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.)
Well, the highlight of the day was without a doubt the news that my wife is cancer free! The pathology reports came back good and there is only a small chance this tumor will ever return. Even if it were to return, it would only be the non-aggressive borderline type. This is a huge answer to a lot of prayers!
