Friday, May 2, 2008, 5:44 p.m. Jamaica time (Montego Bay, Jamaica) – It’s time. We’re at Dump Up Beach in downtwn Montego Bay. The stage is set, literally. The event Miles Ahead has been working toward for months is here; the Jamaica Crusade is ready to launch.
Miles McPherson just taped his daily video blog overlooking the Dump Up Beach park in front of the stage. Thousands of families are there, enjoying an extreme bike demonstration, jump stations, juggling, face painting — all sorts of fun things.
This morning a heavy rain prompted us to pray that God would bless the festival with clear skies. Now? Let me tell you how beautiful it is here right now. The sun is low in a luminescent blue sky. Sunlight is sparkling over the bay’s crystal water — water that laps right up to the boulders rimming the park. Seriously, the festival is right on the water. A gentle sea breeze is nudging away the humidity. Did I say it was beautiful? God clearly answered our prayer for the right weather. Stay tuned! (We’ll be blogging throughout the evening…)
