Jamaica Blog - Day One

The Jamaica Team has landed! After a minor delay in Detroit the rest of the trip went very smoothly. This video shows everything up to our arrival at Fair Haven Christian Retreat Center. After unpacking the team got into the Jamaican culture through hanging out at the "hip strip" and discovering the sea life in the ocean. After a great dinner and a some encouragement from Pastor Dave, the head of Jamaica Links Ministry, the team rested and planned for their first day of ministry tomorrow. 

I don't know if all of the blogs will turn out this well, but here is a quick look at our days events. Thanks to everyone who kept us in prayer; all of our luggage arrived smoothly and we are all safe. The excitement is brimming among the group and we are all excited for tomorrow. Our plan is to travel to the school for our devotional skit and then to Robin's Nest Orphanage. God bless.
