11:)) P.M.

Wow what a day. Ok so this was the day that we had the most schools with little time to get to and from each school and we didn’t know what to expect. We arrived at Herbert Morrison School. We waited around for a contact person. After about 10 minutes a man came, introduced himself and then went away. When he came back he told us that we could not speak. He said, “we have trouble.” Apparently we needed to be wearing long pants and dresses. So, the first school we were sent away…but God is so good because we were still able to stand out front and speak with the kids one-on-one. That was a huge blessing and gave us the opportunity to get our feet wet.

The next school we arrived at I decided that I would pass out the 50 pounds of candy that I brought with me. Big mistake. The kids swarmed me yelling, “Miss, Miss, please give me sweetie.” It was like 100’s of kids yelling and grabbing candy from me. In the meantime, the teachers had sticks and were hitting the kids, yelling at them to go to devotions. It was a mess. But Pastor Ricky and his team spoke and sang worship. It was wonderful.

The next stop was an orphanage for special needs kids. It was amazing. Keep in mind that we are on the school assembly team, so when we were expecting schools, and high schools at that. I walked out of the bus to a boy jumping on the bus, hugging and kissing me He kissed the camera, he kissed our hands, he kissed everyone he came in contact with! That was the start of an amazing time. The team sang, danced and loved these kids. What was so amazing is that we were loved up by them!

The next place was a place called Copes. It was a place for boys who are in trouble, abused or abandoned. It was awesome for me especially, because this place was like Polinsky Children’s Center which is San Diego’s shelter for abused and abandoned kids. At home, this is the population I work with! I got to do in Jamaica what I do at home!! I gave my testimony. First time to kids I tried to have another person do it but God wanted me so I went. He went ahead and prepared that place for me to speak. After I spoke, the rest of the team was able to interact with the boys. So many stories of abuse, neglect and crime. So many boys who have raped, beaten, stole, and done drugs. So many stories of boys who were abused themselves, or abandoned by their mother and fathers.

Even more stories of boys who now love Jesus. So many who have turned their lives away from the world and to God. They still have no family, but they showed us that they have hope in Christ. It was an amazing day. The kids were so wonderful and happy to have people to talk with them. God showed up today in a mighty way.

Thank you for your time. God Bless.
