Island News

A quick report about my time in sunny, HOT Jamaica:
  • My time spent with the men and women of the youth program was really great! I got to know quite a bit about them, and they also got to know a bit about us. We played hours of dominoes as we talked about life, Jesus, Jamaica, America, culture, etc.
  • Praise God! We also found a house to rent!!! It is owned by an elder in the church who is currently making preparations for us to come! We are stoked about the house because it is just outside of town, has a yard, has mango, cherry, and plum trees in the back yard, there is extra room to host, and it is about a five minute walk to the church! God is good, and we thank Him for His provision!
  • I was able to spend lots of time talking with Pastor Vernon Allen (senior pastor and pastor we will assist). We shared our thoughts on ministry, needs, areas of ministry, etc. It was great to know that we are on the same page and that he is excited for us to come.
It was an informative, fun, and profitable trip for sure. We thank you for your prayers over the past week as well as your continued prayers!

Grace and peace,
Jon and Kirsten
