Today the entire 2009 Nebraska AIM team was able to go to the City of Refuge and minister to over 70 children and adults. The City of Refuge is an orphanage for abandoned children and children who are involved in court cases. Missionaries Steve and Kim Puffpaff are the directors of the City. We had such a wonderful time ministering to the children. We presented puppet songs, object lessons, and Bible stories to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the beautiful children! After the ministry time around 10 children raised their hands to give their lives to Jesus! That is why we are here in Jamaica!!! We had our lunch at the City of Refuge (which was delicious) and then we spent a little over and hour playing games, painting faces, and tying balloons for the children!
Today was the final day for ministry here on the Island as far as the organized places of ministry goes, because where ever we go here in Jamaica there are opportunities for ministry! Tomorrow will be our final day in Jamaica and the AIM team will be going the Dunns River Falls and to the "tourist" thing tomorrow.
Thank you for your many prayers through out this entire trip!!! I want to encourage you to check out the pictures from today because words just can't express the beauty of the mountains where the City of Refuge calls home. God Bless!!!

Thanks for the wonderful updates. We have been so blessed to be a part of your trip through the post and pictures. We are not getting any new pictures. I do not know if it is just us or what. We are praying for God to move as you finish your time there.
