Here is a brief update, I'm sorry to say that we have VERY limited access to internet in "Ochie", so I will not be able to post much from here, if at all for the rest of the week. I believe we'll be back in Montego Bay on Tuesday Night, so it may be until then before you hear from me...I will try to get into this office once or twice, but unfortunately, I can't guarantee anything, and uploading any pics from here is really out of the question as I'm not on my laptop...I'm very sorry :(

We are doing great though, and God is working. We've done a couple of evening street shows, including last night where we partnered with a local church. Basically think old time "Tent Revival Meeting" without the tent! They had some singers, and some testimonies, and then a pastor that brought Hellfire and Brimstone, and the Gospel was shared. We intermixed our programs and the response to the dramas we did was amazing. Their pastor intermixed the truth from the dramas, and there were at least 20 people who gave their lives to Christ! So far, Kara, Kris, Kiegan, Rusty, Jenn and Haley have shared their testimonies, and all are doing great.

We visited an infirmary yesterday, and met with many men who were blinded, crippled, or worse. We had the chance to pray with and for a lot of them.

For some of the team here in Ochie, we are blessed to have the opportunity to sleep in small villas that have no Air Conditioning, and a rooster that begins his (and our) day at 5:00am! YAY!! (sarcasm implied!)

The food has been exceptional, and no one is going hungry! Mostly american type of foods, no goat yet! :)

We are off now to do a VBS type of program, which means extra puppet songs...

I have to go...I will try to get back on, but no promises until Tuesday...keep praying for health, good attitudes, and patience with each other! As their leader, I covet those specific prayers in abundance!

I'm getting yelled at to get on the bus...

doing HIS Work,

Troy
