Just before Christmas I had an invitation to take a small team over to Jamaica in March 2011. The invite comes from the Operations Manager of the Luis Palau Organisation and Luis Palau's son Andrew, both of whom I met in Inverness 2008. At first I just thought 'no chance' and sent an email back saying sorry cannot manage this one, but after some reflection I realised that perhaps I had been too hasty to say 'no chance'.
The Christian life is meant to be about giving to the poor and 'going out' to tell about the good news. Most churches that I know give fairly generously to the work of various organisations involved in such ministries but few churches get involved directly. Those churches that do get involved directly seem to benefit dramatically from an increased energy and confidence that is hard to gain by local work alone.
For this reason I would like us to seriously consider sending a small team out from each church to Kingston in March. I have attached some links to information pages that you can take a look at. If you would like to go or if you would like to offer some sponsorship then please let me know asap.
