"Daughters Arise Ministries"

Someday Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  Supporting Scripture: John 14:1–3 (KJV) “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” For over twenty years, we have had the privilege of serving in pastoral ministry. It has been a beautiful journey filled with sacrifice, patience, and joy. God entrusted us with the sacred responsibility of touching lives we may never have reached as ordinary members. I have come to understand that my role as a shepherdess is not simply connected to my husband’s calling, but to God’s personal call upon my own heart. He placed within me a burden for souls long before I understood its full meaning. Now, as Kevin and I walk together in ministry, our service is u...

  Guarding your Joy Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson Key Text:   10  Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the  Lord  is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10   Close your eyes for a moment and think about a joyful experience. Did your face automatically soften into a smile? What was it that stirred that feeling deep inside you? Joy has a way of lighting up the heart, yet it often feels fragile. We want to hold onto it, but life is full of “joy stealers.” They show up subtly in comparison, the pressure of social media, negative conversations, pessimistic voices, or even our own harsh inner critic. Without realizing it, we can surrender our joy piece by piece. But Scripture tells us something powerful: joy is not just an emotion—it’s a source of strength. It comes from the Lord, not our circumstances. In Nehemiah’s time,...

  Loving God With Your All Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson Key Text: Jesus replied:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” - Matthew 22:37 We often say we love God, love people, love our families — but Scripture reminds us that love is proven not by what we say, but by what we do . Love is a verb. Love lives in the small choices, the adjustments we make, the patience we offer, and the sacrifices we’re willing to embrace. Imagine a world where every action was rooted in love. Imagine your own life if every word, every response, every decision flowed out of genuine love. What would change? After 19 years of marriage, my husband and I have become more like each other — not because we started that way, but because love shapes you. My husband is organized, structured, and particular; I am naturally more relaxed. But love has taught me to honor his preferences, and love has taught him to adjust to mine. Over time, we’ve shifted...

  Guarding against Negativity  Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson   Key Text : Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Philippians 4:8   It is very easy to focus on the negatives in life. The hurt we feel, the times we are lied on, cursed out, deceived, or mistreated. The moments that break our trust. The disappointments that shake us. The words that sting long after they were spoken. The negatives in life can haunt us, robbing us of our peace. Have you ever spent a sleepless night replaying something that went wrong? A conversation you wish happened differently? A wound that still feels tender? Those thoughts don’t just stay in the mind — they settle into the body. Your heart may start to race… Your muscles tighten… Your stomach twists… Your whole body responds to a thought as if it...

Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  They That Wait As I listened to the song about those who wait on the Lord, my memory shifted to when I was a child coming home from school and no dinner was prepared. I remember how much I disliked having to go to the shop to buy what would be cooked. I did not enjoy the extra effort. I did not enjoy the waiting while the food was being prepared. Standing there, hungry, watching the pot on the stove felt like forever. But when the food was finally ready and I began to eat, something interesting happened. I did not remember the wait. I did not focus on the delay. What stayed with me was the taste. The satisfaction swallowed the frustration. The nourishment erased the inconvenience. It makes me think differently about waiting. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Isaiah 40:31 Waiting does not mean being forgotten. It does not mean being denied. It does not mean nothing is happening. It means somet...

Deneisha Campbell-Davy  Family Life Director, Kings SDA Love That Never Fails Key Text: 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Lovenever faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. As humans, we are social beings, therefore, we experience various types of love we often experience affection that warms us, commitment that steadies us and passion that inspires us. Yet most of us have also felt love that disappoints us, a love that falter under pressure, or fade with time. In contrast to these fragile versions of love, God through His word, calls us to experience someth...

  Checking Your Heart Posture Key Text: “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23–24 In the 1990s, a saying swept through youth culture and even resonated with adults: “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.” It was a simple reminder that careless living and unchecked attitudes can lead to unnecessary destruction. Many people are skilled at extrospection . We look outward and analyze everything and everyone around us. We can pinpoint the faults of others with precision. We can critique, evaluate, and diagnose what’s wrong “out there.” But introspection is far less natural. It is a deliberate act. A spiritual discipline. A courageous choice. It requires honesty— real honesty. It calls us to stop deflecting and start reflecting. It demands that we look into the mirror of our soul and allow God to reveal who we truly are beneath the surface. When D...

  Let Peace Protect You Key Text: Colossians 3:15 (KJV) “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Survivor  Growing up, much of my life was surrounded by fighting. My mother and stepfather fought. My siblings fought. We lived in an environment where several aunts, uncles, and cousins were close by, and that brought even more conflict and disagreement. Physical and verbal abuse were part of our daily reality, and many days felt extremely long and difficult. The greatest sense of peace I experienced as a child was when I was at school—but even there, I found myself fighting. My teachers often asked why I looked so serious. Smiling became something I forced myself to do just to survive. As my life progressed, I began to yearn deeply for peace. I prayed to God to give me the peace that “passeth all understanding.” Sometimes I would take my mat and go to the bush or the gully,...

Love Without Limits  Scripture : “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” — 1 John 4:7 (NKJV) Jusene Brown  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  Living here in the beautiful Cayman Islands, we are surrounded by the vast blue seas. Even if everyone were to enter the ocean at the same time, there would still be more than enough water left. If we were to scoop some out or take a drink, the ocean would not run dry. This is a powerful reminder of God’s love. No matter how many times we have failed Him, His love remains abundant and available. God’s love is never exhausted, never diminished, and never withheld. As children of God, we are called to extend that same love to others even when they have failed us. Loving others is not always easy, but it is evidence that we truly know God. Recently, I visited Jamaica and noticed something beautiful at my aunt’s home. After the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa,...

  Healing Begins Within Deneisha Campbell-Davy  Family Life Director  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  “The LORD is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  Psalm 34:18 (NIV) A year and a half ago, I lost my sister, she was not just a sister to my siblings and I. She was like a mother, a teacher, a good cook and a trusted friend. To the children, not just her children but to all children and elderly, she was like “Santa” always bearing gifts. During her illness in 2023, I was fasted and prayed earnestly, sincerely 3 days per week for her healing and the healing of two other members of our church. However, in 2024, the other two individuals survived their illnesses, but my sister, my beloved sister, died. I was angry, I was hurting, my heart was not just broken, it was shattered. As one of the individuals shared their testimony of God’s goodness, I became very angry at God, not that I wasn’t happy for that person, but I asked Go...

WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE SONG BUT GOD PLAYS THE RHYTHM Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Key Text-  “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever.”  Psalm 138:8 (NKJV) In November 2025, I had to do a series of tests based on requests from the doctors. One day I went for an appointment and I heard a song in the triage room. It was the first time I was hearing the song and I kept humming the tune for the entire day.  After reaching home I could not remember the words all I could remember was the tune as the phrase “I will wait for You.” I searched YouTube and found the song and man, it was powerful. I played that song repeatedly each day and it gave me a deep assurance that God is with me. Fast forward to a few weeks after, I was booked for an appointment to do a particular test. Before entering the room I was praying earnestly and singing the same song. I told God that I am not afraid but I do not like needles so just take care of that ...
