Dear Friends In Christ,

News about

January

Jamaica Christian Boys H

P.O. Box 5,Ha

If

Way T

Jama

ica,

The Bakery truck didn t

come

today so Jim decided to

make some

muffins

the boys' breakfast. I

wish

you

could see the kitchen

Every

bowl

and

sil

is out and

flour

is everywhere. But I must admit

there

is a nice a

floating into

the office

at

this midnight hour.

We

have

some

exciting

news this

month - oh

there is

so much to

tell

in

one l i t t le let ter . First

of

all let

me

say

that

we

know there

has been

adverse news in the

U.S.

about Jamaica.

Much

of it is exaggerated, som

However, at this moment, although we have had some tense times, we are

going to panic and leave.

We

are definitely putting double efforts int

strengthening

the

church. And th is is

our

news.

The little village of James

Mt,

just at the foot of our Sun Mt

Camp

hil

has

long been in

need

of a church. ow at last we

have

found a piece o

land that

we

can

buy

for ^000.00.

The

people are about to build a

muc

needed school for themselves, having

had

a piece of land donated for the

purpose._

They have

asked us to help

them.

V e jumped

at

the chance to

this believing that If we assist

them

in having a school we will gain t

goodwill and should find

establishing

a church there

much

easier.

So

off to

work we went. So

far

we have gotten

the

promise

of sand

and

paint, and transportation. And best of all, tentatively a gift

from

U.

A.I. D We were really excited when we came out of the Embassy today.

In

the

meantime, Jim

has

doubled

efforts at Meadovybrook

and

last

Sunday

saw all chairs

filled. We

have baptized three adults so far this year.

Sunday

School

has increased

20

and

one

new

class

was

added.

One

of our

whom we

have

been teaching

for two years now is ready to take the minis

at James Mt with our guidance. The church at Broadleaf Is growing

ordained-about a

year ago,

for the

there.

W e

a little problem here at Home Each house in

Kingston

provides

own sewage

by digging

a pit. The water drains down into the earth.

Bu

fill up after some

ten

years. And

it s

trouble

when they fill. Like

ri

now In

our yard Well, we

had

it hauled away by tanker and the pit

wash

and cleaned.

But

the bill will

be about 300.00

added to

an

already str

budget. Gasoline is now 2.20 per gallon.

Ue

got our

financial report last night.

Thank

you

so

very

much

for

your

loving support for January. It s so encouraging. We

sorely

miss going

the P.O. to get your letters one by one

but

it is

much

safer this way.

Please help us

with

our

new

challenge at James

Mt

Pray with us that ev

penny of this ^i000.00 will

come.

God is able. Let us press forward w

th e door is open. We need you

now

more

than

ever.

^ ' May - June 1977

Dear Faiiily - our

beautiful

family of friends.

Oh,

there was joy

unspeakable

in my heart as the plane wheels rolled to a stop at

ou

airstrip in Jamaica

God

had granted us a safe

and

wonderful trip

and

prayed

and

sang our prayer of thanksgiving. Jim met me

at

the

Customs gate

and kissed

me three

times before we reached the car...he looked really qlad to have me back. So our re

joicing

was

mutual.

HO^ to begin to say thank you is our big problem. On the wharf is a

new

Ford pick-up

truck provided

by

all of you wh o helped so wonderfully with our expenses. We still h

to raise

funds

to

pay

the

duty on it,

so please

pray

with

us

over this.

And we

al l

j

in saying thanks for the truck as

it has

k wheel drive for those heavy trips to Sun M

and should

give

us a big l i f t In the work.

THANK

YOU . . .for the love and

interest shown

us all along the way...for the showers o

food Items (nearly 100 pounds of peanut butter ) for the

warm

hospitality, meals,

fun

trips to Disney, Sea World, etc,..for receptions and dinners in our honor, for

new

sh

and clothes for all the family.. .a roto-tlller for the

Sun

Mt farm...a new typewritte

for slipping

away

with our car to fill it with gasolIne...for many other

gifts. And

but not least for so patiently listening to our story of God s wonderful answer to pr

in this work. M ay the Lord bless you for each and every gift of love. Our

hearts

ov

flow But our only regret is

that we

could not have seen

all

of you.

AT

HOME Jim and Grandma had a busy time with an epidemic of Dengue Fever that visited

Dorm

as well as

most

of Kingston. Grandma

was

up many nights rubbing

down

high fever

She took a

turn at

being

i l l

too, but the family as a whole

are

on

the

mend.

