El-Shaddai Ladies Get Ready For Free Legal Talk

Nassau, The Bahamas….The Women’s Ministry of El-Shaddai Ministries International (Bahamas) will be providing an evening of free legal consultation with noted attorney Nadia Johnson of Harding, Lee and Co. The event is planned for Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 7:30pm at El-Shaddai Ministries on Mount Royal Avenue (the old Culmersville Laundromat).
According to President of the group Elder Dorian Cox, Johnson’s expertise comes at a time when so many hurting women are desperate to find out their rights in many matters that can make a huge difference in their lives. Johnson will also specifically address The Benefits of Inheritance Planning.
Johnson was called to the Bahamas Bar in 2005 after being trained at the University of Buckingham and University of the West of England. Her areas of expertise includes conveyancing, mortgages, family law, wills and probates. She is also the president of Toastmasters Club 6796.
“We are excited to have Nadia Johnson joining us,” said Cox. “We are also pleased to be able to bring this to a community like Culmersville where many people feel that legal consultation is out of reach for them. This is an awesome opportunity to find out what rights they have as single mothers, what to do in terms of settling divorces, how to get accurate answers on inheriting property and to find out whatever they feel affects them at no cost to them.”
Ladies interested in attending El-Shaddai’s Legal Talk are urged to reserve their seats by calling 361-7153 or 356-0510 at the church or visit http://www.elshaddiministries.org/History.html

Bahamian Body Building Champ “Mighty Mouse” To Represent Caribbean Region at World Games

Nassau, The Bahamas…Already known to China as a small nation packing a mighty blow when it comes to athleticism following the 2008 Olympics, The Bahamas stands a great chance of earning yet another medal when Paul Edward “Mighty Mouse” Wilson faces off during the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The powerhouse was personally selected by the International Bodybuilding Federation to represent the Caribbean region at The World Games.
At 5 foot 2 inches tall and 152 pounds, Wilson is a 26 year-old bodybuilding champion in the lightweight amateur division. He started the sport nine years ago while in high school and spent the last eight years dominating the sport. Among the titles he’s accumulated are the reigning Central American Caribbean champion gold medalist, the reigning national lightweight champion, and the two time champion of the Southern States Body Building Competition in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While representing The Bahamas for the past eight years, the man they call Mighty Mouse earned one gold, two silvers, and one bronze medal at four of those competitions. In 2006, he placed 17th out of 71 competitors at the World Championships held in the Czech Republic.
“I’ve been doing this sport since I was a teenager,” Wilson reflects. “In fact, I entered my first competition the day after I graduated Faith Temple Christian High School. I became a certified fitness instructor in Nevada and now I’m one of the personal fitness instructors at Mystikal Fitness, where I also train. All in all, I am more than ready to compete.”
Another thing that Wilson is ready to do is to bring more attention to the sport and he’s determined to get the financial backing he needs to reach his goals.
“I think that body building in The Bahamas is being stunted because of the downturn in the economy and the stigmatism that goes along with the sport,” he noted. “It does take a lot of money to stick to the proper diet, the vitamins, supplements and gym membership but a the same time, Bahamians have not only proven to be successful in the sport, but also are serious when it comes to abusing their bodies with steroids. I’m proud to say that we (The Bahamas) don’t have anyone known for drug abuse at these competitions.”
As for his pending competition, Wilson is ready for to make the nation proud on his first trip to Asia.
“I’m excited about going to Chinese Taipei,” he says. “I’ve seen some of the top notch athletes at other competitions and I’m ready. I’ve faced off against some of them before and I know the caliber of athletes on that level. Overall, I’m motivated to compete and bring what I’ve got to the forefront.”
The World Games are set to begin July 16.
