Sean's Testimony
What We Believe
Troy's Testimony
Sean's Testimony
Our Ministry
 Sean
and his twin brother Troy were born premature, in Freeport Grand Bahama,
Bahamas. The doctors gave them up to die. But, despite the doctors’ grim
prognosis, and a priest being called to pronounce the last rites, God had
another plan. He was "working all things after the counsel of his own
will". The priest
decided to pray that God would spare their lives. God answered his
prayer and the twins survived! They were raised in a God-fearing home by his
mother, and was required
to attend church every time the doors were opened. Since they
lived one block away from the local Assembly of God church, there were no
excuses for staying home. Although, Sean was a very shy and reserved little
boy, he had a gift to sing. He was confidant when he sang and joined
the children's choir at his church. The complements he received fostered a
desire for more recognition. Singing became his way of receiving
attention from his peers.
At age seventeen,
Sean left the Bahamas to attend college in Brooklyn, N.Y. The previously
shy boy, was now self-assured - desiring a career in the entertainment
industry. According to Sean, he
wanted to be a "sex symbol" and to have women "worship him". In his
third year of college, he began recording a secular album with a local N.Y.
Producer, and was on his way to fulfill his dreams! He returned to the
Bahamas for rest and relaxation believing that when he returned to NY, he
would sign a record contract. However, "...many are the plans in a
man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."
In September 1990,
Sean's brother Garfield became gravely ill with a "mysterious" illness.
During his sickness, he visited a number of private doctors, but none could
properly give a diagnosis, and on September 11, 1990,
Garfield died.
This was
a
turning point in Sean's life. He says it was the most difficult
period in his life. Garfield’s death caused
him to reflect upon the teaching and preaching he received as a young boy.
Life and death, heaven and hell, were now real to him. So he made an
emotional, yet tentative, profession of faith in God. He
knew the thing that he loved and longed for
the most – to be famous, would have to be laid upon the altar
of God, if he was serious about pursuing righteousness. Unfortunately,
this resolve only lasted for a few months.
He was not ready to lay down his idols. God
required too much. The cost was too great.
In January of 1991,
Sean returned to NYC with no desire to ever make the Bahamas home again. He
continued his old lifestyle and struggled with sin for about three months.
However, God would not allow him
to be at ease in his sin. He came to the point where he was absolutely
miserable in his rebellion towards God. His mother and
brother (Troy) were praying and asking God to make him miserable so he would
never find satisfaction in his sinful lifestyle.
God heard their desperate prayers and
changed Sean’s heart. Sean returned to the Bahamas and on
March 11, 1991, at 2:00
am, after leaving three local nightclubs in pursuit of pleasure, Sean
came face to face with his sinful life. He
felt that unless he repented, God's mercy would run out. At his mother’s
home, he bowed his head and heart to God and asked the Lord to save him.
Sean returned to NYC and eventually joined Times Square
Church (Revival on Broadway), where he sat under the ministry
of David Wilkerson. God used Pastor Wilkerson to soften Sean's heart and
give him a burden for the lost.
 In describing a part of DoubleEdge's
vision, Sean says, "It is our
desire that God would use our music to open doors of opportunity for us to
preach and teach His Word. Music is powerful; The World, the Media and the
Devil knows and understands this. But I
believe that the church - in general - falls short in it's understanding of
this area. We are very
excited about "Glorify Your Name", and
we believe that God will use this album to
touch and provoke change in many hearts. For us, this is
would be the best and greatest reward.”
DoubleEdge asks
that you remember them in prayer. If you understand the power of prayer,
please go to their web site section where they are seeking prayer partners.
The Gospel cannot be preached without the power of God. And God's power
comes through His praying people.
