Every year for the past nine years, an international prophetic encounter has been held at the Fairmont Southampton Resort.

Hosting the event last week was The Restoration Fellowship Church, pastored by former broadcaster Rev. George Smith. It regularly worships at the T. Neville Tatem School Auditorium in Warwick, but while renovations have been underway there for the past several weeks, the congregation has been worshipping at the Elbow Beach Hotel's Bermuda Room.

Pastor Smith said the entire week was one to be remembered, and proved to be the best ever held since it was initiated nine years ago. Bishop Christopher Haynes is Overseer of Restoration Fellowship.

He and his wife Dr. Roxanne Haynes were joined by a number of noted prophets from abroad, including Bishop Robert Brown, Dr. Kervin Smith; Dr. Edith S. Brown, Dr. Dominic Allotey, and Bishop Donald Wright from Washington, DC.

"We are a non-demonitional church," said Pastor Smith. "Intercession and Restoration Ministries is an international ministry, headed by Bishop Haynes. We have travelled among other places to South Africa, Florida and the New York area."

Dr. Kervin Smith has been called "a prophetic voice for the new millenium". The president and founder of Kervin J. Smith Ministries is an international teacher, consultant, motivational speaker, highly sought after conference speaker. He received his bachelor's degree in Finance, Master's in Theology and Doctorate in Ethetics.
