Well, if we can't be in 'Merica on the fourth of July, I think Point Antonio, Jamaica is the next best choice! We spent the morning assisting the PABC with a ministry that includes health, healing, prayer, and evangelism. We split into three teams, each led by a member of the local church. One was the health team that went door to door with a nurse offering to provide health checks or assistance with any health needs. The other two were evangelism teams that went door to door or along the street downtown to talk to people about Christ, invite them to PABC, and/or pray with them. This was a big stretch for all of us, but we followed the excellent example of our team leader, and soon the kids were initiating conversations, telling people about the PABC, writing down prayer requests, and praying with complete strangers.
Then we spent an absolutely perfect afternoon at Fisherman's Cove. Many of our kids spent a lot of time in trees..... I'll leave it to them to explain it to you!
The evening was spent at a "Cultural Exchange" at Draper Baptist Church. Our group and the three local churches all presented music and dance to the group. Much of the evening was spent celebrating and reflecting on the 7 year partnership between our churches. It's hard to say to goodbye to friends who have meant so much for so many years, but we know that we will forever treasure our Jamaican family!
Tomorrow we leave for the airport at 7:30 AM. It will be another long travel day, so please continue to pray for our journey, our friends here, and the Lord's continuing work in our hearts.
