Transformed Lives!



After having been adivsed by the embassy in Jamaica, to "return to the US until things settle down" - violence had broken out over the island due to the US trying to extradite a Jamaican, "Dudus", aka: the world's most dangerous drug kingpin - & so it was very dangerous for Americans living on the island. We were out of the country for nearly 1 year to day, before we were able to return.
We felt 'all was well' & returned to Jamaica on June 2, 2011. Though a tropical depression hovered over the island the entire 2 weeks....we were still able to preach a crusade! The did great things! And we are very thankful for that!

Then, during Dec. 2-15, 2011, we returned again with a "Team USA Missions Group" - there were 12 of us in all: Evangelist Ron Jarman, Pastor Glen Mead, Evangelist Justin Sullivan, T.J. McLain, Derek Conway, Sissy Arnold, Rachel Craig, Rebekah Craig, Haylee Nance & The Torbert Trio. Words cannot convey all of the miracles that the Lord performed during that time!
We were able to hold a tent Crusade in Treasure Beach, Jamaica. 19 persons were truly Born Again! Miracle after miracle took place under that tent!
We were also able to go into school each day & hold a 'devotion crusade' with puppets. We then went to New Hope Children's orphanage & had a puppet show there & brought 4 luggages filled with food items. As soon as we opened one of the luggage, the director gasped....."BEANS!" She reached in right then, grabbed 2 bags of beans & carried them to the workers, to prepare for the children! The Lord DOES KNOW of our needs!
We also ran our Operation Give-A-Way, in Salmon Town. We fed that entire village-community, did a puppet crusade & then passed out gifts to children & adults!
Over all, we were able to give out some 500 gifts to chilren & adults! We give the Lord praise for this!! And A HUGE THANKS to all of those in the US who continues to help us....make our Operation Give-A-Way each year.....HAPPEN! We could not do it without you!!
We look forward, should the Lord tarry His coming, to going back in May 2012 & holding our School of Christ & also placing up a tent in Mandeville, holding another Crusade.....reaching souls for the Kingdom.....while there's still time!
