Weekend goodies

Hello to the faithful!

Here are three for the weekend:

1) Please be in prayer for me (Jon) this week coming up because I will be in sunny Jamaica. I am going to scope out the scene, look for a place to call home, figure out working papers, and get a taste of normal life in Jamaica.

2) We also are praising God for His great provisions! This week our church had VBS and we were the "special missionaries". Kids had a penny contest to raise some money for us and they brought in lots of copper poundage! They were so excited to see us and to hear from us, it was truly humbling to see the passion and joy in the hearts of little ones. God is good and we are very thankful!

3) The Glenn Taylor Band, a local band, is going to throw us a concert! The date is August 15th, however, the rest of the details still need to be worked out. Stay tuned for details, because it is going to be a great time!

grace and peace,
Jon

Our very first post

Well it is official...we are now online! We hope that you will join us and share in the ministry to the people of Buff Bay, Jamaica! The goal is to give you weekly updates from Jamaica (as well as the lead up to leaving), prayer items, fun stories, new/old/interesting thoughts, etc. Stay tuned...there is a lot more to come!

Grace and peace,
Jon and Kirsten
