  2. YOUNG MASTERMINDS HISTORY In January 2013 Pastor Errol A Williams pioneered and developed Young MasterMinds. He has a vision to inspire male youths under 18 years, to become responsible young men for the future and equip the church to respond with positive action towards them within the church and community. He has a passion to see lives affected by crime, family discord and social deprivation changed by this ministry. I am honoured to be apart of this vision and when appointed by Pastor Errol to be the Director for this project I initially declined. My first thoughts were ‘huge challenge’. However after much prayer I felt led to take this forward. My prayer is to see many young lives challenged, changed and diverted from the negative influences of poverty, crime and anti-social behaviour and led to Christ. Sister Jennifer Jones  Director Young Masterminds Tubbs Road
