We had a little trouble getting pictures loaded on our last blog. The picture we are posting now go with Lee's last update yesterday. We can't believe we are leaving tomorrow. Two weeks went fast, but a lot has happened. Tonight is our last night at the base and we will be leading a church service on the base. Every Wednesday the base has "Community night," and we will be doing the worship and teaching for it. We also will be sharing some of our testimonies from the trip. Please pray that our team can be a blessing to the YWAM staff and other teams staying here. God has taught us a lot on this trip! Thanks for your continual prayers!

It's been a joy waking up early each morning and having devotions as a team. It's easier to get up early when you look out your window and see a beautiful sunrises like this.

Our team led Monday morning devotions at the public school near the YWAM base. Amanda, Taylor, and Lee led them in some fun songs, and then Jake shared the Word with them. There were so many kids in a small school building. It was a joy to share briefly with them.

Granville School of Safety: Maggie, Lucy, and Taryn shared in front of all the girls. They did a great job. We also had worship with all the girls. Some have come our of horrible situations, and have had really hard lives. It was awesome watching our team interact with the girls and just love on them. We were able to pray for a lot of them, as well as, just sit and listen to them. We also talked to the director. There are so many women there in the small facility. Their government helps fund it, but they are pretty overwhelmed at the school.

Anna and Taylor pray for a young girl at Granville School of Safety.

Our visit to "West Haven" was a special day for all of us. The kids were very sweet. It was definitely stretching and out of our comfort zones, but they loved playing with us and they had a lot of joy. We also were able to pray for some of them. We helped feed them, and played games with them for a bit as well. A few of them loved cricket, so we bounced the ball towards them and they would swing as hard as they could. It was an honor to get to serve there.

Our last work day on the YWAM base (Maggie, Christy, and Kendra). We raked lots of leaves and dug out several drainage canals that were clogged from heavy rain storms. It was hot today, but turned into a tropical rainstorm by afternoon!

We've spent lots of time in a bus together. Usually making up songs as we travel!

Our rest day at the beach in Negril, Jamaica.

Lucy and Brandon take a turn jumping off the cliff. The cliffs were on a very beautiful setting.

Jake's all smiles after jumping off the highest point (35 ft). The local guys would climb up a platform above the cliff and jump off (over 75 ft high).

Dinner at Scotchies; Jamaican style. We had a lot of fun on our day off.

Sitting on the left with out team is Nick & Ashley with there two children Judah & Moleeq. Nick has been our host at the YWAM base and the one that led the Homes of Hope project. Our team has enjoyed becoming part of their family. We decided as a team one night to send them out for a special date-night while we watched their boys. They were really blessed and had a wonderful dinner together.

The YWAM staff has been converted to BEAVER fans!!!! GO BEAVS!
