Wednesday (January 15)

I know that we are already back home, but I wanted to make sure we finished up our blog. The last couple days in Jamaica were hectic and filled with some great things.

Wednesday was another work day. Part of the team finished up the retaining wall to keep CCCD’s water storage clean, and the other part of the team worked on planting a field.

While the team was working on those projects, Mrs. Boucher and Bekah had devotional time with some of the staff at CCCD. This was a great time for everyone to discuss and reflect on how God’s grace has worked in their lives.

At chapel that evening, we had some powerful things happen. There were some distractions at first, including a giant moth flying around, but we prayed, gave it to God, and kept going.

We started out with the song “Alive” performed by Anna, Justin, and Bri. They did a great job!

Next, the team performed their skit. This was a powerful skit that shows that you can’t work, buy, or earn your way into Heaven. It was a skit that laid everything out very clearly, but it had a message that needed to be shared.

After the skit, Brian shared his testimony. The CCCD students were enthralled. People were crying and his story truly touched people.

Once he was finished, we asked if anyone would like to ask Jesus into their hearts. No one raised their hands, but we prayed and told them that the team would be hanging out in case anyone wanted to talk about becoming saved.

It took a few minutes, but then great things began to happen. Our team was dispersed throughout the CCCD students, having conversations with them. Through that time, two students decided to give their lives to Christ – Tyreke and Cavel. This was such an answer to prayer! I also know that seeds were planted in some other students that didn’t give their lives to Christ while we were there, but I believe that they have begun considering it. Please join us in praying that someone will reach them and that they will make the decision to live for Christ.
