While we were on our mission trip to Jamaica, one of our team members brought along a “drone” with a GoPro camera attached to take some aerial video footage. He also brought some other cameras to capture a lot of what was going on during the trip. The other team members got to see the final product last night as we presented to the church about our trip. It blew me away – what talent this guy has for video and artistry! Seeing this video makes me want to hop on a plane and go back down there today. I hope you enjoy it. ALL of this video was shot by my friend during our trip.

I will post a more in-depth look back at this trip after I have had time to catch up on sleep and reflect on everything, but I am on a plane back to the States and had some time to post one last current entry.
Friday night we held an outdoor concert at a church in a remote part of Jamaica. We showed up around 6:00 pm, set up our sound system in the front of the church, and started playing music so that the local community could hear that something was going on. The church let us use a horn that was installed on the roof and we were able to pipe our sound through that as well. We had a team of students and local preachers that walked out and through the various roads to invite households to come out and hear us. We carried pews from the church outside so the people could sit down and at about 7, we started our concert.
One of the things our team did before coming down to Jamaica was prepare a notebook to hold chord charts for a little over 100 songs that we could leave with the campers for their churches. As part of our teaching, we have given them the chord charts for a different key each day, so day one was the Key of C and day two was the key of G, etc. We teach based on the key (for example, day one is Key of C so the guitars learn the C, F, and G chords as well as some others in that key.)
