Christmas and will contribute to the countries tourism, with family oriented events that focuses on non violence and good morals.

International known D.J. and Artiste D.J. Evangelist who is based in Toronto Canada headlined last years J.A.M. and was accompanied by other Guyanese artiste L-egant from New York.

While attendees normally step in late at the big Lime the Christian location was already getting some crowd by 5.30 pm. Solid Youth with others rocked the crowd with hits after hits while backed by Guyana‘s Gospel Sound “Turning Point Sound System” that was fueled with a base line to shake your stomach out of your body.

This year at the Real Christmas J.A.M. the Famous Guyanese trio Eddie Neblett, Solid Youth and the gospel general Kester D. will be the main highlighted attraction. Other rising stars will be Christ Like Soldiers and Sean English to name a few.

When you think Christians can’t P.A.R.T.Y. think again?

The Guyanese Gospel popular Trio Kester D, Eddie Neblett and Solid Youth is set to be part of the 3rd event from dancehallgospel.com and Turning Point Promotions. The promoters have had great success in their last two events at the Main Big Lime last Boxing Day and on the Sea wall band stand Easter Monday. Both events thus far has included international Gospel sound systems and artiste such as L-egant ( New York) DJ Evangelist ( Canada) Baby C ( Trinidad ).

The Third installment titled the Holy Ghost P.A.R.T.Y which will be kept at the new improved Ocean View Poolside promises to be a great night filled with clean entertainment, games, music and much more. When asked why such an event, the promoters responded by saying “Christians have no where much to go and fellowship where the atmosphere can be glorifying to Jesus.” He elaborated by saying “if you go to a regular eatery to fellowship the music and conduct of many is out of order and we cannot afford to compromise our walk with the Lord.”

As many would know the word “party” is associated with things contrary to the lifestyle of a Christian, it was made very clear that it’s not the same at the Holy Ghost P.A.R.T.Y. The promoters highlighted that P.A.R.T.Y is an acronym for Praise And Reverence To Yahweh.

At the Holy Ghost party there is no alcoholic beverages being served and a dress code of fashionable and modest attire is in effect. The event which seems to attract many also includes DJ Evangelist from Toronto Canada and Craig C from Kingston Jamaica. There will be live video taping by Guyana’s popular gospel T.V. show Things Gospel.

When you think the entry fee for an event such as this would cost over a thousand dollars think again, The Holy Ghost P.A.R.T.Y tickets is only 500 dollars and is available at Swansea and Everything Music outlets.
