Amazing Grace !!

Hi everyone, Jacinthe here to update you on what we did yesterday, but before I get to that I had to finish off telling you about the rest of our day on Sunday. Our Sunday night was beautiful and inspiring. After the morning church service with Dr.Sharp, we went swimming at the beautiful beach, but a BIG rain fall quickly cut our time short, it was raining cats and dogs. When we headed back and went to church again at night, it was the most powerful time for me so far that I could feel the Gospel so much and Gods Spirit, that I had a natural smile coming out and an aura of joy floating around us! John even said at the end of the night that it was the first time that he really got connected with the Jamaicans' through our common faith. We have the same God and are one family in the Lord. He wasn't the only one, we all got so into it that on our way back to Auntie Dalleys we were all praising the Lord together on the bus. First, before others arrived Dr. Sharp shared with us the story of the church, and all the amazing things God has done to lead him to the place where Westgate is at right now, and we were briefed on our schedule over the week. After that was when the people started to show up and we sang song with the Jamaicans who have so much talent putting emotions into worship. After the songs, we listened to the testimonies of some of the Jamaican brothers and sisters present and after that some of us felt at ease, and some of us shared what God has been doing in us. It was an incredible emotional night of having true believers being with believers, just having a time enjoying themselves giving glory to the Lord. Even though they were Jamaican and we are Canadian we are still all one family in the Lord as we follow Him and that united us all together. Just to show how God can bring people of any nation together. All the walls fell down that night, surrounded by the Spirit.

The day after (a summary of our day yesterday), it was less emotional, and more physical. We did constructions from 8 to 3 under the powerful sun and got a lot of work done as a team. I have to congratulate everybody for their hard work because they all did a really great job. I can't wait to put up some before and after pictures to show you all the wonderful work that was accomplished. It was surprising and amazing (so cool) to see us all lined up as a chain at one point. All morning and afternoon long, it was so neat to see everyone working together, with such energy and passion for the good of others.

The word that always comes in my mind about this missions trip to explain things is that EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!
The whole experience to me so far has been amazing.

Thank you for your prayers... Keep it up!

see ya,
Jacinthe
