Today was our last day at the work site, with CBS and at Blossom Garden Orphanage. We finished up work on the foundation we started earlier this week, dug a trench to lay a gas line, and started work on widening a sidewalk going in to the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf to name a few projects. A small group of us made a trip over to the orphanage to love on some babies, toddlers and school age children. It is amazing to see a smile on a child's face as a result of simply a touch. CBS went well and many of the children were sad we were heading home tomorrow but we left them with the hope that they are not alone because Jesus is in fact with them :-)
Tomorrow is a down-time kind of day. We will be heading to the straw market in the morning, then making a trip over to the beach for an afternoon of ocean trampolines, snorkeling and just plain old sifting through the sand for sea shells. We are so excited for this opportunity to process our experiences, yet a little sad to be leaving such an amazing place.
We have learned a lot here as a group. The most important thing we learned is that the mission field does not stop here. We are called to bring the love of Christ to others every where we go and that is what we intend to do. We are forever changed!
Enjoy the photos and God Bless!
Love the AMPed Missions Team

What an amazing update! I can't wait to hear all the stories! Thank you team for being the hands, feet, and mouthpieces of Jesus Christ! You have no idea the celebration taking place in Heaven because remember what Jesus said, "From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise" (Matt. 21:16 Jesus referencing Psalm 8:2) and "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (Mark 10:14).
May God's voice speak to you today thru the sea, the breeze, your teammates, the people you will interact with and all that is in between.
Get home safely tomorrow!!!
