\u201cThe logistics are challenging to pull this concert together in a short period of time. But Jamaica wants to see it happen. It\u2019s a great opportunity for the island, the entertainment industry and all involved,\u201d a source told Loop News <\/em>reporter Claude Mills.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Delano Seiveright, senior advisor and strategist in the Ministry of Tourism, also confirmed the development in a tweet.<\/p>\n

A newly minted Christian, West reportedly will be accompanied by his gospel choir of more than 100 singers.<\/p>

The concert is scheduled to begin at 7pm.<\/p>\n

It will be the first Sunday Service concert in the Caribbean, since West started the series in January.<\/p>
