God's Grace is Sufficient!

Wow so the last three weeks were by far the busiest weeks of the DTS thus far. We had Thanksgiving, Go Broncos! It was a great dinner we had turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes rolls, just like a nice normal Thanksgiving meal except for the 85 degree weather, shorts, t-shirt, sandals oh yeah. It was real fun! But we definitely missed home. We did also go around and share some things that we were all thankful for which was awesome!!

As for the DTS, the school has been very good we had three different topics taught in the last three weeks; The Father/Family/Mother heart of God, Spiritual Warfare, and The King and His Kingdom wich included Discipling Nations and People Groups. The Speakers were great and the class really enjoyed them.

We are sadened to say that we did have a student go home that I(Josh) poured a lot of time into into. Please pray for him. He really struggled through the school and he just decided that enough was enough and he chose to try to run from his problems. So please pray for him, his name is Jordan. This was hard on everybody so pray for the other students and staff as well. We were all rooting for him!

We did a couple other things outside of the DTS. We had a pastors prayer breakfast which was totally awesome. We hosted about 30 different pastors from different parts of Jamaica and just shared our vision as YWAM Jamaica and internationally. We got to share our vision of St. Vincent and Mayreau being discipled as well, which was really cool. It was a lot of fun to be a part of small steps of uniting the church of Jamaica for Jesus! We also did quite a number of various different outreach's hear in Montego Bay. We did get to serve by doing some demolition for a christian deaf school and we also got to go to nearby church and give the service. We look forward to doingg another church service at another church this upcoming weekend. Its awesome!!

We also got to baptize one of our students on the DTS, Silvia Moser, a 27 year old from Switzerland. Renita has worked very closely with her being her small group leader and Silvia asked Renita if we would baptize her, so we got the honor and priveledge to be apart of that big decision in her life. Honestly it floored us to be apart of that. We will never forget it!

Outreach is also coming together for Kingston Jamaica and St. Vincent and Mayreau. Please continue to pray for the Lord to really pave the road for us as we go to minister. Outreach starts on the 28th of December. Sounds like we will be working with the schools in St. Vincent and Mayreau in Devotion times in the morning and also evening services at different churches and kids events. We have a couple contacts that we will be working with when we get there so we are super excited as a team! We will also be doing a lot of servant ministry like just cleaning streets offering our services to random people and hopefully having their hearts softened and doors will be opened in sharing the Love of jesus with people.

Praise: The Lord has asked one of the DTS Students -Shawn Milton- to help pioneer YWAM SVG with us. He is an awesome 24 year old Jamaican. Please be in prayer for him as he tries to raise finances. If anyone is interested in supporting him just e-mail me.

Woohoo! We are coming home in 7 days! We are really looking forward to spending Christmas with family and friends. We will be attending Weaverland Mennonites 1st service on the 20th and we will be speaking at ACTS Covenant Felloship's service the same day. We look forward to seeing a lot of you guys there!

Thanks again for all your prayers. Trust me Renita and I really feel like the last three weeks we have been carried because we know that we would not have been able to do all that we did with out His grace and your prayers.
