Monday and relationships - Salem Baptist Church in Jamaica - July 17, 2010

by Christopher | July 19, 2010 8:44 PM

Monday was our first full day of ministry not connected to a day of worship. We woke up this morning excited about the possibilities that the Lord has placed before us. We returned to Belmont to spend the day with our friends from the community. The morning started with VBS at Belmont Baptist Church. Even though the program was slated to begin at 9:00 a.m., we have to remember that we are on "Jamaica time." The kids from the community were just starting to trickle in at the official start time and we have a chance to play some small games with them. As the morning progressed, more and more kids arrived. By the time VBS ended at noon, there was a good and exciting group on hand hearing the message of Christ. The afternoon was scheduled for sports ministry, but just before we were going to begin the skies opened up and the rains poured onto the land. That however, did not prevent some of the team to enjoy playing in the rain and sliding across the field. The local Jamaican kids enjoyed watching us get muddy and soaked from the safe and dry location under the roof of the church. We spent the remainder of the afternoon doing some home visits to local shut-ins in the community. Several of the team visited a woman who could not walk, but "scooted" across the floor of her home. Others visited a blind man, who received the life-saving message of Jesus Christ for the 1st time. With all the kids and adults we had the chance to build relationships with, we came home back to the hotel tired and exhausted from the day. We can't wait to see who we will have the chance to interact with tomorrow.
