Festival: Friday Photos | Saturday Photos | Stats

In 2010, Miles Ahead ministries introduced the Do Something World campaigns.

For the past 6-months in Grand Cayman they have partnered with churches, businesses and community leaders to harness the power of volunteerism. Now the Do Something organisation is hosting a 2-day festival where Miles McPherson shares the news of Jesus Christ and how the Lord has transformed his life.

In addition, festival goers of all ages will enjoy exciting live music, gaming tents, a motor cross stunt show and, great food.

Local artist Luelan Bodden has been tasked with creating a unique sculpture for Cayman’s “Do Something” campaign. It will serve as a symbol for the volunteer drive and when complete, will be placed the Cayman Islands Hospital.

Do Something World sculpture: Unveiling

Months of service by both Cayman Island and San Diego volunteers, culminated in the unveiling of a statue at Health Services Authority/George Town Hospital. The sculpture was designed to create a legacy piece that would remind everyone in the community about the Do Something World campaign for years to come. In the Old Testament, when a significant moment occurred, the people would set up stones of remembrance. The monument created by two artists who donated their time and materials commemorates all of the service done by the Cayman and San Diego volunteers.

The dilapidated cells at the George Town police station are getting major renovations thanks to members of the international “Do Something” campaign who were busy adding brighter colours to the lock up earlier today (13 May).

Founder Miles McPherson says it’s just part of the many activities planned for this week as the “Do Something” campaign gives back to the Cayman community.

The heart of the Do Something World campaign is to equip people to use their passion and pain to find their purpose. Throughout the week, the Miles Ahead teams have been using their passion and talents to impact Cayman.

Each day, the Sports Ministry visits a different school. They conduct skateboarding, volleyball, basketball, and soccer clinics for the students, all as a platform to share the Gospel. Pastor Miles has been visiting all of the projects. At several of the sites, Cayman government officials have met with Pastor Miles to thank him for the work that is being done.

On Wednesday, Rolston Anglin, the Minister of Education, and Christen Suckoo, the Deputy Chief Officer for Ministry of Education visited John A. Cumber with Pastor Miles. John A. Cumber Primary school has been the site for two of the Miles Ahead teams this week. Both the Community Projects team and Medical team have been helping the students and faculty on the outside and inside.

After the morning show and the press conference, Pastor Miles finished out his afternoon with a live interview at Radio Cayman. Whether it’s the media, a poster, or word-of-mouth, Do Something World and its impact are spreading throughout Cayman and beyond.

Growing up, Tim watched his dad steal to support his drug habit. While his dad made money from stealing, he would spend it all on drugs. In order to make ends meet, his mom would take the kids stand outside the grocery store and beg.

“I saw my dad’s arms full of sores from doing drugs and I didn’t understand where all his money was going and why he was always broke.”

Rather than learn from his dad’s mistakes, Tim started doing drugs by age 15. He eventually found himself using drugs everyday and selling them to support his habit. His drug addiction took him down a road of wrong choices, which led him to two prison terms. After he got out of jail, Tim felt desperate and alone. He cried out to God and asked Him to change his life. Now, Tim now helps with the Prison Ministry. Rather than forget about his past, Tim has allowed God to use his past to minister to others.
