Hello all, this is Phil.
I know many of you were wondering what in the world happened to our blog. I fully understand your confusion and would like to quickly explain what happened.
Well, while at Fairhaven (our Jamaican residence) we were attempting to update the blog as frequently as possible. However, on Wednesday night we started to really experience some technical difficulties and we found it impossible to upload pictures and update the blog. We also were going through some trials as a team about the concept of being on a missions trip and being fully present wherever we were. We were in Jamaica and we all needed to realize this fact and to fully focus on the tasks at hand. Too often we found ourselves worried about the comings and goings of home and the preoccupation with the blog began to distract the team. So, God being good all the time, provided a way for us to gel as a team and to leave the distractions of home at home. He shut down the internet. Praise the Lord! I know it wasn't convenient for those of you reading this blog, but it was an essential need for our team and it proved to be so fruitful.
We won't leave you empty though. We have decided to update the blog with pictures and stories of our adventures with the Lord while in Jamaica; even though we are home it's still important to tell the story of what God has done. So stay tuned for forthcoming blogs and pictures.
