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.
