God uses little old me to do not so little things

Hey everybody this is Jordan Knepper, we want to thank you guys so much for your prayers and support for all of us here. I personally have seen God orchestrating things in ways that I never expected and before I expected things to even start. I hope you don't mind a story because I have one for you. On our second flight from Atlanta to Kingston. I sat next to a stranger and me being the social butterfly I am, I struck up a conversation with him. As the talk continued I learned that he works for an outsourcing company and that he has four kids and is a Christian and was on his way to an important meeting with a top person of Microsoft and so by the end of the conversation I got to pray for him and that God would give him the right words to say and the right choices to make. By the way his name is Dan, so it was really neat just seeing how God used me to impact something that is so much bigger then me or Dan or even his meeting. We both left that plane feeling Gods touch on our lives. So keep praying and keep checking for stories. Today we split into two groups and my group ministered to a preschool which had about 25 kids and we just played with them and loved on them and let God use us. Even In the extreme heat, humidity and some tiredness. But for now I must go we are all finished working for today and we are now gonna play a good game of ninja. God bless! We love you all, don't forget to check back! -Jordan Knepper 

First Day

Hey everyone! This is Dani Shover.

So far, Jamaica is awesome!

Our team has been split into two groups for ministry time. My group spent time doing VBS at a preschool this morning. All the kids were ADORABLE and so loving! They wore a lot of us out, and a few people almost passed out from the heat, but we are relying on God to give us our strength. :)

Later, in the afternoon we spent time at a nursing home. Most of them were napping, but the few women that were talking with us were amazing! Their faith encouraged all of us and I can only hope to be like them someday.

We are all trying to adjust to the non stop sweat coming out of our bodies, but we are all enjoying ourselves just as much. 

I miss you mom and dad! Love you both! 

Thanks to everyone praying for us!

Leaving & Boarding

I'm not one to post on blogs but I must say how great God is in guiding our travels. We had one of the easiest, smoothest travels one could dream! Delta even offered to check all of our bags for free! 

I'm not one to brag about things, but I will brag about how great God is to us! Even if we have a horrible experience in our travels (which we have) we still come out saying how GREAT God is to us! He knows what's up! 

It is our duty to have Faith and walk blindly some or most times. In the end, no matter what happens, He takes care of us because we walk along side of Him in our faithfulness. In what seems to be our most trying times, He might be carrying us when we can no longer walk beside Him. 

I can speak for all of us in saying, nothing is more honorable in this world than battling the enemy in the name of Christ!! Battles may not always be pretty or even successful, but the war will always be won in Jesus' Name!

Looking forward to the battles we face in Jamaica  and the reliance and trust we place in our Heavenly Father!!

Off to Jamaica...
