Donnie Mcclurkin among Haitians
Donnie Mcclurkin does not often come to visit the Haitian community of Miami, and when he comes it is the Tabernacle of Glory which has the privilege of receiving this extraordinary worshiper who has glorified the Lord Jesus throughout the world for several years.
Donnie Mcclurkin is not only a well-known figure in the evangelical world. It has crossed the border and reached the ears and hearts of those in the secular world. The psalmist has an international career and he makes it his duty to sing in the language of the countries he visits, whether Japan or the countries of the African continent. Donnie has not yet visited Haiti, but he has visited the large Haitian community in Miami on two occasions. Mcclurkin first performed at the Tabernacle of Glory on January 1, 2016 during the event called “12 Evenings of Worship”. He returned to our church during the “Arise and Shine” Conference on July 28.
When Donnie Mcclurkin sings among the Haitians, he makes it his duty to sing in our delicious Creole as well as in French. The singer knows the very popular tune “Louwe louwe, glory to Jesus, peche m yo efase”. “But that’s all I know,” he admitted during his first visit last January. The artist had not only sung but also preached because he is also a pastor of a church. “My first sermon for the year 2016 will be in a Haitian church,” he noted at the time, the senior pastor of the Perfecting Faith Church (311 N. Main Street Freeport, NY 11520).
At the end of his sermon, Donnie Mcclurkin shared his personal testimony with the audience. It was the poignant story of a man who came from nothing, suffered all kinds of abuse (verbal, physical, sexual) to today be a millionaire and one of the best-known voices in world evangelical music. . His secret to breaking the cycle of extreme poverty and abuse? A sacrificial offering of $75 (all he had then) which opened the doors to divine prosperity for him.
Finally, Donnie Mcclurkin worshiped God with the Tabernacle of Glory during a magnificent evening. The world-famous artist performed several pieces from his repertoire such as the famous “I call you faithful” which was taken up in chorus by the crowd. He also introduced to the Tabernacle of Glory an African evangelical song entitled “Imela” which means “thank you”.
“We invited Donnie Mcclurkin not because he is famous, but because he is a worshipper,” declared Pastor Gregory Toussaint, host of the event.
Donnie Mcclurkin made a second visit to the Tabernacle of Glory last July during the “Arise and Shine 2016” Conference. He briefly sang a few tunes from his repertoire and preached fervently on the passion of Christ.
