We are back from Jamaica!
We had a wonderful time and the Lord really blessed the medical clinics. The days were really hectic. There were days that we would leave at 7am and not return home until 9 or 10 pm. The doctors saw about 300 patients over the course of four clinics and we had 30 professions of faith in Jesus.
The people of Jamaica are wonderful. They have a sweet spirit and a willing smile and we felt very welcome. We did all of our work in Kingston. In addition to medical clinics, we also did street preaching, Sunday services and morning devotionals for school children.
Don't shake your head, you heard right. In Jamaica, they allow Christians to come into the elementary and high schools and spend time with the kids in biblical devotions. We were able to share the gospel with many children (about 500 if I had to guess) and many made professions of faith in Christ.
Jamaica is a different country with a different background but we both share roots in the colonialist influence of England and therefore things are very similar.
I have included a picture of my only souvenir, a coffee mug with the unofficial national motto.
I hope this post finds you well. As I digest the information over the course of the next few days, I will post as the need arises.
Blessings to you!
Pastor Jeff.
