Lydia,
I got your message. I've been on this website all day and I knew you arrived safely because I read Pastor Eran's post. I am so proud of you and Zach....Yes, I know, you heard it 100x's by now. I love you and miss you, tell Zach I love him and miss him too. How was the flight???? Thank God for Pastor Courtney. Just think, you are a pro now. You could use Dad's frequent flyer miles!!!!

Hi everyone! We are so glad that you have arrived safely and praise God for all of the little blessings along the way! (Thanks for sharing those stories, Court:) It shows us how personal and present our God is, involved in every little detail of this trip! And when you run into those things that look like obstacles, look hard for what God is doing behind the scenes and you will be amazed as you watch Him bring good out of every situation!

Trevor, you have no idea how proud we are of you! I am very emotional right now as I think of all that God has brought us through and where you are today. I know that God has been preparing you all of your life to be His instrument and even though there have been times of trial and pain, He has always been faithful to use it for your growth and for His glory. I know that this trip is another way for Him to show you His heart, and to mold you and shape you into the BOLD LION that He knows you can be. As you serve God this week by working hard and helping others there in Jamaica, I pray that something will happen in your heart that confirms what it's all about: SACRIFICE, LOVING OTHERS and GIVING to those in need. May a peace just wash over you as you pour out yourself for God and His glory. I pray the same for the whole team...IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS!<><
May His love fill your hearts to overflowing! <3

I cannot wait to see pictures and hear stories each and every day! I have sent the link to all of my family and friends so that they can follow along. We are so proud of you, Trevor and we love you very much!!!

Talk to you tomorrow,
Love Mom (Marlene)

Thank you so much for keeping us posted. We have been logging in and out just wanting to hear that you have made it safely. Thank God for His protection over all of our children. We love all of you. Melissa we are so happy to hear you have arrived safely. Your Lela has been calling and asking all day for any news. I think we should upgrade your grandparents to techno seniors. It's time for them to get a lap top. What do you think? :)

Love ya's

Hello to the Jamaica team and hope everyone has gotten some sleep. I know you are all doing a wonderful job. God will bless you as you bless others there in Jamaica and as you travel. I miss my precious daughter Alex Ash, a.k.a. Allea Rose Ash. I miss you girl! So does Rupert and the hamsters. I thought one was stuck in the tube-thingie on the cage but turns out he was just scared to death because I kept knocking on it and hollering for him to come out! Well, he was hanging upside down and looked kind of squashed in there SO I was worried and thought he was stuck and I might have to call 9-1-1:-) Anyway, I put the treats out inside the cage and suprise, suprise - he came out! Quite and experience and glad I didn't mess up my job of babysitting (or hamster sitting, if you will). Well, I'm sure you're having a much more exciting and meaningful time there in Jamaica than I am here in Reading! God Bless and Protect you, Allea-Pallie and the whole wonderful Jamaica team. Praying for all of you and the people you are serving. Love, Mommy a.k.a (Suzanne Miller).
