The Lord moves in amazing ways, and the enemy is tricky when you are out on the street. Meeting and sharing with the people of Jamaica has been extremely exciting. When sharing on the streets, I’ve experienced spiritual battles that I’ve never experienced before. It creates emotional highs and emotional lows, but through it all its a total blessing.
First thing when we arrived on the street Monday morning, we took off down the street in teams to pass out fliers to the events. The people here are spectacular. Everyone here loves to share their culture, and they are very proud of their culture. Right off the bat, a very aggressive Rastafarian was explaining to me HIS beliefs. One day maybe we’ll talk again, but in the end, I told him the Jesus I know and love is not the one he is describing! Later that morning, we found a little girl who was absolutely gorgeous. We were able to take pictures and attempt to give her toys. One of the women in our group talked with her mom and the conversation ended with Lynn praying with the woman (Suzie) giving her life to Christ!
Our second trip out Monday afternoon, was amazing! People were getting off of work, and obviously more relaxed. A young lady named Dominique stopped by and shared with us her excitement with the event here and in Kingston where her family lives. She’s a college student, and she’s planning on attending the Firday event because “That is the night with the best music”.
All in all, there are emotional highs and lows, but in the end it was fantastic to do the Lord’s work! We’re here for Him, but he’s working on me as well!
