On a hot summer day in August we were treated to the outstanding music of the One Way Steel Drum Gospel Orchestra of Trinidad & Tobago. Making their third appearance in as many years, these talented musicians shared both their music and their strong Christian witness.

Founded in August of 2000, One-Way Evangelistic Ministries is a multifaceted international outreach ministry. The three major methods of our outreach include itinerant speaking, short-term international missions trips, and hosting steelpan gospel missionary music teams from the Caribbean.

Evangelist, Jerry Singh, founder and director of One-way Evangelistic Ministries travels in the United States, the Caribbean, and South America sharing his testimony and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He speaks at churches, camps, revivals, missions conferences, evangelistic trainings, youth rallies, schools, nursing homes, prisons, detention homes, street meetings and crusades.

Guyana, South America and Trinidad, West Indies are the target countries for this year's short term international mission outreach. A team of about 20 individuals are currently training in Wyoming to venture out on May 28th for this three week mission endeavor. The international mission trip is designed to be evangelistic in nature: all activities will either be directly or support evangelistic work. Primary activities will include crusades, street meetings, door-to-door witnessing, school presentations, local church support, orphanage visitations, and jail ministries.

Steelpan gospel missionary music teams also tour through out the United States under the management and direction of One-way Evangelistic Ministries. The steelpan, indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago (West Indies), provides a unique platform from which to share the gospel message. The history of the steelpan drum intrigues audiences, as the instruments are actually made from 55 gallon oil drums (originally discarded into the ocean off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago by the U.S. military during W.W.II). These interactive programs are presented in churches, schools, nursing homes, camps, prisons, parades, and community events.

The Personal Testimony of Jerry Singh

Evangelist, Founder and Director of ONE-WAY EVANGELISTIC MINISTRIES

Descending from a long line of Brahmin priests and gurus, groomed in the ways of Hinduism and destined to become a leader in the traditional priesthood was supposedly my "karma" or purpose in life. After many years of disillusionment, my struggle for meaning in life came to an abrupt end. At the age of 14, I was introduced to the Lord Jesus Christ, the world's only savior. As a result of trusting Christ as my savior I became an outcast by my community, faced religious persecution by my Hinduism to Christ family and I experienced abandonment by being thrown into the streets because I had brought great shame and insult to Hinduism.

Within God's sovereign purpose, this seeming tragedy brought great triumph. I have since been accepted back into my family and have experienced the joy of seeing them won to Christ.

After graduating from the University of the West Indies I realized the Lord's calling into full-time Christian service. This led me to the United States for specialized training. In 1992 I graduated from New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, Michigan; and 1994 completed the New Tribes Missionary Training Program in Fredonia, Wisconsin. During this time I met my wife, Kathy.

We served the Lord as missionaries with Frontier School of the Bible in LaGrange, Wyoming for 5 1/2 years. I was an instructor and involved in public relations as the school represen tative and travelling evangelist. During this time the Lord blessed our marriage with the addition of our three children: Daniel (5), Rebekah (3) and Isaiah (1).

The Birth of One-Way Evangelistic Ministries

The Lord also used this time to instill the vision of One-Way Evangelistic Ministries into my heart: it is our mission to present the Lord Jesus Christ as the world's only savior, exclusively, unequivocally and uncompromisingly. The premise of this ministry is structured upon John 14:6, Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Three methods we incorporate to accomplish this mission are itinerate speaking, short-term international mission trips, and facilitating U.S. evangelistic music tours with steelpan gospel missionary music teams from my homeland, Trinidad & Tobago.
