First of all, we want to let you know that we have not had access to a computer.
The updates up to this point have been through phone messages back to the states.
This update is from Jamaica using a cell phone connected to a computer.
Thank you all for your prayers during our time here. We very much appreciate them and need them.
The Leadership Seminars in the evening have been going well. For the first three nights we have had around forty people in the sessions. It has provided some good opportunities for Jamaican pastors and lay leaders to have discussion and information regarding leadership in their churches.
The college, those attending the conference and the team have been pleased with the seminar sessions up to this point.
Tonight Rex and Mark teach.
Tomorrow Daryl and Adam teach.
We have also had some opportunities to share in schools. We have been in preschools (4 and 5 year olds), elementary schools and high schools. One of the guys had the opportunity to lead a girl, Kaycia, to the Lord. While we would love to see more fruit in these school, we know that we have been clearly presenting the Gospel and we know that God is faithful.
Please pray for the opportunities we have tomorrow at an elementary school and an orphanage.
Another blessing has been for the unity of the team during the week. Please pray that this would continue and that we would be able to finish strong.
We have also had the great privilege to connect with the students here at Fairview Baptist Bible College. There are some amazing men and women of God training for ministry here. Please pray for them.

Lighter notes:
- Ken wanted me to write that he is enjoying the food (actually I bet all of the guys would say that).
- Daryl is pretty much Jamaican at heart. By the way he is interacting and enjoying his time here you wouldn't even know that he is a Boston Red Sox fan who is missing the World Series. Praise God he has the right perspective on life, ministry and sports.
- Jerk chicken is VERY good.
------------
Once again thank you for your prayers.
One last prayer request.
Prayer for our trip back to the states on Sunday.
For safety and for opportunities. On the way a couple of the guys had opportunities to share the Gospel with people they were sitting next to on the plane.
