The month of May was both trying & rewarding. Rewarding, because of the many souls we were privileged to see come to Christ. May is Children’s Month on the island & many doors were opened unto us. We took 2 diffrent 'Team USA' Mission Groups & went into these open doors, sharing the Gospel through means of puppets, skits & preaching. Children & adults in schools, orphanages, children's homes, village-communities, churches & those on the streets will 'never be the same again'! We trust the Lord for His saving, working power, to continue this great work HE has begun!
May was also very trying, in the event, that due to the extradition of “the world’s most dangerous drug & weapons kingpin” (by the US DEA & DOJ), Americans were highly advised by the US Embassy in Jamaica, to return to the US for safety reasons, as the Prime Minister called for a State of Emergency. He noted that it seemed Jamaica was facing its own ”Urban Guerilla Warfare”. We were praying & knew that many from the US were praying for our safety as well.
The Jamaican Gleaner headlines read: “Dudus - The Man Who Holds A Nation Hostage” & as things ‘heated up’ it quickly became ever clear to us, how we were very much in danger, for our lives. As murders & shooting came ‘close to home’ & then with gang members trying to ram our own vehicle, we took the Embassy’s advise & returned to the US on May 29th. Our missions in "Reaching Jamaica 4 Jesus" will continue, only, from the US borders.
Please continue to pray for our native pastor’s & friends who are still facing this violent crisis! Please remember all of our missionaries & their children who are continually in harms way!
