North Meets South

Yesterday, north met south once again in a park in Jamaica. Our North American culture collided with Jamaican culture at the end of a children's outreach. We tried to conduct a free giveaway to needy kids and we were mobbed. I am thankful they were motly younger children. One thing that transcends culture is the love of Christ. I am looking forward to a few more days of sharing the love of Jesus with the people of Jamaica.

Back to Jamaica

Years ago, there was a commercial that encouraged people to "Come Back to Jamaica." This week realized a 28 year old dream of returning to Bath, Jamaica where Marie and I went on our first mission's trip. The church had dwindled down to an handful of people over the last few years. The leaking roof of the church is so bad that the ceiling has fallen down in several places. Our team of 20 people did so an excellent job loving and ministering to the kids, teens and adults of this town on our opening day of ministry yesterday. Last night, the church was full inside with many people standing outside the doors and windows of the church. The response to altar call in the public school outreach and church service last night was overwelming with 75+ salvations. Today, we will go to another school, more witnessing in the town and then another church service.
