The sunrise in Jamaica is gorgeous. It’s interesting to watch Jamaican culture unfold at the crack of dawn as fisherman head out to sea and tourists head out to scuba dive.
We woke up early, headed to the dock, and boarded a boat that took us out to a reef to snorkel. After [...]

After eating another delicious breakfast, we headed into the town of Ocho Rios where we explored the local market. Upon entering the market, we were thrust into the exhilarating [...]

I had two amazing experiences today. The first was when I saw Jenny Velker praying with Ms. Iris, a blind woman in a wheelchair. Ms. Iris praised the Lord in a loud voice when she learned Jenny was a fellow Pentecostal. The two prayed for each other while sitting on [...]

We got up, explored the beach and ate a huge breakfast: pancakes, plantains, toast (like texas toast), scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. Yum!
We loaded the bus for church at 9 a.m. The service at St. Ann’s Bay Baptist Church was 3 hours long, but it didn’t feel like it. A [...]

We met at Tim Horton’s house in Saline at 4:45 a.m. We traveled to the airport and after a short flight to St. Paul, we ran to catch our four hour flight to Montego Bay, Jamaica!
Woooow!
Isle Go and SCORE staff picked us up at 4:30 p.m in Montego Bay. Somehow we [...]
