Tuesday - mercy & Bible study - Salem Baptist Church in Jamaica - July 17, 2010

by christopher | July 20, 2010 4:18 PM

This morning started similar to yesterday morning. After our trip up to Belmont we had the chance to lead the community kids to Bible stories and songs as part of VBS. With a few more kids then yesterday we excitedly shared and led songs for the day. After an amazing lunch in the community provided by our local cooks we had the opportunity to work as an intercessory for God's blessings to rain on the community of Belmont and the people living here. Through our prayer walking we prayed for the church and their ministries, for homes and families, and for schools as we passed by. There is nothing that God's hands can not impact if we ask Him. After prayer walking we traveled a little ways by bus to the Westhaven Children's Home. Westhaven is an orphanage for children with mental disabilities and Down Syndrome. Even if we were a little nervous when we arrived the children easily put us all at ease as they greeted us with hugs, smiles, and open hands. We spent time playing ball, cricket, dancing and sharing Christ's love with them even though we were unable to use many words. The evening started with a Bible Study lef by Brody. He challenged the team with an engaging study. The evening ended with dinner at a local favorite, Jerky's. There is not much better than ending the day with some jerk chicken and festivals. Wonder what a festival is? Ask one of the team members and they will tell you.
