The organization in Jamaica we're partnering with, Life in Abundance, wants to focus on the teenagers. Not the children, not the babies, but specifically the teenagers. Don't misunderstand me, I LOVE children, but I am excited to focus on the teenagers! These teenagers are the future. They will soon be teachers, leaders, pastors, and doctors of the country and I am excited to pour into them.
The people in Wait-a-Bit speak English {Hallelujah!}, which means I won't have to rely on a translator or my broken Spanish! Without a language barrier, I think our conversations are going to be incredible.
Our primary focus, although we will have a few other projects, will be relationships: building them and teaching about healthy relationships. God created us to be relational people. We were created to have close relationships with others, and an intimate relationship with Him. Without relationships, there would be no ministry of any kind. The relationships are what I am most looking forward to on this trip!
Before I can go to Jamaica in July though, I would like for you to consider partnering with me and my team.
First, in prayer. Please pray that the leaders and the youth we meet in Jamaica will be receptive to us and what we're teaching. Pray that God works through us in powerful ways. Please pray for the members of our team, that we are reliant on His presence and guidance, not our own.
Second, in financial support. My trip costs about $1,900.00, which will cover airfare and travel in Jamaica, lodging, and materials (for construction and teaching). I greatly appreciate all donations, big and small! All of the donations are tax deductible and you may donate online here: https://globalx.
Thank you so much for your prayers and donations. I cannot wait to tell you all what God does in Jamaica while we're there!
