Hello everyone back on the home front, all the students say hello. We have been having a great time the last few days seeking Gods direction. You have truly blessed us as leaders with great kids. We could not have asked for a better team.
As I write yall this letter I am sitting in an office with a roster crowing every two seconds so bare with me if I run off course. The Spirit has been moving in our group a lot the last few days. We have been spending time listening to what he has to say, and it has been very sweet. God is good. Yesterday we headed out of The Salvation Army Compound to do some prayer walks and to talk to people on the street. A few of our students were able to talk to some people about Christ. Nothing has come of it yet, but we are very positive because God has been moving in great ways. During our ATLs (Ask The Lord) times, God has been showing us how faithful he is, and confirming the words that he has been giving us.
Through doing these your students have begun to grow in Christ. I have seen God do as much or more work in transforming your students lives then anything. They have a burning passion an desire to seek God, which is something that really excites me.
On a milder note, we have been having fun here at the school too. The other night we enjoyed a pool party here at the school alone with some of the students. It was a great time together. The students got a little taste of home when we broke out the Oreos. You would have thought they turned into pigs, but I guess I can't exclude myself in that cause I joined in too.
Please be in for our next few days. The weather here has been off and on raining, and we would really like some sun shine. I thank you for your prayers, and please keep praying them. They are being heard. Praise be to God.
Blessings,
Richard
Thanks for keeping in touch. Love to you all.
I am so blessed to hear that God is so faithful when we seek first His kingdom.He is pleased when we take Joy in doing work for His kingdom. Praying and excited to see more of who Christ has made you all. I love you son. Keep doing your Fathers work well. HE DELIGHTS IN YOU.
Thanks so much for your update. I am confident the Lord will bless the Gospel seeds you are sowing. “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.”
Know that you all are wrapped in a blanket of prayer. With love to everyone from Keri’s parents.
Continuing to pray for the entire team and Nathan in particular. I miss you son. You all are being surrounded in prayer. The Lord is good!
we are praying for you all daily, the lord has even woke us up in the middle of the night to intercede for you all. continue the good work.
Anne and I continue to keep you all in prayer and will add sunshine to our intersesions. Stay open to the Spirit and to the blessings God has for you, to the Spirit’s working in your lives as well as in the lives of those you meet. Love to all and a special hug to Stephen. Mike & Anne
Hey Jamaica team! We are so excited to hear that awesome things are happening. It sounds like God is absolutely at work in everyone’s lives and doing great things. I just wanted to encourage you to continue to seek the Lord in these last few days you are there. Whether God leads you out of the compound or to stay, the absolute safest place to be is in the center of where he wants you. If it is going on the streets, then he will be there. If it is staying where you are, then stay there. The worst place to be is out of where he wants you! As I read the last post about ministry and discernment, my heart was overjoyed to see that you team members have leaders that are seeking wisdoom and understanding from the Lord. As I was thinking of the circumstances that have occured in Jamaica as far as civil unrest goes, the Lord brought to my mind Psalm 91. That entire Psalm sums up the entirety of what you need to be doing ~ seeking God and doing what he asks. “He will command His angels concerning you”. Of course the entire Psalm is so applicable to where you are and what you are doing, but be encouraged.
Great blessings and peace as you finish this race that God has for you on this trip!

Thanks for the update! I pray that the Lord will richly bless the time you have left in Jamaica. I pray that each one of you will live for the Lord with such committed purpose that nothing can interfere with your walk with the Lord. We are praying for you continuously and rejoice at seeing you soon.

It’s so uplifting to see how everyone is growing together and waiting on God’s word for direction!!!!
You all have hundreds of prayers in work daily for you and know that the Kingdom is being furthered by your bold and kind hearts.
Seek the Holy Spirit in all you do for your final days there and expect to see God’s hand.
Love, prayers and hugs. I’m doing fine. Mom
