The team visited Seaview All Age School today. We continued the same format of performances as the previous schools attended. As a token of appreciation, the school provided the ladies of the team with a Jamaican wall plaque and a pen for the men. The school also provided each team member with a fruit cup.
That evening the team arrived at Bethel for Movie Night. We watched the movie, "Chronicles of Narnia." Popcorn was served as we watched the movie.
The men of our team: Earl Foster, Wayne Whittaker, and Phil Owen had a meeting with the local Jamaican leaders about starting a Men's Ministry at Bethel. The meeting was very productive.
This Short-Term Missionary Trip from First Baptist Church of Atlanta will be journeying to Southfield, Jamaica from May 30 - June 7, 2009. The team consists of eight members who will be providing dental services, youth activities, sign language, parenting classes, and tutorials to Bethel Gospel Chapel and local schools.
