On August 19th, while we were sitting in church, the southern coast of Jamaica was battered by Hurricane Dean. Shortly thereafter, the Virginia Baptists committed to providing supplies and work teams to repair the homes of folks who are now homeless. We are getting a group together to be one of those teams.
One week, between February and April, we want to take a group to Jamaica to repair homes and make relationships that, we hope, will turn into a long-term partnership between our church and Jamaican Baptists. My hope is that eventually we can partner with the Jamaicans to work in Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.
If you would be interested in swinging a hammer for a week and meeting some new folks from a different part of the world--and being a part of God's restorative and redemptive work in the world, please let me know. I'd love to work along side you.
