The Kids have arrived!

The last two weeks in St. Croix have been pretty full and amazing running "Jericho Kids" which is a VBS for about 45 kids ages 5-12. It was a blast. Most of the kids who came live in the project areas of St. Croix. It is truly a blessing for Renita and I to be here in St. Croix at this time. Also, just yesterday, Sunday the 19th, We started "Kings Kids!" There is a team of 58 people from Puerto Rico and some of them were the founders of Kings Kids 20 years ago. There are 21 kids here from the island being students in the camp. The camp is two weeks long and they stay overnight here the whole time. The Camp is filled with Jesus, they do work duties daily, they have 2 hours of teaching a day from teachers who just are pouring out their hearts for these kids, they have dance and drama or sports ministry tiem everyday. The heart of Kings Kids is to not ever underestimate the children or teenagers. There are staff here with the team who have been in Kings Kids since they were 8 and are now having their own families and living a life after God. Some of the staff on the Puerto Rican team a just 8 years old. Last night was the introduction to Kings Kids and it blew Renita and I away. Kings Kids is saturated with God. The team coming from Puerto Rico and their hearts... is something to be admired! They are so excited even though this will be there 7th week straight of Kings Kids. I pray that Renita and I will be able to catch whatever this team has and live it out daily.
During the next two weeks our job is to watch and learn. The Heart of the Puerto Rican team is to model the camp for us so we can model it elsewhere. We are so excited for this next two weeks so please pray for us as we are surrounded by teachers who are even 10 years younger than us we want to feel God's heart beating excitedly within in them and have beat even stronger than it already is in our own hearts.
Our plan is still to go to Jamaica after the two weeks of Kings Kids. We will be staff on a 5 month long Disscipleship Training School. We are still in need of Work Permits to be released from the Jamaican Consulate so pray that these permits come asap. We refuse to let the enemy work in our lives.
And we just want to say thank you again for all the support that you all have given to us through prayer, finances and friendship. We are truly being blessed greatly here and pray that you all will reap the benefits as well! Blessings!