THL NEW BALL

at Sun M t Is ccmplete. This Is one of the most outstanding answe

prayer

that

we have had yet.. .we

l i terally

moved mountains and th e result Is as nea

miracle as one could get. Then, the girls dormitory Is almost complete.

JULY

promises excitement. A working group of some 28 people plan

to come from Browns

Indiana where Elvin and BEtty Gray

minister.

They

plan to paint our new buildings an

build

a fireplace on Embassy Hall.

Isn t

that exciting?

Dear

Friends

What an excit ing month

— JVhout

July

1977 a t the

JomcUjcxiJklhAX&Jxa^^ ifow

c V

Sun Mountain Grand Opening was

just

ahead. July 25th to be exact. And there

was far too much work to

be

done.

So

Brownstown Christian Church in Indiana

(Elvin

and

Betty Gray the coordinators) came

to

the rescue. Yes, Zk strong, in

cluding

two

Floridians.

h

how

they

worked...mixing

cement,

painting

decoratin

the walls and building a lovely fireplace In Embassy Hall. They started on

Tues

day at day break and by Saturday the job was over.

That was the crowning day. The Jamaica Defence Force sent out the 1st Batalllon

Band

in

brilliant

red coats with gold trim. Yes

26

musicians

and their

music

was

magnificent.

And

there

were

prominent speakers and a huge anniversary

cake

for

twenty

wonderful years of camping with the Jamaica Christian Boys' Home

Looking back to our

trip

to the U.S. brings to

mind

some of the wonderful answer

to prayer. A beautiful

new

stove gift

from

1st Christian Church

In

Largo en

hances our camp kitchen; the

boys

of our Home are In shining new armour ..from

new

shoes to pants and shirts- a

head

to

foot

outfit all from the

V S

at Engle-

wood

church

In

Jacksonville Fla.

and

our

new

truck that

Bob

Shannon from

Larg

Fla.

steered

our way.

Importers of vehicles to

Jamaica

must

have

licenses

before

shIppIng..11

censes

th

are almost impossible to obtain and

if

possible take at

least

four months.

But

when God's children

have

a

need

He

helps. We shippci our new Ford truck to arri

on

July kth.

On

July 6th we went to apply for a license. In less than

two

minu

we left

the office with our license.

We had

no appointment to see the Administr

and we had

never

met him

or

known

him. Praise the

Lord He

is able to do the

i

possible.

.to do

exceeding abundantly

above all that we

ask or think.

You

see the

Lord knew we needed

it...and urgently.

We want

to

thank

each

and e

one

of

you

who

had

a part

In

making

up

this

gift.

We

are certainly grateful.

The duty on the truck

has

not been

paid

since

we were

able to get a bank

guarant

until the

government makes

a decision on whether or not to allow

us

a duty-free

status. We are praying that they will see our need and release us. So pray wit

Grandma Walker is feeling better the boys are fine and we have a darling

new

b

In our

Home.

He

Is

Billy

aged 18 months. Your gifts of love are a continual

blessing and this

month

enabled us to take Billy. Thank

you

ever so much.

Yours faithfully

serving

Christmas

was yesterday. The

t ree l ights

are s t i l l burning and l i t t l e

voices

are s t i l l shr i l l and happy and

we

are

basking

in the blessing of the Lord,

thanking Him

for

27 Christmas-Joy_Times in Jamaica. Your loving friendship has

always been

a

rea l p art

of

our

Christmas

happiness.

And

speaking of God's

blessing, we

have one

more to

add

to the

years

of

our ser

vice

fo r the

Lord.

This

one

offers

another

grea t

challenge

in

our

l ives

The

President

o f H aiti has made a personal

invitat ion

to us to - come

over

to Haiti

and help. ' ' With

i t

he has agreed

to give

us a l arge p iece of

land for

farming

and for the

establishment

of a

school,

medical

cl inic

and orphanage.

We

have

prayed seriously

about

th is for many months and have now decided to lend our

hands and hear ts in tha t direc t ion

The

work w i l l

We vis i ted

Haiti in March of th is

the Home and with Nursie Peterson

whom

they

have come to love

fo r over three

years

now. Jamaicans

are now wil l ing

and able

to

support this work. Praise

the Lord

No

doubt there will

be

many questions in

your minds concerning

the Home

and

the

work in Hait i .

be

off the

press in a shor t

time.
