Sorry we weren’t able to blog yesterday (Wednesday). Here in Jamaica, the internet is not a “for sure” thing. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
To catch you up, yesterday was a great day, not without its challenges, but great overall. Aric has been invited to teach in chapel each morning. The focus of his message has been Joshua, about how the students can be good leaders and how they CAN have a successful life. Joshua 1:7 says “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to follow all the laws my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.”
Work continued on the various construction projects we began on Monday. The screened in porch is almost finished, the inside of the students chapel is almost completely painted, more ballisters have been poured, and one room of the clinic has been completely splattered (their answer to drywall). When it came time for VBS to begin, we had to herd the students, like cattle. Resistant at first, they were all very engaged in each activity that took place.
Today was our day to rest. We had a grand adventure at YS Falls, swimming, diving, and zip-lining our hearts out. After the falls, we enjoyed Jamaica’s version of pizza on the beach. It was surprisingly similar to American pizza – quite delicious.
Please pray for our team tomorrow, as we are presenting the gospel story to the students during VBS. Some of the students will be out on a field trip, so please pray that the students who really need to hear the gospel will be present.
It is hard to believe that we only have one more full day here at CCCD. When the week began, Saturday seemed so far away, but now it is upon us. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” May God bless our last full day with the students and staff. May His name be praised in everything we do.
