Yesterday we had a change of pace. We were privileged to spend the day with the Jamaican staff of Won By One To Jamaica (see picture above). We gathered for several hours where we introduced ourselves to the Jamaican staff, had a meeting about expectations for the summer, and shared a wonderfully prepared Jamaican lunch. Through a gospel presentation by Henry Shaffer (Founder and President of Won By One To Jamaica), the Jamaican workers were able to see and hear what this organization is all about. It was truly a great day and being able to spend time with our Jamaican friends really made each of us more excited about swinging things into full gear.
We eagerly await our first group, Olathe Bible Church. They arrive on Monday, June 4th, just two days from now. We all know that in two days, life will change dramatically. We will pick up the pace and get this summer started. We will be able to see transformation taking place in the lives and hearts of both Jamaicans and Americans. We will see the community of Harmons as they gather around to engage with the Americans who come to serve. We will see houses being built, marl being carried, new clothes being worn, and needs being met. We will see how just one conversation can cultivate a lifelong relationship. We will see the huge change that can take place in just one week of service, selflessness, and love. But most importantly, we will begin to see a tiny glimpse of what God is doing in Harmons...
In Christ Alone,
Lacy
