Yesterday I drove to Montego Bay in the truck with all of the luggage for the last work team here at the village this year... Should have gotten a picture:) Amazing what a tarp and a lot of rope will hold in!! Spend the day in Mobay and got to hang out with 2 teachers from the Mobay school for dinner and the evening as they showed me around and gave me a dose of Jamaican culture. Slowly but surely, I'm learning Patwa!
There is a big group here at the Village now for a camp... 75 boys from the inner city of Kingston and 23 men watching them. They managed to break more than 8 glass window panes so far fighting:( This afternoon one of the boys got news from Kingston that 2 of his buddies were shot. Details are still sketchy other than the boys are ~14 years old. Praying that they both live. One of the leaders told me that this is a very common thing these guys live with. Makes me thankful for growing up in the cornfields of IL. I am thankful that these boys, many of whom have never been to church, are able to get out here in the middle of the mountains and here about the love of Jesus Christ through this camp!!!
On a more selfish note... I gave a tour of the factory to 5 of the men that are helping lead this group this afternoon... One is a lawyer and the other is a manager of the biggest security company in Kingston. They are very excited about what we are doing and think that the churches/church members they represent in Kingston need to be buying their furnature from a Christian organization! They are going back to spread the word as well as offering to help me with locating anything in Kingston that I need for supplies!! Praise the Lord for that!!
