With much anticipation we arrived in the all famous country of Jamaica,where Bob Marley and reggae was born,country of my childhood heroes like Asafa powell and Usain Bolt. "Ya Man, wagam?" are all to common to us now. Rhastas and weed everywhere you look. Everything I thought Jamaica would be came true.
We had the previledge of sharing the good news to locals on the basketball fields,singing songs to kids at school,even giving the homeless a close shave,feeding them,dressing them,cutting toe nails ect.
We soon found out that this beautiful country also has a dark history with great sorrow within the people to this day. Around every corner you can see the faces of the slavery heroes who led them through those times. Speaking to the locals you can still hear the hurt in their voices,the great injustice that they had to endure.
We also made a new friend, Ryan the Canadian shop owner. His giving heart and the way he just embrased our group is something that will always be with me. Be blessed.
In a country with a dark past, captive mindset and addiction from a young age only prayer and Gods mighty hand can set the captives free. God bless the beautiful country of Jamaica
