I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart...

One thing that struck me about Jamaica was the level of poverty. We are so blessed in the United States and we don’t even realize it. There are people living in houses which might be condemned if they were here and they still have joy.
This is the first mission trip where I really felt the people had joy in their hearts which comes from the Lord. It would be great if everyone had a chance to travel to a different country and see people living in another context.
Jamaica is very English. They clearly bear the stamp of British colonialism yet they are uniquely a people in their own right.
Glorious times were had in Jamaica and I look forward to going back again.
Maybe you want to go with me next time….no worries....God can do all things.
