Church in Trench Town, Jamaica.

A group of 4 of us took a ride into Trench Town this morning for service which started at 10am. First we spoke about ourselves, where we're from, and our specific job on board. Then Tom and K.C. gave an evangelism presentation that required the participation of the congregation that showed the condition of missions today across the world. After they finished, I went up to speak about how God directed my steps into missions and attempted to encourage those who may be interested in spreading the Gospel in unreached areas. Lastly, Ashley preached on 2Tim 3:16. He really touched the hearts of those present while he made his emphatic point on the importance of scripture and it's divinity. After service, the church members met with us and fed us delicious homemade food including perfectly cooked ox tail, chicken, Jamaican rice, and plenty more. The pastor (picture above beside me) was such a humble and kind man. One of the younger men told me that Bob Marley was born just down the street.

Kingston, Jamaica Arrival

We made it to out second stop in Jamaica after an 18 hour journey over night and morning time. The last port in Montego Bay offered a lot of people excited to come aboard the ship. There were more school children on field trips than any other port: over 14,000 in just 3-4 weeks! When the children are here, they get to sit in the Hope Theatre and enjoy a play called "The Greatest Treasure", an excellent show for kids about God and His Word. Even though the number of visitors in Montego Bay was incredible, there are more expected to visit here in Kingston to buy books, attend events, evangelism training, ship tours, and most importantly, hear the Gospel...maybe for the first time ever. You can see that the port isn't the most beautiful; very much industrialized for coal mining but provides ample parking for all the visitors. The ship will be docked here for 5 weeks before heading to the Bahamas.

Montego Bay Church Of The Nazarene

Because of my busy work schedule, I was only on two church teams while at this port in Jamaica. This congregation was a lot bigger than the first one I spoke at a couple weeks ago, and the people were very sweet and hospitable to us. My presentation was on missions with a focus to encourage others by lighting a spark in the hearts of those interested in serving across the world.
