Jamaica Mission Trip

Chad and I just returned from a 2 week long mission trip to Catadupa, Jamaica, with a team of 90 students! Needless to say it was an AMAZING time, where we saw God work in our own lives, the lives of students, and in and through the beautiful Jamaican people. We hosted vacation Bible school for kids, built LOTS of: porta potties, cement walled rooms/buildings, roads, and fixed homes. We got to hear the story of MANY locals...some that would break your heart because of the despair...and others who would bring you to tears because of their beautiful devotion to God. We came to give of ourselves...but I know we were the ones who gained the most. Words cannot express this trip...so here is a 3 minute video recap, one of our team members created...



Thank you for your prayers. And of course, a HUGE thank you to mom and dad Walker for watching Rylie and Jaden the entire time. We are still wondering how you got them to sleep in each morning...you are pros!!!!!! Your lives are such a display of extravagent love, support and generosity. We love you!!!
