Elijah's Ministry: The Arrival of Elijah

Publisher Marketing: Suddenly we heard the sound of an engine, or engines, in the sky. We looked up and saw a small aircraft. I still recollect the look on his face when he heard, and then saw the plane. I immediately pointed to the plane, and addressing him by name said: "Tullie! That is my death. Save yourself !" He hesitated, and I reached to push him out of the van. He moved before my hand reached him. At this time, I looked up to the plane and said, "God, if you ready for me, I ready for you. I'm not scared." Elijah's Ministry: The Arrival of Elijah 1 Before we get ahead of ourselves, as the saying goes, let me introduce myself in what I now consider to be my "IDENTIFICATION CARD." I was informed by my Dad that I was born in a medical facility in the Ivy; in the parish of St. Michael; on the island of Barbados, the most easterly of the Caribbean islands. I was given the name Jeffrey Anthony Agard. My mother, I was told, had a preference for the name Jerry. She was concerned however, that the only person whom she knew with that name, was comedian Jerry Lewis. She understood the importance of people taking me seriously even from the time of my birth it would seem, so I was given the name Jeffrey officially on my birth certificate, but called Jerry. I spent the first seven years of my life in the Sargeant's Village and Clapham areas, and have memories of being in both districts. I attended Vauxhall Primary School in Vauxhall Christ Church until I was seven years old. I was awarded a prize for good academic work on one occasion while there. To the best of my recollection I received a hymn book.
