Kyle's missions to Jamaica 08'

On July 6th through the 13th me and my youth group went down to Jamaica for a missions trip. Everyday, Monday through Friday, we ran two VBS at two separate churches, one in the morning the other in the afternoon. Hundreds of Jamaican kids and teenagers came to participate. We were split up into four different color groups. We ran the VBS on a rotation schedule; about every 20 mins or so we'd switch to the next activity. Such as crafts, games, story, or watching Veggie Tales. It's so surprising how easily those kids were willing to accept and love you even though your different. We also had an opportunity to visit an orphanage and an infirmary. Both of these places are filled with people who aren't shown love and it was a complete joy that we could do just that. Whether it was playing a card game at the orphanage or helping serve bread and tea at the infirmary, the people just loved having us there. This was an amazing experience for me, I loved every moment of it. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to go next year. Kyle
