Volunteering in Jamaica

What comes to mind when you think of Jamaica? White sandy beaches? The blues and greens of the Caribbean Sea?
Yes, that's part of Jamaica. But not the part where we were... in the beautiful Blue Mountains!

A group of student volunteers from Florida and Arkansas spent their Spring Break in Jamaica during the Cricket World Cup. You're probably thinking... sure, Spring Break in Jamaica... vacationing at the resorts and hanging out at the beaches. But that's far from the truth! This group of volunteer missionaries spent their time passing out evangelistic tracts and free bottles of water, spending time at an inner-city preschool and a high school in the mountains, talking and praying with anyone who was willing, worshiping with local believers, and most importantly... sharing the Gospel!

Please pray for the Jamaican Baptist Union as they continue to minister to their fellow neighbors and countrymen. And may the name of Jesus Christ be glorified through their lives and testimonies!
