St Kitts' beautiful Sandy Point was the setting for a dramatic story which changed
the life of a foul mouthed slave trader named John Newton. Newton went on to pen
one of the most famous and well-loved songs of all time - "Amazing Grace".
At the Amazing Grace Experience's Visitor Center on St. Kitts, you will discover
the story of John Newton and the history behind the song "Amazing Grace".
You will also learn more about the tropical island paradise - St Kitts. You will
be inspired to continue Newton's fight by discovering more about slavery
in today's world.
Come and discover more of this amazing story whilst visiting the Caribbean island
of St Kitts (also known as St Christopher). Join an Island Tour and learn more
of our history.
The Amazing Grace Experience is currently sponsored by a UK Christian Family owned
business, (Transpakship – International movers & storers) who for over forty years
have business connections with St. Kitts and other Caribbean Islands.
The aim is not to place on a pedestal a white slave trader ‘John Newton’ but rather to
link the hymn – Amazing Grace with the shores of St Kitts. Both locals and visitors alike
can afford a visit to the new center and understand the connection between the song and St Kitts.
The transforming change that happened in the bay of Sandy Point helped strengthen the
fight against the Slave Trade through men such as William Wilberforce.
