We had a great trip to Jamaica! Thank you for praying! This is a mostly visual update on the trip.
 |
| A major component of our trip was connecting our MK teens with the Jamaican teens. These girls attended several service opportunities with us and were great fun to be around. Some had not served people with disabilities before so their eyes were opened to people who are different from them. |
 |
| This is some of my team members and local people working on building a house. The family was so thankful for the work we did. The non-church-going husband of the family called this house his miracle house and his attitude has been very much changed by our service. Some of the teens pictured above helped out too! |
 |
| This is the entire group! It was great fun to hang out with them working on something very purposeful and necessary. |
 |
| We went to West Haven which is a home for people with disabilities. They have about 80 residents (children to adults) and only 10 staff. They work very hard! I really enjoyed being able to play with some of them and participate in lunch time. The teens who went with us were touched because they had not really ever been around people with disabilities. |

| We also held a 2-hour VBS for children in the neighborhood of a school that we painted. About 30 kids ages 3-15 showed up! The MK teens who had prepared stories to share did an awesome job! They were nervous about it, but they really did great and I was proud of them. My role in that was more of an organizer role, along with the principal and administrative assistant of the school. |
