AN INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR THE MONTH OF JULY 2020 – Darren Sammy former West Indies Cricket Captain I admire Darren Sammy for his honesty, especially in this day and age when a lot of people would be either ashamed or frightened to admit their faith in Jesus Christ. ‘Captaincy is overrated’ Darren Sammy was appointed West Indies captain until the end of the current season.
