Montego Bay? Isn't that the luxury spot on the island where tourists travel for fun? Yes. Tourists need Jesus. The people in the resorts need Jesus. The people outside of the resorts need Jesus. The common trait among all, rich and poor, is the need for Christ and His love. It's okay to share and demonstrate the Gospel in fun locations. It's this acceptance that led to dozens coming to know Christ in Disneyland when Bethel Church (based in Redding, CA) took students from their school of ministry to reveal the love of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit to visitors of the popular theme park. (Click to see what happens when God lands in Disneyland.)
Our friend, William, is leading a team from Believers Church in Douglasville, GA. This is the church's first overseas mission. Kermit, my father-in-law who is a veteran of ministry in Jamaica, has been asked to help train the team. At our first meeting together, he shared practical information, but not without stirring others with testimonies of Jamaicans being healed, delivered, saved, and baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Mark 16:15-20 says that as we go, signs and wonders should confirm the Word that is preached. William, who had back pain for years, was totally healed as the Kingdom of God was demonstrated to the soon-to-be missionaries. More were healed after William. It was made plain and simple... the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven is made possible by the finished work of the cross and manifested by the Holy Spirit.
See you on the island!
