Jamaica Blog - Final Day

As our team heads home we would like to thank everyone who has watched and commented on our blog. Technology has made us able to see another dimension of the connectedness of the body of Christ. Even though we are only 25 people in Jamaica, you are all a part of our trip through your prayers and support. Enjoy this last blog, and we hope to see you all soon... weather permitting of course.

Jamaica Blog - Day Five

Special Valentine's Day Spectacular!

Day 5 by Austin Katai and Luke Thorne

We started off the day going to a school to perform our skits. The kids seemed to really enjoy our presence and our skits. After that we came back to Fairhaven to eat breakfast and do work projects around here. Our projects consisted of painting and cleaning. Following work, we had the choice of either going down the strip or going snorkeling. Snorkeling was an awesome opportunity and we really enjoyed experiencing God's creation. Tonight we are going out to dinner and then going to Glistening Waters. Today was a fun day and gave us the opportunity to catch our breath and relax before heading back to work tomorrow.

Jamaica thoughts by Rachel

This trip has been harder because we don't see the rewards of our trip right away. We may never see them; or we may see results in our lives more than in the lives of the people we're ministering to. The work we are doing here is much more relational. I just hope that people have come before us and that people come after us to reinforce our message. Our group has mostly been working with kids and it is so heartwrenching to think of what will become of them after we leave. All we can do is love on them while we are with them. What has touched me was the joy on the faces of the special needs children. Most of them were laughing more than our group was even though they have less than a fraction of what we do. I just think of the quote, "love makes the world go round."

Jamaica Day Four

Our team spent today doing devotions at two schools, as well as visiting the Special Needs Orphanage called West Haven. Tonight we are going to a church service at a church in Montego Bay which should be very exciting. The video for today is short; but we hope it shows the joy our team had serving and loving the kids.
