Update 3.21



This last week we had 2 college teams join the CSI JAMAICA family. The University of Akron and Huntington University.

Huntington University began construction on a restroom facility at the Basic/Primary School in Richmond. (They were the third team to work on a construction project for the school.) The University of Akron started construction of a computer lab/library at the Pringle Home for Children, as well as started the clearing of the bush on our new property in order to make way for the development of the CSI Jamaican Agriculture and Education Sustianability Project.


Thank you Huntington and Akron for a wonderful week of service and ministry!

This week we have no team, but we do have a group from our Muncie office coming to see what's happening with CSI JAMAICA. Plus, they are bringing some goodies for me from home! It's like Christmas in March!!

Next Saturday we have a youth team from Georgianna UMC in FL coming down, so please pray for them as they prepare over the next week to come serve our Lord on the mission field.

Everyone have a great week. Allow God to bless you, and make you a blessing.

UPDATE

Over the last few weeks I have received some good response to my "Urgent Need". Some of my regular supporters have increased their giving, I have had a few new supporters come on board, and I have received both small and sizable one-time gifts. Last week a printed version of my need was mailed out and has already hit mailboxes. I look forward to seeing what the response will be.

Thank you to the Dover Christian Church youth group for hosting a fundraiser bake sale for me on Sunday, March 7. What a blessing it is to have a home church with such great youth!!

This coming Saturday (13th) we have 2 teams coming in. One team of 12 is from Huntington College. And one team of 25 is from the University of Akron. Please be in prayer for their safe travel and for a great week of serving God in Jamaica. Both teams are doing construction projects and will be helping to clear the bush on our new property as we prepare to start development.

On Tuesday, March 23rd, we have a group of CSI administration and board members coming to spend a few days checking out what's going on with CSI JAMAICA. We also are praying that Marggy Hensley and Aaron and Melissa Black and children will be joining us as new staff on the 23rd. Please pray that their paperwork is ready on time... And that God's best is done.

The following Saturday (27th) we have a youth team from Georgianna UMC coming. Georgianna is the church that hosted our CSI Staff Retreat back in November and the home church for 2 of our CSI family members.

That's enough for now. Thank you all for continuing to pray for what God is doing here in Jamaica.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God can not do!
